New here and I have a quick question. Recently bought my first dewalts (former Bosch/Ridgid guy). Both the drill and impact seem pretty solid so far.
I have noticed that the drill has a slight grinding/friction type noise like something is off center in the power train of the drill somewhere. You can only hear it when in low speed (trigger) during a slow rotation, it happens in all 3 gears in both forward and reverse.
I did notice however, this only happens then the drill is held horizontally, when vertical or drilling downwards position the noise disappears.
I never hard previous drills do this before, anything of concern? I have seen reference of others describing similar noise online but no feedback on results or proposed answers. Just scrutinizing the new tool for reliability since it's a new purchase.
