    Hi, I have had the same problem but with a 54/60v grinder. The trigger failed and shorted out my battery, now the batteries are only able to be used on 18/20v.

     

    I opened the battery and found a fusable link to be blown. I soldered I piece of wire back in the place of the link and the battery work again on 54v. If you are going to do this, note that you are bypassing the safety feature of the battery and if there is a fault in one of your tools again it will not blow the fuse but possibly overheat the battery and run the risk of melting or exploding. 

     

    Hope this helps. 

    were you able to repair the grinder?

    I was reading some reveiws on the DeWalt DCD790 Brushless 20V Drill Driver and since January 2014, there were some reviews about the chuck having a bad wobble right out of the box and the replacement ones were the same. The other complaint was the chuck would loose its grip on the drill.bit.

    That was 4 reviews all complaining about the same problem.

    This drill uses an all metal chuck, does anyone know if its the same chuck used on the DCD795 Hammer Dril Driver.

    Has anyone experience these problems on theirs or has heard of this before?


    I just wanted to say that five years later they are still having the exact same problems. Ridiculous wobble and slipping bits. I'm on my third 20V MAX* XR® BRUSHLESS CORDLESS 3-SPEED HAMMER DRILL/DRIVER DCD996B since May 2019 and 2nd 20V MAX* CORDLESS BRUSHLESS XR® 3-SPEED DRILL / DRIVER DCD991B since April 2019. 6-8 weeks of that time the drills have been out of my hands waiting for "repairs". They keep sending me new drills which keep developing the same problems. Out of the box at least this new hammer drill doesn't appear to have such absurd runout, but it hasn't actually put a hole in anything yet. Will update this after a little use.
