Slowmo Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 okay so heres my dilemma, in 2008 i bought a dcd950 and dc385 combo kit at the time i didnt want to spit up the extra cash for the lithiums. it came with the charger for the lithium batteries though and so a few months later i bought one to see how much better it really was and used that setup until winter 0f 2009 when my drill and the xrp battery i had on it was stolen. the next day i bought a dcd970 to replace it since i liked the batteries so much. now i bought the dcd985 and dcs380 just because i wanted to upgrade and so i could keep an extra sawzall and drill on hand. well i got used to the self tightening so much that i keep my 20v at home and keep the 20v sawzall with three batteries and 18v hammerdrill with three lithium batteries at work because i hate the new chuck compared to the older style. but i like everything else about the 20v better except that chuck is too crucial to me to make that sacrifice. anyway i am wondering if anyone out there knows if there is a way to retro-fit a supra self tightening chuck onto my new dcd985 20v???

kjones Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 The dcd950/970 is getting the chuck from the 20v as well. Overall, users preferred the ratcheting style to the self tightening. They are both made by Rohm, just different styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
