redcard Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 was drilling holes in the lawn soft clay dirt w/ earth auger in hammer mode, did 29 holes and on the final one caught a rock and torque snapped the handle case in half. never dropped , kept indoors in its case and used maybe every 3 months if that. the plastic is a bit brittle. I tried JB weld but broke again the next day. is the case available to be replaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 http://www.ereplacementparts.com/ There is a DW988 & a DC988. Make sure u got the right model #. The case ("Clamshell") is $12-20 depending on the model & type you have. It does not come with the 2 stickers ("Dewalt Logo Label" & "Nameplate"), or the screws.
