Khai Le Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi Everyone, newbie here. I tried searching for an answer but could not find one. I just bought a Dewalt DC820 and cannot figure out if there is a socket release button or an easier way to change the sockets. Any help would be appreciated!

NicholasShetley Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Is it a pin detent or a friction ring? If it is a pin detent you usually need a small screwdriver or punch to push the pin down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khai Le Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 It is a pin detent. So the only way is to use a small screwdriver and push down on it? Seems like a real hassle. Did not know if there was a release button like on a regular socket wrench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Since you said you just bought it could you get it returned for a model with the friction ring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khai Le Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I bought it off eBay. I would have to pay for shipping to return it. If only way is to use a small screwdriver, I will deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framer Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 i usually slide the socket on so that the pin does not line up with the hole in the socket. then you can just pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
