dewalt brushless impact driver DCF-886

[olibrooks3]

can anyone help?

brought the DCF-886 impact driver about 12 months ago and stupidly forgot to register the tool on my dewalt account for the warranty. recently when I try to put a bit in the impact driver it does not click in and hold the bit so it always falls. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem and how they resolved it? ive seen that you can buy replacement parts online but im not sure what component I am looking for

any help would be appreciated

can't you register it now? you have to register it to get the warranty? Did you check on that?

Wish I could help, but I just purchased the DCF885, which is the brushed version.

Is the little steel ball still inside the sleeve? If it fell out that's your problem

The bit holder / chuck of the dcf886 is identical to the dcf885.

I would still try and register it.

I'd call Dewalt. Milwaukee date stamps their tools and batteries via the SN. If Dewalt does that, it'll show as under warranty. Never hurts to ask the source!

Dewalt has a 3 year warranty on their tools. Like ChrisK mentioned they will go off the date of manufacture if you can't find proof of purchase.

yeah they do have a date stamp on dewalt.

The date stamp should be on the bottom of the tool where the battery would go. Should be something like YYYY XX-XX
