RickyMcGrath Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 My DCD995 started pulsating and shutting down completely if I put any real torque on the drill. Dropped off at service center and he said I'll have it to you in a week. I'll keep you updated as I find out more.
Hugh Jass Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 Interesting. My brushed old model dewalt impact started doing this today. Trigger would just die. Had to pull it a few times to get it going again.
RickyMcGrath Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Posted October 22, 2015 Picked it up today. The pickup slip said "rebuilt motor and replaced trigger." Get it to the truck and the same problem. Or so I thought. Took it back inside and they had a senior tech look at it and he informed me that it is normal on the new brushless as an overload protection? I'll have to run some bits and screws to give it a full test. Can anyone confirm or deny theirs does this? In short, if I use the drill power to tighten the chuck, the motor pulsates after the chuck is snug and shuts off. It does it in various modes, hammer, drill and various clutched settings. Again, I haven't put bits in it to see how that handles.
dwain Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 never happened to me. i drove crap loads of 100mm batten screws into my treated pine retaining wall, with not a blip.
JimboS1ice Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 I haven't seen anything like that either, I've banged through masonry, done some larger wood hole boring but never had anything happen like your problem.JimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
RickyMcGrath Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Posted October 22, 2015 I'm toying with my other 995 right now and it only does it when in a clutched mode. Going back to the original, I'm not seeing it as much. I am seeing it in hammer mode though as if it were clutching out. I'll take them both to work tomorrow and see how they handle. Apparently these brushless drills have an electronic clutch? They both clutch out in the same manor. No more mechanical skipping? On a side note, I never really notice how much torque these things have. If you're not careful and go to tighten the chuck under the power of the motor, that thing can flip right out of your hands on you.
JimboS1ice Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 It does have an e clutch but I have never noticed t engaging in drill mode, there is a ton of torque with the 995. As for tightening the chuck under motor power I remember seeing somewhere that it was recommended not to do it, usually I do it just until it's right before the bit then I hand tighten.JimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
dwain Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 Just don't go full speed and stop once the bit is held, then fully tighten by hand.
Gatorb888 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 The e-clutch does pulsate when it clutches out, we did that so it felt like a mechanical clutch to the user. However, it's not supposed to do that in drilling/hammer mode.

However, it's not supposed to do that in drilling/hammer mode.I figured that out last night by comparing to my other 995. This one definitely clutches out in hammer mode. It will briefly in drill mode only after switching from hammer to drill. So it looks like it's going back to the repair center. Luckily, I have a dozen other ones to choose from in the meantime.

[emoji51] I assume it's under warranty. Ask them to Warranty Exchange it for you.

Thanks in advance .I don't know if all DCD995's are made in the USA now, or that your drill is old stock. Kits that are made in the USA have a big sticker saying made in the USA with global components. Maybe GatorB can comment if they are still sourcing some DCD995's from China still.
JimboS1ice Posted November 15, 2015 Report Posted November 15, 2015 I believe newer ones are US assembled, mine is not.JimboSent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Gatorb888 Posted November 16, 2015 Report Posted November 16, 2015 The newer ones are, I think they started making them here this summer. I just visited the manufacturing facility a few weeks ago and saw them being made in person.
