Here we replace the gearbox, clutch and chuck on a Dewalt 18v XRP drill as one complete unit. This is extremely useful if the gearbox on your drill is damaged. Brought to you by http://www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/

  • Looking forward to the repair video. I'd be of the oldschool 'fix it' brigade. I manage to keep things going for a long time that way. There are plenty of cheap tools these days 'Rok', 'Powercraft' etc which I think perform very well, but as soon as the brushes go, that's that. Any tips on that?

  • @DaithiDublin

    Fixing things is good ;-)

    The makes you mention above are probably of the disposable type of tool, when it is broken a repair is not viable so you have to scrap it and get a new one

  • Its not that old is it ,did you contact dewalt?

  • @benny5825

    No, it was not really broken. I think it was dropped onto concrete and it landed on the chuck. I have now fixed the gearbox and so I have a spare one ;-)

    Most of my Dewalt stuff is 7 years old and still going strong ;-)

  • Great information - quick question had it been more than 3 years since the drill was purchased? It looks like the DC988 Hammerdrill. It looks like the newer version - if it was less than 3 years it should have been under warranty. It is great information that you share - it is sad that nowadays it is almost cheaper to replace than to repair. We seem to be more disposable.

    I know exactly what you mean about disposable items, when I was a kid I used to replace the elements in electric kettles. These days I bet you can't even buy an element and if you could it would be dearer than a kettle!

    Thanks for the comment ;-)

    The drill is about 2 years old, I could of stripped it down and fixed it, but I saw the unit for sale on ebay for £40 and bought it so that I could show people how easy it is to change parts on it. I have fixed the gearbox that I took out there was only a dislodged part in it. I have bought a broken Dewalt drill as well so that I can show how to fault find and fix it when it arrives! continued-
