How to repair a Dewalt 18v DCH273 SDS drill that is no longer hammering. 

Thanks for posting these vids. Usually work on Paslode nailers but my son brought one of these Dewalts home from work and asked me to try to repair. Couldn’t have done it without you👍

Just wanted to say a huge thank you. stumbled on this video by accident this morning as i was just having a look through RU-vid and I can’t express how thankful I am because my Dewalt SDS drill started playing up a couple of days ago and had similar issues as mentioned in the video with it being dry, so I took it all apart, just in time as was showning slight signs of wear so added in grease and everything seems to work like a dream. Although when I first reassembled back together, hadn’t noticed that the little electrical clip had come loose, so when I screwed everything back together and tried it, it didn’t work at all. 🤦‍♂️so then had to take everything apart again, and suddenly noticed that the electrical clip had come apart. just one for the future for anybody else trying this. Many thanks for the video. 👍

Fixed mine by greasing the piston and hammer. Your video saved the SDS! Thanks!

Im thankfully with this guy, I was able to fix my hammer drill, one of the pieces was Broken, I replaced it and I didn’t have to buy a new one, thank you so much

When he started disassembling and throwing screws around, I thought this guy is messy and unprofessional. Wow, he really knows his stuff and very sufficient. 👍

Thanks for sharing this it’s worked a treat. Piston on my was bone dry and lightly scored but I fibre buffed the piston cleaned re greased and the drill is flying now.

I've got an older 20 Volt nicd version, it was a cast off and ideal for my usage, I'm inspired to give it a service now as its probably similar inside👍

Had one of mine apart yesterday and greased it - from my experience their very reliable

Big thank you for that video.

Well done my man but if only parts were that fast to get.

thank you mate, fixed drill easily thanks to your videos

Very helpful, I noticed you didn't use graphene grease, it's cheaper and DeWalt prefers it, probably because it means you have to replace the drills more often or fix them, Your class, would love to buy you a pint, if I find myself in Donegal I want to get the first round in for ya, then I can disappear, my grandad was from Galway, please keep on making these videos,

I noticed that you put on a small spacer on the ball pin before inserting it. There doesn't seem to be one of these spacers on the parts list. Have you a number for it? Great video by the way. This man knows his stuff.

Very helpful video just followed the instructions and done mine only problem is I seem to have done something to it as it only has rotary hammer on every function any ideas where I've gone wrong

Hi Dean thanks for the video . I need to change the spindle on this drill as looks like the 2 locating pins have sheared off with only the ball bearing keeping sds bit in place . Is it difficult to do ?

Hi! Nice video, very helpful! Can you give reference code for the pieces we need to buy?

I. M. P. R. E. S. S. I. V. E. !

Love the videos, gave me the confidence to take mine apart and fix it.. one thing I have found is my chisel bit doesn’t stay straight when chasing out, is this just a chuck change or the spindle?

True . Built to fail and be replaced. Their double battery mitre saw is a joke . Just blows motor after motor

What type of grease do you use? as I’m about to try do this repair myself

Hi Dean, thank you for the video. I'm trying to reassemble my drill after making some repairs, but there is a big problem. I can't compress the largest internal spring enough... It seems impossible. If you have any tips I would really appreciate it.

I know you're a busy guy, but with that much knowledge, you must have some valuable consumer opinions. Would be cool to see a buyer's guide for reliable gear. Today videos in that format are made by influencer-seller type, which isn't particularly helpful and they only talk about new, recently released stuff that wasn't around for long enough to really evaluate it. I for one would be interested in a trusty SDS drill that will last. There is a bunch of types of jobs that people have for them, professional or not, so I guess it wouldn't be just one model from the past but an opportunity to make a short list of recommendations.

Hello Dean what brand grease u use in dewalt sds gearbox

Que tal te sigo en Tik Tok no se hablsr ingles 😅, vi un equipo igual al que reparas tengo uno igual que no funciona no gira solo enciende la lus led cual creés que sea la falla?

Hi, what grease you use?

Hey Dean, I use grease from a tube to grease up my Bobcat tractor...Can I use that grease to put inside the tools?

What grease is used as lubrication ?

Why 2 types of grease, and what is the name of the 2 types of grease? I’m going to have to this same exact repair myself, nobody around me that does this kind of work. Thanks.

Hi Dean love your channel keep it up one question dewalt dch273 type 2 brushless after striping and regreasing the piston and on further inspection have noticed the electric motor full of grease,coming out of vents top and bottom 4 screws hold motor together is it possibly to seperate it for clean out it’s all working fine but it’s going to be a problem later suspect somebody filled casing up wit to much grease any help would be much appreciated Thanks Alan Roker Guildford surrey 1:29

Hello, could you tell me what is the name of the part you changed so I can order it, thank you

And have you ever come across these with a symptom like it is hammering too hard really loud hammering and if you have what did you find was the problem

Any chance on answering a question just wondering do you sell parts for power tools

What grease should we use

❤

I know he has been on all fours….looking for a screw…

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Are these tools as good as people make them out to be ? I've always used Bosch professional & I've never had any problems from them, great vid 👍

Why are my pistons differently manufactured? The original is smooth on the outside and the new one has machined grooves going up and down on the outside, same part number, but different design.

wich is the best power tools to buy in the US like which name brand

Hello, what types of grease do you use for this type of drill?

Hello تشکر از برنامه خوبتان بااینکه زبان انگلیسی یاد ندارم ولی از دیدن لذت میبرم شما بسیار باتجربه و ماهر هستید

DeWalt or Milwaukee which one would you go for??

Bosch 18v sds is the best by far

I wonder if you see more DeWalt as they are more common. Therefore say 10% break of all majors brands going to be more as a number

Un pò di polvere gliela puoi anche togliere con un compressore e lavare le plastiche... Sei bravo meccanicamente.. ma TANTO SPORCACCIONE!!

What about hilti brand, or festool, metabo German made, do u get alot of thoses to fix or no

sos...sos..sos... im from mongolia

Dewalt are producing oul rubbish now ,unlike years ago .
