Hi All,
A newbie, and a bit of a covid-19 turned DYI-er here. I’d be grateful for you advice. I recently bought a DeWalt DCD996 and have used it for occasional drilling in masonry (yes, I know – an SDS would be better, but I don’t do it often). I have drilled maybe 80 two-four inch holes for far, and the drill recently began making a rattling sound whenever I shake it (including when not powered), which was not present when new. Any thoughts? It’s still under warranty (3 months old), so I wondered if I should call DeWalt about it. Using Bosch Professional masonry drills with the drill.

Thought this drill can tackle some occasional masonry, so would appreciate advice!

We have a dcd995 that’s about 6 years old that makes a similar noise. Started doing it when it was like a year old and has never caused any issue with the drill. Its annoying but I’ve never actually tore it apart to try find out whats rattling.
Same issue and was wondering the same thing. Did you have any issues? I think it’s normal
In UK DCC996 when it was introduced first, it was made in Czech Rep. then they moved it to China and they are now all made in China. My friend got three of these, lost one and two got problem with chucks, I have opened one of these fully and cleaned it completely and checked if it is fixable, and checked for the spares and the price of the chuck was half of the tool itself! He got another DeWALT drill and within two days chuck was gone.
