![]() That was 4 reviews all complaining about the same problem. The other complaint was the chuck would loose its grip on the drill.bit. I was reading some reveiws on the DeWalt DCD790 Brushless 20V Drill Driver and since January 2014, there were some reviews about the chuck having a bad wobble right out of the box and the replacement ones were the same. Maybe tomorrow I'll give it a try, I've got 89 days left to prove it. I told him I was familiar with how they worked but had read a lot of reviews about the chuck problems that he wasn't aware of. I asked him about the problem with the chuck and he said if you hear the click when you tighten the chuck it will be locked and it won't back off. Either way I don't want to deal with having to ship this drill out to a repair center at my expense, the way I see it there shouldn't be any problems with it for what it cost. I keep thinking what happens if the chuck acts up after the warrantee is over. I haven't even opened the box yet and I have second thoughts only because with my luck, I'd be the one to get a bum one. The wife said, just get it, you know you want it so I did. He heard me tell my wife that they had the compact Brushless drill/impact combo kit that I've wanted for a while and he said, if I buy one today he would throw in a free 2.0 ah fuel cell battery. He had a demo display set up with all the 20V tools and a free gift drawing going on. He must of liked our answer because he put a couple of free drill driver bit kits in our basket, one for my wife and one for our daughter to go with their 12V drill. ![]() A Dewalt Rep was there and saw that we were buying the kit and asked us why we were buying it. We took a ride to Lowes today to pick up another compact 12V drill/driver and impact combo kit, this ones for our daughter, she needs a new drill. There's a couple more reviews from January and March of 2015. I honestly can't figure out how a chuck can wobble on a new drill out of the box and how can it loosen up and the bits fall out. Well it's been a while now since I started this thread and it looks like this issue is still surfacing so aparenty the problem hasn't been addressed. The last thing I want to do is buy a tool and have to send it to a repair shop to change the chuck. The other option is seeing how this chuck problem has only been a problem for a few, I could buy the DCD790D2 kit and give the drill a serious workout and see if I can get the chuck to fail, I might get lucky and get a good one if not return it. This one has had good reviews and no problems reported with the chuck. Maybe I'd be better off going with the DCK280C2 compact drill driver and impact kit. I really wanted to go brushless this time around. My DCD760 18V drill driver has never loosened up, it's the best chuck I've ever had. I'm just about ready to buy the DCD790D2 kit but now have second thoughts. Maybe this is just a random problem with the chuck on the DCD790, either way the problem does exist, I don't believe all these people made it up.
