Dang...Them DeWalts Have Got Some Torque!

[Geezy Rider]

Anyone know of a good place to get 18V batteries for one?

I rebuild mine for about half what the new ones cost.

Go with 20v DeWalt. You'll be glad you did

[Geezy Rider]

You just got a free upgrade to the flex-head model.

Now that’s funny.

Looks like you have a dedicated screw removal tool now (reverse only) lol

Interesting. I'll have to look into that. Got a nice drill and a circular saw that I haven't been able to use in a while. Best of luck fixing your drill.

Looks like the same drill I had.. That particular drill is discontinued and parts are hard to find.

Some Humble Weld will fix that right up....tells my age for those who remember!

Just broke my 20v exactly the same way today!

get the 20v adaptor/batts if you gotta bunch of good 18v tools & then graduate to the 20v line as the oldies give up the ghost.


Geezy, had an ancient war horse 18v impact that was sun faded & went everywhere with me. Anyway, gotta flat on a company 3/4 ton some time ago & it barely stayed together for the change...felt bad letting her go but man is the 20v a dream.

You can get parts for Dewalt tools I replaced the frame on one that got crushed

Looked for parts and Walker, you are correct, that part is discontinued but I was able , after an exhaustive search, find one for 12.95.
Thanks Saddlehorse for the tip.

So you can use 18 volt batteries on 20v tools or is it the opposite?

[Artos]

opposite...20v batt on the 18v tools.

Well can work too. Thanks.

If you want another one, I have about four of them I think. I really only need one for the house and one for the shop. Or vice versa, if you don't want another one and have good batteries, I could use another good battery or two.

Just watch out for your wrists when you get a new one. The torque on them is amazing.
