I believe that your retaining clip must have been sprung. There is no way that you just pressed a good one on with your fingers that easily. That is the hardest part. I have put several on and it has always taken me several minutes.
Exactly the same thing just happened to my dewalt impact, which I been using for almost 10 years now without problems, I believe it is the same model (It is at work right now). Found that small piece of spring or whatever that is on a magnet inside the chuck. Thanks for the video, will order a new chuck or maybe upgrade to a new one, they are quite cheap.
I wanted to see how to reinstall the clip that holds everything in. I’ve been fighting with it forever using a pile of different tools. But you seemed to just stick it back in with your fingers. You didn’t show that part.
I switched from dewalt to Milwaukee about 6 years ago and I am more than pleased with their performance and quality. I am a farmer and mechanic and they get used daily and sometimes abused . But that being said dewalt makes a great grease gun . Keep up the good work!
It's a little confusing.install the lock spring and detent ball on top, then install the collet (tapered end out), then install your longer spring, washer, and lock ring. The collet has ridges to separate the springs (very important). Mine had the end of a broken bit jambed inside, and I lost the little ball taking it apart. 😢
@@radozeman my DCF885 doesn’t have a clip ring like in most videos. It has, what looks like, a flat washer with an indent on the chuck center. But nothing I can pull apart to remove.
Geez, at first I was glad to see this, as mine did the same thing, and I purchased a spring set. But c'mon, man... a little narration would have been more than helpful as you were making the changes. And when you are talking, could you talk any faster? And I totally check out when you say "not sure, we'll see what happens." Nice.

I’ve always put them on by hand, it’s not easy but it can be done. 4 years on my last rebuild, it’s still on there.

I repaired mine without purchasing a new spring. I just bent the broken spring back into shape with some needle-nose pliers. Works great!
Usually springs break when you try to bend them, surprised this worked!
@@radozeman not if you heat them up first.
Glad to see another shop video!
Perfect, thank you, exactly what i was looking for.
Sweet, thanks for this. Cant wait to cut my fingers open getting those rings off
Rotfl
Compress spring and washer with cotton thread. Install lock ring burn thread with torch pop it’s fixed
Please could you provide me with the part number of the replacement set that I need for your screwdriver?
Glad to see another real life video! Keep up the good videos.
Thanks!
Same thing happened to me… instead of getting a rebuild kit I just bent the spring and good as new
I thought about trying that, wasn't sure how well that would work.

Ouch…. You can order those parts as well, sometimes a magnet can get the old bit out.
Good video, 5 minute fix!
great video you could almost see what u did
I put my chuck in backwards now I don’t know how to take it off
Would have been nice if you showed how to remove the retainer!
With a pick if I recall correctly.

@@slimmmerman no clip ring?! There’s not one under the lip of the chuck? I don’t know then….
Thanks this really helped
thank god!!! now to cut my finger ends and lose my temper ....wish me luck!
😂 not that bad of a job, just watch out for the small parts!

Well it’s not like I’ve ever taken one of these apart before, but it was a successful repair!
