Great tutorial! I fixed mine but had to order the spring and ball. The "trick" if there is one to fitting that hog ring on last is to line the opening of the hog ring up with the flat part of the nipple of the impact wrench and press it downward with a small flat head screwdriver like the one you are using. It took me about 10 minutes of fiddling with it to pop it on. Now the tool is as good as new! THANK YOU!
Thank you for making this video. I somehow managed to get the ball to slip off the spring inside the chuck, which made the chuck unable to hold a bit. With this video, I was able to place the ball back where it belongs and now my impact is as good as new. Thanks again!
The last ring that hold everything together is a pain. Finally i got it by lining the split section up with the releaf cut in the fixed chuck itself,and work it in around. After many attempts i had a cuppa tea then thought just line the two sections up. Once again a cuppa tea saves the day🤣
Thanks. I spent an hour trying to get in it before reading your comment. Once lined up held it down with a flat head on one side then with one end of needle nose grab the ring while prying against the chuck slips right it. Also I didn't but the spring I just re made de bent in the broken one. The chuck if stuffed you have less pull to release your bit but at least it's fixed and works decent. Thanks for the good video.
I used my Dewalt to renovated a church (three stories) and build a single story house. It finally gave up the ghost. With this video I won't be small bundle to by a new one. Thanks
I have the dcf850 compact driver and this was very helpful even though the mechanism is slightly different. One might even say this video was “clutch”. 😂
I repair tools as a sideline. Sometimes that split ring will slip on and off easily and other times it takes a half an hour and many choice words to get it back together. I found it just takes patience.
Thanks so much. I had the chuck off for days now, and couldn’t for the life of me remember to get it back together correctly. I tried a few combinations but it makes sense the spring is under neath the hog ring now. I was getting ready to order a replacement spring 🤣
Good to know about the 885, I happened to have a dead one. Took both apart. As it turns out, the spring on my 887 was perfectly fine. So I tried swapping the collet from the 885 onto the 887 and that fixed it. Put the collet from the 885 on the dead 887, wouldn't hold a bit. Thanks for the tips!
I sent my impact away for this, took 19 months to get it back and Canadian tire told me it wasn’t covered by warranty so they gave it back to me still broken 😡 I took it apart an bent the spring and it’s been working fine since!!
They also told me it would be $2-$3 for a new spring if I fixed it myself OR $100+ if I wanted them to replace the spring! Just give me my impact back! No parts needed and I did it in 5 minutes!! Warranty is run out cuz they had it for almost 2 years, that’s 18 months longer then I had it lmao
3 minutes or 3 years 😂 I feel ya 👍 I tried to try getting mine to allow bit to go in without having to pull sleeve but now it’s not holding at all so here I am making sure I’m not crazy 😂🤘
Update . I ended up getting the order right and working but catching still but I have another one I ended up bending the current spring where broke like yours did and with some adjustments it seems to work.👍 Thanks 🤘 think I’ll still try getting a couple new springs
845 uses an extra ring (2-part ring) instead of a spring hook. the extra ring goes between the spring and the ball to push the ball up. so the spring can't break. the ball can still slip to the bottom though. that's what cause spring breaks in all of these. but in 845, you just need to push the ball up and reassemble. the fun times with hog ring are still there though. sigh.
One thing I have learned, not all bits are the same. Name brand bits hold, they are a bit wider. However, cheap harbor freight bits etc..., do not hold in my DeWalt Impact drill chuch.
@@TacticalThib thats a fact i actually picked another 1 up today still gonna fix this 1 tho its been a great impact I'm gonna fix it and retire it to the house

You have a right to be upset that is useless from Canadian tire sounds like they should retire

You made me laugh about the hog ring. It can take 3 minutes or 3 years.
I did quick after watching your video.
