    How do you put in a drill bit
    ByAug 29, 2023
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    To insert a drill bit or other accessory, follow these steps. 1. Turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source. 2. Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck with one hand and use the other hand to secure the tool. Rotate the sleeve counterclockwise (as viewed from the front) far enough to accept the desired accessory. 3. Insert the accessory about 3/4" (19 mm) into the chuck and tighten securely by rotating the chuck sleeve clockwise with one hand while holding the tool with the other hand. Continue to rotate the chuck sleeve until several ratchet clicks are heard to ensure full gripping power. Be sure to tighten chuck with one hand on the chuck sleeve and one hand holding the tool for maximum tightness.

      Will this handle drilling through 8" of concrete?

      No

      By|Jul 13, 2022

        No this does not have a hammer option. If you're doing 8 inches of concrete get a SDS hammer drill. This drill is very powerful and would help in a lot of situations but not this one.

        By|Jul 12, 2022

          Yes 

          By|Oct 11, 2025

            This Model is not designed for drilling concrete.  This model doesn't feature a hammer drill function for drilling concrete.  Wood, Steel, Plastics, Composites but not Concrete.  There is another Model that appears identical to this unit that offers a Hammerdrill feature.

              With this type of hammer drill you may have to start with a small bit and work your way up to the desired size.  The brushless drill stops whenever it binds. That’s one thing I don’t like about it.

                By|Apr 23, 2022

                  It does to an extent but there’s a better tool for it. An angel drill would be a better choice.

                  By|Apr 26, 2022

                    Way more than that - it runs my 10"  ice auger in sub zero temps, with the ice being 4 feet thick with no problem. It drills more than 20 10" ice holes on one 20v charge, probably more than that  but I never had a need for more and still had charge. Great tool.

                      Does this drill work for drilling into brick?

                      Answer This Question

                      Hello DrillingBrick Thank you for your contact. We apologize for any trouble or inconvenience in finding information. This drill can be used for drilling into brick. For masonry, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion drilling. However, if the drill's primary purpose will be drilling into brick and masonry, we would recommend getting a hammer drill such as model number DCD996. Best Regards Sherri C DEWALT

                          Yes, I use this with my K-drill and it works great. I have a 6amp hour battery that will drill about 20 holes through 14" of ice.

                              it has enough torque

                                95 Nm max torque, which is 840.8 in-lbs. In independent tests it's been found that this is an underrated number, it is likely closer to 1000 in-lbs. Milwaukee rates their best drill at 1200 in-lbs, but that number seems to be overrated. Honestly they are both about the same.

                                The DCD991B has 820 UWO. We no longer use torque to rate the power of our drills. We now use unit watts out or UWO. UWO is the maximum power output for a drill system. It takes into account the efficiency of the entire drill system (transmission, clutch, and chuck). UWO measures the power of the drill at the chuck.

                                  2 speed vs. 3 speed transmission as well as 11 vs.15 clutch settings. DCD991B specs note all metal transmission...

                                  The dcd991 has three speed setting and is a bit larger than the dcd791.

                                      I have several Dewalt tools and am pleased with all of them. I needed a drill with a side handle to operate my Eskimo Pistol ice auger with at least 18 volts and 4 amps. I already had a charger and two 5amp/hour batteries, so ordered this bare drill. It's perfect. Drill and battery weigh less that 5 pounds and the pistol is less than 4 pounds... beats the heck out of lugging my 40 pound gas auger! This drill packs up easily and powers the auger through 20 inches of ice in under 10 seconds! And at 68, I can lug it across the ice so much more easily! Bought the same drill in a "kit" (Drill, tote, charger, 2 batteries) for my son in order to share my joy!!! Instead of having a gas powered auger I can use a few times, I have a drill I can use all year!

                                      I am now on my second DCD991 hammerdrill/driver. I just purchas the bare tool because I have multiple 9ah batteries in my toolkit. This drill is a workhorse. I use it daily. Mostly for drilling holes through steel, concrete/brick and in a very oily, dirty environment. This drill holds up to all the obstacles thrown at it. I have never had a problem. I recommend the flexvolt 9ah batteries, the lanyard and belt clip.

                                        It keeps working even with rough treatment.
                                        I used this at work for 15 years and it held up even when I didn’t. I used it to mount equipment to plywood walls in equipment rooms. I mounted equipment to cement walls in manholes. I mounted equipment on utility poles 20 feet off the ground. It was a big time saver considering I used a brace and bit for the first 25 years of my career. Needless to say I learned to love DEWALT.

                                          The drill works great! My only complaint is that my old drill still worked great too, but I had to buy new because DeWalt discontinued the old-style batteries.
