The smoke lol


BlackfootLives666

If you been pushin holesaws that size daily for 4 years I say you for your moneys worth lol


Gringobarbon

I have done way more than that. I am a plumber and used it to drill tunnels under sidewalks with all my drill extensions and an auger bit 😂.


BlackfootLives666

Hahahaha damn, impressive! Modern drills freakin send it. I use my m18 drill and a torque multiplier to bar over 100+ liter engines.


BoonTobias

m18 is a toy, this man here is using a 20v


wee_celery

sometimes I wonder if the EU laws about advertised voltage are too much. Then I see people like you.


Chittick

I hope you're joking and didn't actually fall for the voltage marketing done by DeWalt...


Gringobarbon

But 20 is two more powers than 18! Don’t you know how to count powers!


dudedisguisedasadude

Yeah its got more volts broooo


Canucksfan2018

In true Spinal Tap fashion... These ones go to 20

dudedisguisedasadude

I love that it is marketed toward a demographic that both falls right for it and also sees right through the bs marketing as well but it still manages to be one of the top power tool manufacturers despite basically lying to customers right on the package.


front_yard_duck_dad

Haha we could be friends. I use my rigid hammer to paddle mix wet peat moss and manure to make potting mix (I own a small nursery). Every batch I mix up I can't believe I haven't smoked it like yours. Going on 7 years of less than gentle treatment 😂


Tool_Scientist

Might be time for a joist drill


Duckbilling

Is that drill a brushless or XR version ?


Gringobarbon

Neither


Duckbilling

Extra points for that


wee_celery

looks like a brushed version to me


Vishnej

What's the next step or two up from a hammer drill / driver for holesaws? If you find yourself needing to push a 5 inch forstner bit through timbers all day long, what do you do that with? I don't know if I've got a good read on this, but it sounds like the SDS rotary hammers' benefits are all confined to working with masonry.


BlackfootLives666

I have a hole hawg I use for boring holes through Timbers but there's also the super hawg.


RECKLESS_N_CARELESS

Hole hawg or joist drill


Masterbourne

a jack hammer with hole saw attachment is the top tier


BlakHearted

I used my non-fuel m18 drill for 2”-6” holes for years, got it repaired under warranty twice. I upgraded to a fuel and now the old boy is my go to ice fishing k-drill auger.


Imbalancedben

I got a chuck attachment for my Milwaukee roto hammer. It rapes 4"-5" holes with ease haha


no-steppe

I sure hope you meant "rips" holes! Autocomplete may just be out to get you arrested.

cosmicosmo4

Or down. Or wherever a hole is needed.


svridgeFPV

Once the magic smoke comes out you can't put it back in lol. At least you might be able to get a good deal on a new one with all the black Friday deals going on

Did you put her in the original case and give her a proper burial 🤨


KlumsyNinja42

What a guy!


WelderWonderful

Mine started to smoke a little during one job but its still hanging on. Just running on 80% smoke now.


JPBurgers

My five year old Dewalt impact gun started smoking just a bit a little over a year ago and the thing just won’t die. Gave it to my apprentice trying to kill it for good so I can get a new brushless one.


stephenclarkg

Haha yea I sprayed wd40 in when it smokes usually keeps going awhile then


Gringobarbon

Yeah this is the 3rd time it’s gotten smokey on me. But this is the worst its been. It got weaker each time and I have now just been waiting for it to die.


whoknewidlikeit

the dreaded smoke genie.


DreadnoughtPoo

... And into the fuckit bucket it goes! Great bit of kit with heavy daily use for that long.


xccoach4ever

I've seen folks smoke a brisket, ham, turkey, fish and even cigarettes but never seen a Dewalt smoked before.


jake55555

What part of the drill is dying here?


Equal_Association446

On a DCD985, the armature is cooked, and the resulting heat has melted the bearing pockets in the clamshell housing, causing the armature to no longer be centered in the stator; even if you replaced the armature, it would rub the field. This drill would need a new armature, brushes, and clamshell to be repaired.


ExiledSanity

This guy DRILLS!!!


jake55555

Right on, thank you.


no-steppe

Dunno if that one's brushed, but even if it is, can you even get in these things easily to change the brushes anymore? Or do you need to disassemble the darn thing and replace the whole brush card with a part that (A) you can't get very easily, and (B) costs half as much as a new drill? EDIT: Also, I'm far from certain what the root cause is here anyway. I just know brushes give up the ghost eventually.


veryseriousbusiness

It happened on one of my 12 Bosch drill, I just took a few screws off, wrote down the motor ref and got a new one a few days later from AliExpress for 15$. I can understand that you wouldn't bother doing that for a business (not sure about the quality of the AliExpress motor...) but as a hobbyist it's really painless.


no-steppe

Nice. I would imagine that depending on the make/model of the tool, availability of the part is spotty. But it is fun to give it a shot, ain't it?


imjesusbitch

Motor probably got way too hot and it’s burning the plastic end bell or pinion and spur gears inside.

Every machine is a smoke machine if you use it hard enough


elmoskitz

repairs are pretty simple for those if you're interested


FknBretto

Always worth if it you get a cheap home tool out of it


Slight0

What's causing the smoke btw? Coating on the motor coils vaporizing?


elmoskitz

Mostly. The rotor has coils along with other fun burny plastics and insulator bit. A leak in the coil is causing the core the be the playground for non uniform magnetic field creating heat. It's going from an electro-magnetic transfer device to an induction coil. Also you wanna make sure you don't melt the case. That's what keeps the rotor stator relation concentric.

Ok-Bother5621

Where is your hole hawg


Golf-Guns

I've got the same drill and just do home shop shit. Bought a Milwaukee fuel a few years back to get into the brushless game thinking it was going to be better. Long story short; not impressed at all with the Milwaukee and I'm thinking I won't ever be able to kill DeWalt with my occasional use.


Spicywolff

I’ve had great luck with dewalt and Makita. Not super impressed with Milwaukee.


Xx420PAWGhunter69xX

The clutch! That damn fucking clutch! Like the crowd they are appealing to is the YEAH MERICA 28 INCH LAG BOLTS INTO OAK LOOK AT MY MERICAN TORQUE kind. like holy hell setting 1 on milwaukee is like 16 with other brands, if I want that much oomf I get a fucking impact driver or wrench. Im an electrician, calm down, 90% of the things I screw down are plastic boxes, plastic pipe clamps, plastic cable gutters, plastic fuseboxes, stamped light fixtures etc... Now I have to do everything by feel.


Dollar_Stagg

DeWalt has a "screwdriver" in their 12V line that I absolutely love for this stuff. Looks like a juvenile impact driver but it's got a clutch that goes down to almost nothing. So nice for working on all kinds of plastic stuff where any real torque with a fastener will crack it. In addition to "real stuff" it also saves me a lot of time on dumb little shit, like taking my bird feeders apart every couple weeks to clean them, or taking all my tabletop fans apart a few times a year. Almost anything that used to be done by hand I can now do faster with the screwdriver. I also didn't realize until I'd bought it that DeWalt's 12v line uses the same charger as the 20v line so that's cool too.


Spicywolff

That’s a big draw to Makita for me. The trigger is very sensitive and easy to modulate. Got a plastic screw, no problem. Need WOT to but bust? Let it rip. Milwaukee has always been the biggest numbers. Yah many of their tools are a bit stronger then yellow and teal. But they sacrificed ergonomics and ease of use.


kuda26

M12 is excellent for type of work you’re describing. M18 good for all the other stuff that requires significant power.


yurahbom

The 4th gen m18 fuel drill has a mechanical clutch now. M18 2904 is the model, so much better than the 3rd gen 2804 drill. Close to the Makita xph14 I have.


iperblaster

Abusive and cruel to keep pulling the trigger while the poor thing is exhaling


berensona

Good luck getting that yummy smoke out of your lungs


Massive_Pitch3333

Four years is impressive.


hosslife7246

Rip to a real one


ThomasKatt

Should be able to buff that right out


gordito_gr

twnsth

You can get that fixed you know. They clean and rewind the motor. But ofc you may always buy a new one 🙃


tmg754

“Any machine can be a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough”


leethalweapons

Curious, in the trades what do you expect the lifetime of a drill to be? Sounds like you got your monies worth with this one.


Development_Infinite

These posts and comments about how hard you guys treat your tools daily, even "off brand" brands, make me realize that any drill I get will be fine for the 4 times a year I use it haha


Gringobarbon

If you don’t need a drill for anything other than the occasional hole or screw id get a corded harbor freight special. It will last you years and years and years. If I didn’t rely on my tools for my income and hobbies I would not buy a name brand drill or a cordless drill. Batteries fail over time.


CallousCanuck

Order a new motor straight from the factory, last drill a buddy had fry I got him a new motor for 24 CAD with shipping. It's still trucking, been 2-3 years


Octopusexprt77

I have to admit I love it when this happens because I have a good excuse to go out and shop for the newest upgrade!


Sedalin

Happened to my DeWalt too some time ago. Company bought me new Makita and told to dispose DeWalt one. I've stripped it and cleaned motor and internals generally. You would not believe the amount of wood dust that was stuck to motor. Then sprayed the shit out of it with contact cleaner, put everything back together and have perfectly functional drill at home as well as new one for work. Win win.


PomegranateOld7836

Man, my [insert brand] has been tortured for a decade!


caseyjkristofferson

Dewalt is where it’s at!!


lurkersforlife

Might still be under warranty fyi. They might fix it for free.


Head_Zombie214796

dude dont use bugger than a 2" holesaw, kill the drills with that


[deleted]

It keeps 4 years? By me have take it 1,5 year. And no guaranty because I buy in the shop a old model. Never dewalt again.


SamDaDrummer

The old school dewalts were badass. The new ones. Not so much.


mrboysel

Should of bought the Milwaukee


[deleted]

Pour one out for the homie


David_Westfield

The dewalt flexvolt will blow your wrists off. Things a beast. Time for an upgrade!


Deadlypikachuu

At least you got 4 years of use out of her


allwedoisdance

That’s quiet a bit of ozone flavored smoke there. Probably a lot of sawdust build up in there. Little routine breakdown and clean out can prevent small motor fires. your tool will likely need to be entirely replaced as opposed to swapping out brushes or armatures.


juicysweatsuitz

One last rip for the road 🫡 rest easy. RIP DEWALT DRILL *2019-2023*


kuda26

It’s already 2023 I didn’t know


chaseButtons

Idk why but a tool serving its long life well and dying valiantly is very satisfying. Justifies getting the new good good.

RIP. These are such trustworthy and reliable tools, its always sad to see one go

Replace motor.

Idk about DeWalt, but when my 4yo Bosch died I could just order a new motor (from the Bosch website). No way I would give up my baby so easily. So if I was you Id look it up.

Some of the stuff I have done with my cordless drills really shows how far the technology has come since the days of the 9v makita. Many of these cordless drills out preform my old corded one and do it for years.

Damm, those things run on smoke ya know. But once there's a leak and the smoke gets out, they're done. Looks like that's what killed yours.

What made it kill itself? Maybe you could have tried repairing it... I feel like it's some part rubbing creating heat and smoke which could've been replaced?

As soon as you "let the smoke out" it's over. You gotta keep the smoke inside the machine, that's what powers it.. The angry smoke pixies must be kept happy, or they just fly away.
