  • This dewalt sds drill, the DCH273 is supplied with very little grease inside. After a few years of work, the piston and striker can become dry inside and wear out.
    The repair is quite easy but getting into the piston can be headache.

    Thanks for posting these vids. Usually work on Paslode nailers but my son brought one of these Dewalts home from work and asked me to try to repair. Couldn’t have done it without you👍

    Fixed mine by greasing the piston and hammer. Your video saved the SDS! Thanks!

    Just wanted to say a huge thank you. stumbled on this video by accident this morning as i was just having a look through CZcams and I can’t express how thankful I am because my Dewalt SDS drill started playing up a couple of days ago and had similar issues as mentioned in the video with it being dry, so I took it all apart, just in time as was showning slight signs of wear so added in grease and everything seems to work like a dream. Although when I first reassembled back together, hadn’t noticed that the little electrical clip had come loose, so when I screwed everything back together and tried it, it didn’t work at all. 🤦‍♂️so then had to take everything apart again, and suddenly noticed that the electrical clip had come apart. just one for the future for anybody else trying this.
    Many thanks for the video. 👍

      You don't happen to have one on the dewalt jigsaw DCS570 do you? as mine is not working for over a year, had to buy a second, but still have the old. I did try to take it apart and have a look, but couldn't fix it.?? Be really helpful. Let me know if you have one on it or planning a video 🙂

    Very helpful, I noticed you didn't use graphene grease, it's cheaper and DeWalt prefers it, probably because it means you have to replace the drills more often or fix them,

    Hi Dean love your channel keep it up one question dewalt dch273 type 2 brushless after striping and regreasing the piston and on further inspection have noticed the electric motor full of grease,coming out of vents top and bottom 4 screws hold motor together is it possibly to seperate it for clean out it’s all working fine but it’s going to be a problem later suspect somebody filled casing up wit to much grease any help would be much appreciated Thanks Alan Roker Guildford surrey 1:29

      Take outbthe brushes, take out the 4 bolts and the motor should come apart. Some kerosene and a paint brush will clean it up like new again. Just make sure the grease has not come from the top armature bearing.

    I know you're a busy guy, but with that much knowledge, you must have some valuable consumer opinions. Would be cool to see a buyer's guide for reliable gear. Today videos in that format are made by influencer-seller type, which isn't particularly helpful and they only talk about new, recently released stuff that wasn't around for long enough to really evaluate it. I for one would be interested in a trusty SDS drill that will last. There is a bunch of types of jobs that people have for them, professional or not, so I guess it wouldn't be just one model from the past but an opportunity to make a short list of recommendations.

    • @deandohertygreaser

      They where modified a few years ago and improve the longevity, the grooves allow grease to move into the hammer pipe and keep the piston lubricated
