I remembered how the Bosch's E-Clutch didn't work. So I decided in my infinite wisdom that the Dewalt's version won't work either. Let me share my findings.
My friend, I'm literally just about to go out and buy this drill over a DCD796M1 for general household DIY and the occasional heavy job. I'm just not sure about all this e-clutch business. Overall, which would you recommend as the best all 'round machine?
The DCD796 would actually be me reccomendation. As for the DCD996 E-clutch, the only grey area is flathead countersunk screws. For everything else it works generally well.
Hi Milton. I have the same dewalt 996 drill. I just had it back from warranty repair and noticed the drill speed on speed 3 drill setting spins slower than on speed 3 hammer setting. Is this normal?
I use a dealt drill everyday, the clutch is useless, I never use it anyway and anyone who uses these tools for a living don't rely on a drill clutch. Its a upper grade Dewalt drill that gets used by people who know how to use a drill, we don't need a clutch.
I've seen these things in the store but I didn't think that they worked for anything else than drywall. Thank you! Cheers.
Was about ot send this back as I asummed it was faulty! thanks for the top tip!
Thanks Milton, I'm enjoying your videos.
Thanks for the video!

Yes, it's normal. You get around 200 more RPM on hammer. It was a way to kick at Milwaukee.
