DeWalt automatically considers black friday 2013

I ordered the Dewalt 18 volt drill/driver kit to drive screws to repair a deck and to do drive screws and drill holes in other areas of my house and yard. The screw driver was quite powerfull driving screws into deckking and I had to set the torque controls on the chuck lower to keep from driving the screw heads on 3 inch screws 1/4-1/2 inch below the wood surface. After driving screws all afternoon, I was quite happy with the product. A few weeks later I had to drill holes through sheet metal, and noticed the drill bit wobbling badly, making it difficult to start the hole. After removing and reinserting the drill bit a few times, I realized that the problem was a bent shaft to the chuck. I didnt notice it using the short phillips head driver attachment, but it definitely made a difference in performance with a longer drill bit. I really liked the drill/driver and wanted a replacement rather than a return/refund. I was past the 30 day no questions return period anyway, but to their ccredit, Amazon still allowed me an exchange. I recieved the replacemtn 2 days later and the new drill appears to function correctly and has a straight chuck shaft. This tool is powerful, has a short body to allow access to smaller spaces, and seems to have a long battery life (I havent completely dishcarge a battery yet). I received this drill through Amazon as a wedding gift in August, 2012. The chuck broke (one of the vises in the chuck seized up) in October, 2013. When I dropped it off for repair at an authorized service center they told me DeWalt automatically considers the chuck a wear item and I had to pay for its repair. So I got stuck with a $55 repair bill on a $99 drill after 14 months of light use. This failure to cover the chuck isn't mentioned anywhere in the manual or the item description. Uses: *Drills 3in drywall screws without issue. *Enough power to use on wood, plastic or metal with the appropriate drill bit. *Single charged battery can be used to drill over 200 1-5/8 sheetrock screws without any effort and still have enough battery charge to continue using the drill. Pros: *Long lasting charge and quick charging batteries x2. Batteries will typically last for 2 to 3 years under normal use. *NiCAD batteries don't have a memory effect so they can be charged anytime. *18v so enough power for just about all your needs. *Sturdy construction, can be dropped without worries. *Great price for a drill that includes two batteries at a cost of $99. *Great torque for just about any job you throw at it. *Batteries are swappable between other Dewalt power tools.
