## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to use this in europe and i would need a compatible 220v charger? is there something from the producer itself? how can i use this with 220v?**
A: I bought this tool for use in Hong Kong with 240v.  I bought the DCB118 fast charger from the UK along with a FlexVolt battery (DCB606) and they work perfectly with the DCD996B (and my DCF887B).  It is worth noting that shipping of Li-ion batteries is now restricted internationally based on a number of factors including watt-hours and if the battery is being shipped on it's own or with equipment.  I had to return a combo kit as my US trans-shipper would not ship Li-ion batteries with equipment and gave me no option to split the package and ship the batteries separately (conversely, they shipped the larger FlexVolt battery (54V) with charger from the UK without issue).Compatible chargers include DCB102, DCB118, DCB132, and DCB1800B.If you are going to buy the DCD996 (or other 20V MAX tool), then in my experience, just buy the bare tool and then source the battery and charger locally.

**Q: Is there a way to remove the chuck?**
A: I think now the chucks are pressed onto a shaft.  They are a lot harder to remove than they used to be.

**Q: Is there a light that shines when the trigger is pulled?**
A: The one I received does have a light on it.

**Q: Should the battery be loose on the grip? It rattles it's so loose...**
A: I have 5 drills and 12 batterys, they all are lose. I suspect this becase they operate under the bits and are covered with all material drilled; it had yo be lose enough to fall free with out binding the battery.
They all work great. Batt life is most affected by leaving on the charger, remove once charged.
