Description
Overview:
The Gearcase for DeWalt DCD796 and DCD797 Cordless Drill is the front metal housing that encloses and supports the drill's transmission and gear train. Built from hard‐wearing materials to handle impact and heat, it keeps gears aligned and protected so the drill runs smoothly under load. This genuine DeWalt part (OEM No. N438745) restores correct fit and balance on the tool, helping reduce noise, vibration, and premature wear. It is designed specifically for DeWalt's compact brushless drills used on site and in the workshop, and is suitable for routine repairs or full refurbishments where the original casing has cracked, stripped threads, or damaged mounting points. A precise, model‐specific fit means reliable sealing and straightforward reassembly.
