Don’t Trash Your 20V Drill Over a Cracked Shell
The 20V MAX* XR Brushless Hammer Drill is one of the most powerful and reliable tools on any job site. But gravity is undefeated. When a drill this heavy takes a dive off a 10-foot ladder onto concrete, the internal components usually survive thanks to the brushless design, but the exterior plastic casing takes the brunt of the impact.
A cracked housing isn’t just cosmetic-it allows conductive concrete dust and moisture to attack the control board, and it makes the handle unsafe to grip under high torque. Our NA013594 Replacement Housing Shell Assembly is the definitive aftermarket solution to save your expensive tool.
Precision Molded for the Brushless Internals
Swapping the guts of a drill into a new shell requires precision. If the screw posts or motor mounts are off by even a millimeter, the drill will vibrate excessively or the gears won’t mesh correctly. This replacement shell is molded with extreme accuracy. Your DCD996’s stator, rotor, trigger switch, and LED module will seat perfectly into their designated channels, ensuring smooth, factory-level operation once reassembled.
Restore Structural Integrity & Airflow
Many users try to fix cracked housings with epoxy or zip ties. This is a fatal mistake for a high-output brushless drill. The housing is designed to channel cooling air directly over the motor and electronics. Taping up cracks disrupts this airflow, leading to overheating and premature motor failure. By installing a fresh NA013594 shell, you restore the proper ventilation geometry and the robust structural rigidity needed when driving large lag bolts or drilling through masonry.

👨🔧 Pro Repair Tip: When transferring the internal components from your broken DCD996 shell to this new one, take a clear photo of the wire routing before removing anything! The thick gauge wires from the battery terminal to the motor MUST be routed exactly as they were from the factory, or they will get pinched when you screw the two halves of the new shell together.

Yes. This premium aftermarket replacement housing (clamshell) is manufactured to the exact factory dimensions to perfectly fit the DeWalt 20V MAX XR brushless hammer drill, specifically the heavy-duty DCD996 model that requires part number NA013594. It is precision-molded to securely hold the massive brushless motor and the complex 3-speed metal gearbox.
While catastrophic drops from ladders or roofs are common, internal torque damage is the hidden killer. The DCD996 generates extreme power. Pushing the drill too hard with large hole saws or auger bits can actually melt or snap the internal plastic mounts that lock the heavy metal gearbox in place. If your drill’s transmission suddenly slips under load or the chuck wobbles violently inside the casing, you need this new housing to restore its structural integrity.
The DCD996 has highly complex internal wiring and mechanical linkages. Crucial Pro Tip: Take extremely clear photos of the delicate wire routing around the bottom electronic control module before removing anything! When transferring parts to this new aftermarket shell, do not forget to move the top 3-speed gear selector switch, the forward/reverse shuttle, and the tiny metal nut for your belt clip. Ensure no wires are sitting on the plastic screw posts before clamping the two halves together, or you will pinch and sever them.
