My dewalt 18v cordless drill trigger is sticking in the on position. The model is a dc 988

In most cases triggers either work or they have to be replaced. There are no repairable parts in them and lubricating them usually results in more dust sticking to them and the plastic breaks down from the lube and the problems get worse. Try blowing any debris out of the trigger with compressed air while working the switch. If that doesn't work, the replacement trigger for your drill is part number 152274-22 and is fairly easy to replace. Shop around on the web for the part as they run $50 to $70 plus shipping.

How do you know if the trigger is bad? getting dc volts to trigger but nothing out when I press it.

It's not unusual for Dewalt triggers to go bad and it appears you have correctly tested the trigger. You can test the motor by wiring it directly to the battery but hold on to it and only give it a short burst of power so it doesn't spin out of the case. Dewalt triggers are fairly easy to find online but shop around, they're not cheap.

My dewalt hammer drill with lithium battery drains battery instantly and is 6 months old

Even though it is only 6 months old, the battery could be faulty here as it seems it is not holding any charge.

Handtools > DRILLS/SCREWDRIVERS

These generally have a 2 year warranty and I'm sure these are well out of warranty. Afraid that they really aren't a repairable item as you'll probably find it will be cheaper to replace them. But call the Customer Service line all the same and they can put you in contact with the Service Centre in your area - 1800 444 224

Dewalt 18 volt compact drill

yes this is normal the spark keeps motor from stalling out by taking away the friction spark by making own spark
the clunk is the drill brake so you dont brake your hand when screw goes in all the way unlike old drills that kept going even when your hand was attached to it
