I can't get the chuck to work or open to change the drill bit. I have really tried!
Hi Alice:
Is this a "key"? If so, put it in place with the drill pointing up and the key handle pointing level and towards you. A light tap with a hammer on the key handle should loosen it.
If it is a "manual grip", try putting the drill in reverse, and at low speed. Hold the drill handle with your right hand, and hold the grip firmly (really firmly) with your left hand, and squeeze the trigger. It should release the chuck. If it doesn't, try putting a pipe wrench on the grip.... gun facing away from you, wrench from the top, handle on right. gently tap on the wrench handle should loosen it.
Cheers.

My Ryobi drill stops while drilling
Hello Jim & Karen...
Welcome... (sadly... you have drawn a chatty fixer)...
Other than the (many: Black & Decker, Craftsman, Skilsaw & Melwakee) power tools that have defective cords (easily detected by wiggling the cord around) I have had a couple
where serious detective work was required
... one very used & loved... the other new (both Makita) so I don't PRECISELY know Where that proverbial pop-out part {10' spring: usually) hidden inside of (your Ryobi) all appliances to persecute us amateurs (SPECIFICALLY)... but I am confident you proceed cautiously you can get in & out of your drill... and you will be the better for it (possibly the RYOBI too).
The only guarantee I ever offer... is that if you (carelessly) pop
this tool apart most likely you WILL NOT be able to get it back together again.
Take GOOD USABLE pictures before you start... and as your work progresses... If you have an assistant... put the plug in your POCKET.
I don't (ever) mind having spare parts... and even as an amateur... I have a better batting average than the PROs... and I pass all my savings DIRECTLY back to my OWN pocket.
Most home-owner drills have low hours and are pretty clean...
If this is a WELL USED unit... clean it up with a vac, damp cloth and compressed air before even thinking about opening it.
Also... get some new motor brushes (if available)... and pick up some CRC contact (electrical: see below (around $9)) cleaner before you start. Make sure everything is completely dry before proceeding,

If the unit has low hours... you are (most probably) looking for
bad connection or foreign object.
Good luck & happy hunting!

Ryobi Impact wrench won't release bit
I would spray a little bit of WD-40 while pointing the bit up towards the sky. The fit is very tight and any rust can jam the bit. When the tool is stored properly to prevent rust and used regularly this won't happen. If I'm going to use bit with rust I wire brush it first and then put a drop of oil on it.

My ryobi cordless drill jammed while was drilling thru a board and now it won't run at all.
Do you notice any clicking sound upon depression of the power switch? If no sound or slight movement when you press the switch, you need to check the wirings and the brushes - (if there are brushes)
When the motor attempt to run during the jam, heat can build up and cause internal damage. Wirings and smaller electronic components can get fired during the jam. Check this before you decide to turn it in for professional service.
