Ryobi hammer drill cuts out

SOURCE: hammer drills and rotary hammers comparison

Basically yes. Lower power units are usually titled as "hammer drills." Higher power units, usually labeled "rotary hammers," tend to be larger and provide bigger impact forces. But there are a few differences that are worth knowing: The rotary hammer usually have a chisel only feature, for light chiseling and masonry removal. Rotary hammers also have specially designed chucks that only accept bits specifically designed to fit their chuck. The special chuck on a rotary hammer helps hold the drill bit and prevents it from slipping during use.

look at the back of the brush holder for a tab that the forward/reverse lever locks into, it might be broken not allowing it to shift.

If the unit no longer hammers it may be time for a service pack. (overhaul). You can get overhaul kits at any Bosch Authorized Service Center.

SOURCE: drill stops unexpectedly

I have had 2 of the same drills with the exact same problem. The first one worked for about 10 minutes the first time I used it before it started cutting out. I took it back to Lowes and got bought a new one. The new drill does exactly the same thing. If I charge the battery it will work for a few minutes and then starts working only intermittently. I stuck in the second battery and get the same thing. I was just using it to take some screws out so I wasn't even puting a load on it and only got maybe 10 minutes before it started cutting out.
I would highly recommend staying away from the Hitachi Lithium drills. I will certainly never buy another one.
