The drill has not been used often and should be like new. The handle and body is very tacky and leaves a stickiness on my hands. The drill has been in a plastic case that came with it when new, along with the battery pack and recharger and some drill bits, etc. Only the drill body and handle are sticky, not the chuck or the battey pack. Any ideas on fixing this problem would be appreciated.
I had the same problem with my Ryobi Cordless Drill. Not only was it sticky, the blue color of the plastic came off on my hands. The denatured alcohol did not do the trick. Liberal amounts of the miracle product Goo Gone cleaned off the stickiness.
I had the same problem with my drill and saw kit. Customer Service from All Trade Tools told me to try using denatured alcohol (Methylated spirits) to clean it, let it dry then rub talcum powder or cornstarch over it. AND IT WORKED!
I had a similar problem with an old Dick Smith cordless screwdriver. I tried many things however the tacky plastic ended up on my hands.
This is what I did to solve the problem.
Now here it is...
Put on some disposable rubber gloves and paint the drill with Instant Estapol. Let it dry overnight then lightly sand. Then estapol it one more time and let dry it overnight.
Seals the plastic, labels and dirt etc if you don't mind the look but no more sticky plastic!

I would try wiping it down with some Goo Gone and see if that helps.

Re: Ryobi P205 special from Home Depot:
Confusing at first, but easy fix:
The chuck is shipped in the UNLOCKED position (and tightly unlocked, too).
I gripped mine w/rubber gloves and turned toward LOCK direction. It freed up with some effort.
But that's the trouble, it is a bit confusing because you would think you need to unlock it, but it's already unlocked.

Most chucks have a tolerance the cordless drills where designed for drill bits 1/8 and larger the 3/8 chucks are a little better with the smaller bits .Check your owners manual and see if they have a min requirement listed for the bit size

If you find that the end of the screw inside the chuck is actually broke then you have a gear problem inside your drill. This is actually a very common problem. Sometimes people push too hard on their drills and the gears inside wear out and break. This prevent the motor from wearing out, but, the gears have to be replaced.
If it is the gears and not the chuck. you broke the minimium of the front gear or gears inside your drill. YOU CANNNOT repair gears. they need to be replaced. you may be able to find some off brand gears to work but, you run the risk that they are not as strong as your original ones, or may not be exactly grooved correctly.
so, if replacing your chuck does not work. find replacement gears. IF you cannot find the gears from the manufacturer see about replacing your drill.
If the chuck is still good, keep it. If you buy the same model, keep your old drill for replacement parts, ie, switch, armature, cord, etc.
hope this helps somewhat.
