How to Use a Drill/Driver | RYOBI Tools 101

[@hottroddinn]

Absolutely new to power tools and I was struggling to understand how to put the screw bit in since the first metal disk was spinning on its own and nothing was happening. The chuck's screw was a little tight and I didn't want to damage it. Thanks for making this video. It helped me out quite a bit. It'll also be good to add these basic instructions to the user manual.

[@debbiebrowderkrizanovic5095]

Thank you for the video. Cute little drill😊

[@BWillalldayerrday]

As a fellow newcomer, I encountered the exact same confusion as you did. Glad this video showed how to do it, and I agree that the user manual should make this clear. The way the lock/unlock metal disk is labeled and moves makes it seem like you turn that metal disk itself to lock and unlock the chuck or the trigger.

[@margiedotson5001]

I had no idea that the drills had a clutch! Thank you so much for this video on all the aspects of this drill!

[@chrisqueen3118]

I had this drill on hold at HD. It, unfortunately, had been opened and, maybe, returned. IDK, but the instructions were missing. This video is just what I needed, although I may have to watch it a few more times. (Drills have a clutch❓️) I'm so glad that it was easy to find online and appreciate this confidence building video. This is just the latest Ryobi to join my tool collection and probably won't be the last.

[@christinaburke8439]

I have so many projects that I want to tackle but am intimidated by power tools. This video is great for beginners. Thank you!!

[@bigfish3428]

"Intimidated by power tools" 😂

[@Madebyshannonevans]

@@bigfish3428 So many people just don't have that confidence, but it's a real thing I hear all day, everyday. We are going to change that with all the tool using encouragement we can give each other here! :) Cheers!

[@bigfish3428]

​@@Madebyshannonevans I anthropomorphized power tools and imagined they bullied this poor woman. Made me laugh.

[@rachel18809]

I'm also intimidated by power tools, My adult son won't let me use his electric jigsaw bc he thinks that I will saw something off lol. Now ever since he said that I have had less confidence. I bought a hand saw and a drill. I think that I can do less damage to myself with a drill if something happens.

Good intro video - specifically, I like that you have three different models displayed of the drill. I found a user created how-to video and they were like "there's a switch at the top to go into screwdriver mode" and no, my particular model did not have that switch. However, this video explained that it was simply combined with the clutch in the model that I have, so it doesn't matter. And it also explained that the harder materials will need the higher number. Thank you!

[@ehindolapeter6705]

Got this today for my new condo DIY renovation. This video helped secure the screw bit. Really fine to use. I had bought a different Ryobi drill though and had to return it because i couldn't secure bits in it. At one time onenof the screw got stucked inside.

Excellent presentation

[@joellyneham1987]

Thanks for this video. I’m not sure it quite lives up to its title of ‘how to use a drill/driver 101’ though. It’s more a solid overview of the features. If you ever wanted to take it to another level, I’d suggest splicing in some footage at a couple of points, or at the end (‘now let’s see a few of these features in action’). For example someone adjusting the clutch and showing the difference with some screws. I wish I knew how to use that better, I’m a total amateur.

Why dont you have visuals on your manuals? The packet has 3 pages on what NOT to do but zero information on how to use it effectively.

[@amandarodriguez997]

This was nice. A quick How To video. :) I always forget what those parts are because I don't us my tools often so it's nice to have a quick reminder instead of looking for and pulling out the manual. :) Thank you. I'd like to see one for the smaller driver next. That guy can punch! I don't know if I'm using it correctly. Thanks.

[@mortgagebrokermike]

Great video! I love my cordless Ryobi tools

[@jameskennedy673]

Thank you for the great information. The only thing that I don’t do is remove the battery before changing/ installing bits, but I do put the forward/reverse switch in neutral, same thing when I’m finished for the day plus remove the battery. I sure wish wish you had an adapter to use a 18V lithium battery in a 14.4V Ryobi cordless drill.

[@Grinchnot1]

You are such a great speaker on this! You make it easy to understand and it’s very thorough and detailed! You can tell the hard work that went into this professional video too! As many times as I have used my drills, none have the powered numbers which would really be useful. I wish mine had that! Maybe it’s time for a new drill!

[@TheFlowertender]

[@bobbystewart2605]

@@sylviahartless7229if u r referring the the driver bit that comes with the drill, it goes in the chuck and u can use it to drive screws in what ever material u want, usually. Just have to make sure the screw head and the bit work with each other.

[@pamelawright4980]

As a newbie it would have been nice to explain the setting of the numbers better. But I did learn so there’s that

[@marycoffee7366]

How do you know when you have the correct drill bit for the project?

[@Madebyshannonevans]

There are a few factors to consider. What is the hole being drilled for? If you are drilling a hole as a "pilot" for your fastener or screw to be guided so you don't "crack" or "split" your matrial, go slightly smaller than the diameter of your screw. If your drill bit creates a hole that is too big, the screw can't grip the walls of the material inside for the hold to be effective. If you are drilling a hole for an anchor in a wall, your anchor kit should tell you the size, but start small if you are unsure as you can always drill a bigger hole, but can't ever make a hole smaller! Does that help?

[@CarloHerrmann]

Thanks Shannon … very helpful

I feel comfortable with power tools, but I never understood the different settings and how I could/should control the torque- I just pushed the button and held on! This is so helpful!! I’d like to see some on sanders!

[@Madebyshannonevans]

So many of us didn't know there were so many ways to "adjust" the tool to make it really work the best for our projects, right? I love knowing it has so many capabilities in one tool! Who knew you could set it to just drill a hole? Gosh, that makes soooo much more sense, right?

[@QuickbooksOnlineOutwest]

[@laniandbogie]

I have a Roybi 12V compact drill and want to use it to drill holes on the bottom of a sturdy plastic litter box to make a pine pellet sifting tray. I have watched several KZbin videos on this DIY project and they suggest a 1/4" drill bit. There are two different types in my accessory box. Do I use the long bit with a sharp point (which seems logical) or the one with a straight tip? Thanks a bunch! Lani

[@RYOBITOOLSUSA]

Hi, Lani! For drilling holes, we recommend the spiral bit with the sharp point! You'd be correct!

Why would you not show the numbers on the clutch and the drilling icon while explaining what the drilling icon is for? I mean...LOL! Showing and pointing at the drill would make for a more efficient and helpful tutorial. You are working with the public. You shouldn't assume we know what you are referring to. Not all customers are professional or already know the part of a drill, hence, why we are on youtube looking for how to use a drill.
