Ryobi breakdown!!

[@ensom]

always appreciate teardown videos that show the inner workings of tools. especially ryobi! at least this can make some use of a tool that died an unfortunate early death.

[@ManCaverTools]

I agree, unfortunately it was submerged in water for a while with the battery attached

[@tullgutten]

Think all the problem may lay innside the trigger

[@CharlesNolanArt]

This is a very clear and informative video. My Ryobi drill is losing torque it makes that stripping sound when driving screws is that fixable?

[@JohnSmith-ox7xc]

Sounds similar to my issue. Seems ok with the 2nd gear, but on the 1st gear setting even on a higher clutch, it's like I've set it to 1 and doesn't have any power.

[@CharlesNolanArt]

@@JohnSmith-ox7xc What can be done?

[@Russkiman96]

@@CharlesNolanArt you would need to open it and look at the gears to see if there is obvious damage. It can either be from the gears not engaging correctly (sometimes crud gets in a gearbox and impares smoth functionality) or from the gears being stripped out from heavy use. I personally have never seen any stripped out gears but i have only fixed dewalts as of right now. Usually the clutch on a drill is only engaged when you are out of drill or hammer mode and if that is what failed you would hear ratcheting in both gear 1 and gear 2. Seeing as you have no power only in gear 1 i dont think that the clutch is your issue but i cant bet 100% since i cant look at it

[@giovannivivar471]

cab you please do a video putting it back together

How do you lubricate a ryobi hammer drill

[@DidzGaming-vz6gi]

Where did the pins or rods as u called them go back? Mine jammed, took it apart, they fell out like they did for u but can’t really see a home for them. I have 6 🙈

[@inoahmann7542]

I do a lot of work in walk in freezers so my tools are covered in water constantly. What do you think would work better a brushless tool or brushed? I'm fine with modifying the tools to make them more water resistant but I'd prefer to have a warranty. I just toasted low gear on my drill so I'm shopping for a new one. I already have ryobi batterys and tools that work great but the cheapest drill ryobi makes seems to be a little too fragile. I'm actually pretty impressed with it all things considered. It took a couple 10 foot falls and it has plenty of torque.

[@ManCaverTools]

Brushless is always better

[@PJSpojken]

I have a R18DDBL that i was trying to use on my 200mm ice augler to drill holes, but when i drill it stops not responding after like 5 sec, it push down good in the ice. Then i have to take out the battery and push it in, but its only working for like 2 sec. I use a heavy duty battery, but i now saw that i dont have the pin on this drill from 2017, so i assume the heavy duty function on the battery dont work. Is there any fix i can do on my ryobi R18DDBL so i can use it and drill holes in ice, or do i have to just buy a new machine ? I read something about that it's overheating, but have no clue. Any help or reply with solutions are grateful.

[@seangreene2522]

has anyone managed to put the gearbox back together? I got used and forgot how it goes back together after washing the parts.

[@ManCaverTools]

sorry, this tool back then was a lost cause. parts went missing

[@seangreene2522]

@@ManCaverTools I did end up finding the right order to do things once i actully sat down and puzzled it out. Sadly though my motor was already on its way out and the dissasembly made it give up the ghoust.

it was left in a wheel barrel and it rained.

So sorry you lost a great tool David. Very informative and interesting to see you take it apart though. Thanks for another great video and Thanks for sharing your thoughts and videos, Rodney

[@ManCaverTools]

Its all good. I got a video from it

[@Matt-nt3gj]

I took mine apart to fix a connection but the gears aren't quite going together again, the motor and front are not able to lock together because of it, any advice?

[@Russkiman96]

Gotta make sure you get the gears back together properly. Maybe see if u can revere whats in this video or just tinker around. If you didnt touch the gears then maybe u got crud inside that can make it not work properly

[@kvernesdotten]

I have one of these, and the only thing i dont like about it is the chuck is really bad and lets go really often. From what i hear its a common thing with this drill. Any tips or fix?

[@ManCaverTools]

I havent had any issues with the chuck yet but I thank you for viewing Kvern

[@macbook802]

The dewalt will fix that issue.

[@Russkiman96]

@@macbook802 funny that you day that. I personally haven't had any issues but when i go to but faulty dewalts there seem to be plenty with chucks not holding bits. Also often get faulty drills where the chuck is locked onto a bit a seems like its broken stuck but its just stuck from corrosion and can be removed with some effort

[@Russkiman96]

*Disclaimer to anyone reading* Dont dip your chick into acetone if its plastic on the outside use alcahol instead. It could be a problem of to much grease in the ratchet of the chuck. I noticed when i get some faulty dewalts they come with locked up chucks holding bits in them this usually happens when the drills have had moisture exposure and have super mild corosion in the chucks due to lack of grease. So maybe if you get rid of factory grease it may make it lock up better. You can try to run the chuck through a degreaser to wash extra grease out of it like isopropyl alcahol or acetone or something of that nature and substance (old paint removers used acetone). You may want glasses for this process since when you rev the drill up you may get alcahol or acetone drops flying everywhere. Basically get a container full of one of the liquids where you can get your drill chuck fully submerged then get your chuck either fully open or fully closed and submerge it in the liquid. pull it out after 30 secs or so and run it in and out a few times then leave it in the opposite position of where you initially had it during submersion. Rinse and repeat 5-10 times and see if that helped you

[@kvernesdotten]

@@Russkiman96 These come like this from factory tho, and since the later models after this does not have the same issue im just going to assume its a design flaw that has been fixed.

[@tony5006]

David, you could do me a huge favour. I live in the UK and I sometimes purchase Ryobi tools. Please could you post a picture of the power rating sticker on the back of the P3320 shop fan. I have bought on line a voltage converter rated at 200W and I need to know the wattage of the fan running at 110V. Then I can get an extension lead next time I'm in the US so I can use it powered from the wall socket.Thank you,Tony.

[@ManCaverTools]

I can sir. sorry for the late delay

[@Korly-and-dad]

All that and you never got the clutch off the one thing I needed to know ...the hard part

[@KapilDevMishra]

you can't repair, but its good simple design! what is parameter for "good simple design", similar issue on P508 circular saw

[@mr.e.484]

#42. I have been using this drill for awhile now. I just recently noticed that the entire front end 'chuck/gearbox' can move up and down. have you had, seen or heard of this issue? Thanks.

[@ManCaverTools]

is has a little movement for the hammer feature

[@allaboutvisual]

Yes, mine doesn't have the hammering feature but the entire front part also move up and down, I'm contacting Ryobi to find out what's going on.

[@dondiego124]

Get a secret hat cam, put all the bits in a home depot bag and take it back, just to see the look on the lady's face when you try to return it, that'd be a great vid.

[@ManCaverTools]

lol

[@theanhnguyen4324]

Can you make a reassembly video? please

[@86dieselman]

What kind of plastic was it made out of? Polyamide with glass fiber 30% I hope. Next time please scrape the clam shell with a knife to check for glass fiber.

[@ManCaverTools]

Yes sir and I thank you for feedback I will make my tool tear downs more detailed :)

[@thxmateoli]

Are ryobi batteries water proof?

[@ManCaverTools]

no lol

[@macbook802]

Yes as long as you keep them away from water

[@bluemantom77]

Wow that's a mess that Ryobi Hammer drill use some non conductive lube to help stop corrosion and with Chuck it's right to unscrew the Chuck retainering screw left to tighten it I have changed alot of Chuck's for people I know and myself
