The screw on my drill came out and I spent 30 minutes turning it clockwise until I watched your video. Thanks.

I have an almost identical model to the first you demonstrated on. It had a stuck chuck so I followed your steps and it worked perfectly to unbind it. I'd looked at a few other videos and they were useless - basically hold really tight or use an adjustable wrench - not good for hands or the drill. Regardless, it's working again so back to work. Thank you.

Enjoyed the video. That explains why I could not remove the chuck. Well done!

Hi thanx for the vid. I had the same problem and only watched your video. I did not unscrew the chuck at all. I poured Q20 in the opening and let the chuck stand upright for five days. Low and behold the chuck unlocked.

I just watched, learned and ordered a new replacement chuck for my old as heck 18V Ryobi P211 1/2" hammer drill. Blue and Yellow Color Scheme mind you! LOL But I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video for us out here in WTF is wrong with my tool Land.

Got a new Ryobi hammer drill..Stop drillingand the chuck keeps spinning and the bit flls out..Now using a 4" cutting off grinder to replace the chuck

Thanks video was getting ready to chuck it ...dumpster dived found full set saw.. vacuum...flashlight n drill..so I'll make investment in a new chuck...thanks again video

Clutch!!!!!!! This saved me money. Love this. Thanks for the vid

I have had 3 of these drills & I really work them hard, so much so that my second one went up in flames, I have even melted the links between the battery cells. Anyway I saved the chuck from that one & presently trying to remove the chuck from my 3rd one, no luck so far even with a hand impact driver. Lol, Just sayin

Great vid thank you. Can you change from a keyless chuck to a quick connect chuck on a Ryobi drill?

Thank you, and amazed the replacement is only $9.

Hi! Great video. What is the name of the small bearing size piece that sat inside that 1/2’ chuck? (The piece required to lock screws inside)

im doing this since im putting a keyed chuck on it (easier to tighten the chuck) and have found one that will fit

Thank you great video 👍

It should be torqued down and have thread lock applied, so it will take a fair amount of pressure to break it loose. That's normal.

Thank you! Good stuff!!

I have the ryobi p252 drill and it doesn’t have the screw in the center of the chuck and I can’t figure out how to remove it. Any advice about how to get that chuck off.

Can you do the p237 impact? My entire chuck assembly came off.

I masterclass in spreading a video as much as possible

My P202 had a gearbox fail, locked up internally. The retain screw on the chuck has so far resisted my attempts to get it out (And yes, I know it is a left hand thread), and my screwdriver keeps slipping out of the bolt head (drill was original store bought). A buddy of mine has a jammed chuck, and I hoped to give it to him. I'll keep at it, maybe with a larger screwdriver.

I have a ryobi drill P201 and has a big clunk when one let’s go of trigger. Any guesses

good to know you're ok

Hello! I have a Ryobi R18DD2, and by mistake I read the DD3 description and tought I could use 13mm....but in fact the max is 10mm. Is there any adaptator somewhere I could buy? Or can I change the Drill Chuck and put a bigger one without messing everything up ? Thank you !

I bought mine on ebay.. The screw that holds the chuck on is MIA but the chuck won't budge. I'm guessing the previous owners tried to change and decided it would be easier to sell it. I'd appreciate any advice anyone has. I'm frustrated and about to do some stuff to this drill I'm sure I'm going to regret :)

thanks mr.. Ya need a 4wd, torch, loctite god, & a machine shop to get this one out.. yep did L. hand thread thing, Just bought a new dewalt yesterday, on sale! 99$ with 2 batteries and charger.

I don't know if anyone else has this issue. The outer grip of Ryobi chuck's are too smooth for me, when I tighten by hand there is hardly any grip, sometimes I get almost a burn on my hands as it slips when tightening. Many times I have larger bits falling out of the chuck because I cant tighten down too well.

thank you

Where are parts generally available? For example, does Home Depot or Lowe's stock the parts to repair the tools they sell? Or am I "stuck" buying online from Amazon or some similar place? Thanks.

Hi I have a similar Ryobi yellow drill. There is too much float at the end of the chuck (i.e. I cant drill smnall holes accurately). Any idea if I can tighten the shaft bearings to reduce the float? Cheers!

I have the p215 and got the screw out but cant get the chuck off any help would be great

I have an old blue and orange Ryobi 1/2" ONE+ drill and a new 3/8". Both original chucks are junk. Screw driving bits with hex shanks slide into them and drill bits will spin unless I carefully use a couple of pairs of channel-lock plies to really crank them down. I have brad new Jacobs 3/8" and 1/2" keyless chucks. I have a Skil corded 1/2" drill I put one of these on because its original keyed chuck was a garbage one that never would grip, not even using the key in all three holes and a box end wrench for extra force. The Jacobs keyless just takes normal hand power until it clicks twice. NEVER EVER SLIPS!!! I want to put these chucks on my Ryobi drills but after removing the left hand threaded screws, and using the longest hex wrenches I have, hitting them so hard I fear of breaking the gearboxes, they will not unscrew. The chuck on my Skil drill and some others I've changed chucks on were no problem. A couple of hard whacks and they popped loose.

i gave my neighbour ROYBI drill ..the chuck comes out. The allen key you used...well its broke inside.. the screw is inside and head broken off. How do fix?

What do I do if I cant lock the allen wrench down?

My Ryobi P252 doesn't have a screw inside the chuck,it has the 1/4" bit holder,I don't really like the chuck and would like to replace it,I'm just wondering if it just unscrews????

I used the Remington 870 to get the chuck unstuck. Goin to switch to Dewalt.

I have the brushless model basically the same thing but that screw inside broke off and fell out. So now what? Am I screwed? Pardon the pun.

I had to soak mine in brake fluid, put a 10 mm hex socket in the chuck, hit it with my 1/2" impact to finally get the chuck off!

My P252 doesn't have a screw and the chuck will NOT come off. I've hit the allen key with a hammer once really hard, but I'm afraid of breaking it. Any other tips?

Genius. I should have been more careful when using my drill to hold things against my sanding disk. That plastic end that holds the self-locking mechanism wore away over the years and then completely let go. Chuck is fine but no way I can make a new plastic piece.

👏👏👏

So what do I do if it wouldn't unlock

I have the Ryobi P252 and I see no screw. 🤔

So what happens when chcck just dont slip right off,lol,sort of happens on old ones!!!😂😂😂😂

could not budge the screw on mine ....

new chuck sounds preety dry actually...

cant open or close chuck

sorry but a p252 does not have that screw

the wurst chuck there ever , keeps loosening can never get it tight enough totally bad idea

The p252 drill does not have the screw holding it on so this method isn't correct for it

Nope dont work😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 froze on!,,,

I have the Ryobi 18 volt brushless 1/2 inch hammer drill what is the lock unlock at the base of the chuck for??
