Ryobi SDS+ Drill - 18V ONE+ HP Cordless Brushless

The brushless motor provides more power, longer runtime per battery charge, and increased durability with a longer motor lifespan compared to traditional brushed motors.

To use standard round shank drill bits, you will need an SDS+ to 3-jaw chuck adapter, which is sold separately.

This drill uses the Ryobi 18V ONE+ battery system. Batteries are sold separately.

Use the mode selector switch located near the chuck. Ensure the tool is not running when changing modes and that the selector is firmly clicked into the desired position.

The drill has a maximum drilling capacity of up to 26mm in concrete.

While capable of light tasks, this SDS+ drill is optimized for heavy-duty drilling in masonry and concrete. For very light tasks, a standard 18V ONE+ drill might be more appropriate, but this SDS+ drill can be used with its variable speed trigger for more control.

Using a 5Ah battery, it can drill up to 164 6x40mm holes into concrete on a single charge. Actual results will vary based on battery capacity, material density, and drilling conditions.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly seated in the tool. Check if the mode selector is firmly in one of the designated positions. If the issue persists, try a different charged battery.

Check battery charge level. Ensure the correct mode is selected for the task. Clean dust from air vents. Check if the drill bit is dull or damaged, and ensure it is properly seated in the chuck. For hammer drilling, verify the bit is an SDS+ type.

Clean the SDS+ chuck and the bit shank. Apply a small amount of SDS+ chuck lubricant. Ensure the bit is oriented correctly for insertion. Rotate the bit slightly during insertion if needed.

Allow the tool to cool down periodically, especially during heavy-duty applications. Ensure air vents are not blocked and clean any accumulated dust. Do not force the tool; let its power do the work.
