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.

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.

Thanks I was totally clueless on how to get the bit to fit!😅

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

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

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!

Thank you for such a thorough tutorial on how to use this drill! I had no idea it could do all of that! I might need to go out and get one soon to have at home!

She's a great presenter for this information

l just bought brushless drill and impac driver $179 @ H. Depot, , , included was bat charger and 2 batteries. Oh, & hell of a nice carry bag.

[jameskennedy]

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.

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.

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.

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

Great video! I love my cordless Ryobi tools

[wvudg]

I’m new to using power tools and this is so helpful. Thank you!

[kristymalboeuf]

Subscribed ! Thank you for explaining this tool in a way that makes sense. I would love to see some videos on circular saws and miter saws.

[cherylpage]

Woo hoo! I finally know how this works and I don’t have to wait for hubby anymore🤣

[amandarodriguez]

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.

[shmsia]

Great to see a woman showing you how to use a drill. ❤

[jamieleemerrick]

Subscribed! I need all the help I can get. I’ve been trying to figure out where to start and I stumbled upon this video….this will def be my first tool!
