Poor explantation of how to use this tool!!!! Please do better because I'm about ready to throw it in the bin!!! 🤬

[alancruickshank]

Cant get anything into the collet! Watched the videos, read the instructions. Read the reviews. This is ridiculous...im no fool but i cant work it out and it seems im not alone! Back to the store for something simple

[mgtowbrony]

This “quick change” collet sure makes for a lot more extra EFFIN work! 🤨 The main rotary tool and bits are GREAT! 😁👍 Can I purchase a chuck and normal collet for this RRT200????

[UntoldRoad]

This tool has motivated me to go out & create a better one. They sell hundreds of thousands of these & cannot make a simpler design? Beyond that? They can’t offer a better video despite thousands of complaints across YouTube, Reddit & other platforms?

The bit would not go in, straight out of the packaging. I have watched the video and read the fix solution offered below. It still does not work. This is the second RYOBI that I've brought home today with the same issue with the Qucik Change Collet.

Read reviews of the quick change collet before you buy. Many problems with this collet. The quick change collet is in my opinion a gimmick and an answer to a problem that doesn't exist. Ryobi should, at the very least, include the standard collet to give users a choice.

If you have issues with the quick change collet, just replace it with the standard collet. The standard collet will easily fit on this tool.

Returning it, the bit lock would not work....bad design

[TheFlagInspector]

This is the worse rotary tool chuck ever. This is my second one and i still can't get a bit in the collet.

[amberele]

@ryobi I just opened the package & can’t put a bit in at all. 😢

[shawncook]

I can't get the bit to stay in the tool. First time used to cut drywall and the bit kept coming out. Won't cut a straight line, and chewed the heck out of my Electrical box. Waste of money, ended up just using my multi tool and put this on the dust collecting shelf...

[mariaclaudiaquinones]

For so many bad comments with the same frustrating problem at the moment you are installing the tools … there is a problem with the manufacture and video explanation haha

[jslllppspp]

Mine is stuck in it.. wont come out even with a lineman

[SepherStar]

Yeah this isn't working how you guys at Ryobi think it does. New out of the box I could not get an attachment in because the collet was closed. Trying to open it in the traditional manner did not work. After using that wrench tool that was provided, the assembly came off with the collet stuck in it. After using the tip of a bit I managed to poke the collet enough times to get it open but then it wouldn't close. I had to use some combination of the wrench and traditional method to get it to close. I have to use this random combination every single time I have to change the bit and the collet is still stuck in the housing. I regret not buying the Dremel that has a far more straight forward mechanism and now I have to go all the way back to Home Depot when I am short on time as it is. With all of thr complaints about this mechanism it's kind of mind boggling that it has not been fixed by now.

Update: Decided to give you guys the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe it was a one off bad unit so I exchanged it. The second one was worse. I had to use an assortment of tools to get a bit in it and the collet on this one is also stuck in the collet nut. I wanted to like this tool but this "tool-less quick change" feature is neither tool-less nor quick. It seems your company should be aware of this issue by now and yet keep selling units knowing they are essentially defective and do not live up to the claims of a tool-less quick bit change that your company makes. I'm returning this and paying the extra few bucks for a Dremel and will avoid your brand in the future.

Ryobi trying to reinvent the wheel and ended up making a square that doesn't roll.

[jennciavarella]

I have my bit stuck. First one I put in. I have taken the collet off. I have tapped it (with collet on and off). I've hit it with a rubber mallet. I'm out of ideas. How do I get this off?

[VT_Writer]

Yeah I’ve had excellent luck with Ryobi and I even bought the more expensive version of this and the collar stopped working with the first tool locked on. Very disappointed.

[CorgiDaddy]

I like this handy tool and this video explained something that I wasn't aware of with the outer colet. Thanks!

[PrincessJazmina]

I need this tool to add to my arsenal!!

[TonB-gfte]

The quick change Collett is poorly designed. A secondary collett comes with the kit that is much more simple and should have been the original. Save yourself the headache and use the second collett

[robertmunguia]

Are dremel accessories able to fit on there?
