NatalieJean Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hi! I'm new to this forum and hoping y'all can help me with my issue. I was given a pre-owned 10pc Ryobi tool set. Awesome, right!? Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the drill and impact driver to work, even tho all the other pieces function. The Ryobi tools are the older blue ones, not the newer green ones. The battery is P102 one+, which doesn't seem original to the set. I feel like this is a battery issue but am perplexed, since all of the other tools work with it. The impact driver is P230 and the drill is SA1802. I realize the drill and driver could be 'bad,' but being that two tools have problems (not just one), it makes me think something beyond a damaged tool is going on. The guy who gave me the tools, was given them by someone else and he never used them, so he has no info for me about why those items don't work. I do have 8 functioning tools, which is great, so I'm not complaining at all. I just wish I could get the drill and driver to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I would look if the battery contacts on the tool are dirty corroded or bent. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 You might also want to call Ryobi some of the old blue drills have a recall related to the switch getting hot and melting. Like most recalls Ryobi will replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 take the tool apart and see if motor wire is connected , they don't solder them and they weegle out of mounting hole .i had this happen on my 1/2 in impact driver and reciprocating saw . good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
