I want to give Ryobi another chance on drivers - recommendations?
I’ve had a ryobi one+ driver for about 5 years and have mostly stuck with it due to inertia but after endless problems today on a project I’m finally done with the thing.
Problems with the old one have included:
- the quick chuck constantly dropping correctly sized bits during normal use
- correctly sized bits becoming stuck in the chuck and requiring massive force to remove
- underwhelming power when driving any screws bigger than 2”
- rounding out a third of my screws
I’d like to stick with the battery system and generally enjoy the rest of the ryobi tools I have but this thing has been a real PITA. Any recommendations? I want something that can handle fairly heavy projects. Ideally battery compatible with a manual/keyed chuck so I’m not dropping bits outside in the mud/grass/snow all the time.
Edit: This is the PSBID01CN. Currently has an adapter bit that must be welded inside of the chuck because I can’t remove it for love or money.
