Bit slips out of RYOBI Impact Driver when driving screws

Impact driver bit compatibility and usage tips 

1. Bit compatibility

• Impact drivers are designed to accept only ¼” (6.35 mm) hex shank bits. 
• To insert a bit, push it into the chuck until it clicks into place. 
• To remove the bit, pull back the chuck sleeve—it cannot be removed by simply pulling on the bit. 

2. Preventing bit slippage

• Inspect the bit tip for excessive wear—worn or low-quality bits are more likely to slip. 
• Use the correct bit type and size for the fastener. Refer to the fastener packaging for guidance. 
• Hold the impact driver straight and apply firm pressure to ensure a secure connection between the bit and fastener. 
• When driving screws, apply forward pressure on the screw while gradually increasing pressure on the trigger.
