How to Remove a Drill Bit from a Ryobi Drill?

25/02/2026, 16:59

1. Ensure safety first 

  • Disconnect the battery pack before inserting or removing any drill or driver bit. 
  • If the drill bit was just used, it may be hot, so a cooling period may be required.
     

2. Identify the keyless chuck

  • Ryobi 18V ONE+ drills feature a keyless chuck, which allows for quick and easy bit changes without tools.
     

3. Open the chuck 

  • Hold the drill body securely with one hand. 
  • With your other hand, rotate the keyless chuck anti-clockwise (to the left) to open the jaws wide enough to release the drill bit.
     

4. Remove the drill bit 

  • Drill bits may be sharp, so handle with care. 
  • While still holding the drill body, remove the drill bit from the chuck.
