Neat little die grinder. Caution: Do not push little grey button (spindle stop) while it's running. Switch to off. Push spindle stop. Unscrew weird collet that comes installed that is suppose to be some kind some kind of quick change set up in the trash along with wrench. Find the small diameter collet collar and collet in plastic box. Insert collet in end of hollow shaft. Push spindle stop. Screw collar all the way on. Now back it off a bit. Insert tool and tighten finger tight while pushing spindle button. You're good to go! P.S. There's a holder for the tool head that snaps into the side.

SchnellVerschluss? Hängt ständig. Bin nicht mal zum ausprobieren gekommen.so ein unzuverlässiges Ding will ich nicht.Keine Gebrauchsanweisung in Deutsch. Alles auf Englisch. Das Teil kommt aus Amerika.Viel Spaß beim Rückflug.

This makes using a lot easier than a handheld tool that has the motor in your hand.My wife likes that it’s easier on her thumbs and not as heavy as other models.

Very useful. I purchased a good variety of carving and sanding bits and use this much more often than I thought I would.Carved the flowers on the box.

I was very impressed with the device it works better than what I replaced. It weirdly came in an Amazon box not a Ryobi box but it had all the information booklets and expected pieces.

I will start by addressing the issues that some have mentioned.The collet either not taking a bit or not tightening up on a bit.The collet nut was stuck when I got it and it took a few bit swaps for it to loosen up..What I found is the collet nut at the top is what tightens and loosens the collet. You spin that top nut anti clockwise while holding the lower flange of the collet with some pliers you can get it to loosen up to take a bit. Do the opposite direction to get it to tighten on a bit.Eventually it will get to the point you can open and close it by hand using the knurled part.As for having the option to use thinner shaft bits than what is supplied.I opted to also purchase a drill chuck collet set for a Dremel. This fitted right on the shaft of the Ryobi after I removed the collet nut it came with. Those sets have multiple collets for the different bit shaft thickness.What I really like about the tool:- Came with multiple sample bits.- Barely uses a battery.- Adjustable speed.- Was able to swap the collet nut for a standard Dremel one that could take multiple collets.Negatives:- If you want to use thinner shaft bits you will have to buy a collet set.
