Fix chuck wobble on Ryobi CHI-1802 or replace with CRH1801M

[-Paul-]

I have a Ryobi CHI-1802 drill. After a fair bit of use over the years the chuck now has rather a lot of play side to side. When opening the jaws fully there is some sort of adjustment inside which fits a large philips screwdriver, but I am unable to move it. Anyone know how to fix it?

It would be uneconomic to have it sent away to be fixed, so If I cant fix it my thought is to replace it. I've noticed that Ryobi have a 18v sds drill CRH-1801M. Has anyone used it. I presume it would fit the BPL-1820 lithium batteries from the CHI-1802.

Thanks

the screw holds the chuck on

you can buy new chucks
as said above its the securing screw
you have a hammer drill the other one is an sds drill needing sds bits
and yes the old and new batteries and tools are interchangeable with small few exceptions but you are ok

I was looking at the cordless SDS instead of getting another hammer/combi thinking it would be worth it for quicker/less effort drilling walls. I already have sds bits for my Ryobi mains SDS drill, but was thinking with a SDS cordless it might mean having to get the mains one out less often.

No-one tried the Ryobi 18v sds CRH-1801M yet then? Maybe I'll have to be the first to give it a try
