Ryobi P235: Drill comes to a slow stop rather than a quick stop

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 00:02:41 -0700

Hello!

My brother has this impact and when he pulls the trigger it works fine, it’s when he lets off the trigger when it comes to a slow stop rather than a quick stop, is this a trigger issue? I don’t have that impact to compare it to.

Driver: Trigger not triggering impact driver - how to diagnose/fix?

Fri, 29 Apr 2022 05:55:52 -0700

My erbauer impact driver started having intermittent problems where the trigger would t trigger the driver. This has gradually got worse, no it never works.

it’s not the battery, that works in the drill fine.

I’ve squirted contact cleaner in it, no joy.

you can see the problem in the video, you can see how the contact light flickers, it’s like there isn’t enough contact to get the thing going.

im not knowledgable enough to know what this means or how to diagnose it further.

Anyone any ideas?
