Just keep a dental pic next to the 10mm allen so you can excavate the center when it packs full of clay and stone dust.

I have the Ryobi One Plus set....had it about 4-ish years. For what I do it is ok....but one of the batteries died like 3 months after I bought everything and we were in the middle of selling our house etc so I never exchanged it or sent it in. So tonight I was bored and thought maybe I could fix it somehow. I mean, how hard could fixing a battery that hasn't worked in 3.5 years be?
I found this link and followed it....battery is charging and I took it out and put it in the flashlight....and it worked.
Then it stopped and then it started again. We will see if this will be a permanent fix.

sleepy, sometimes the printed circuits have cracks and work till they are warm. expansion opens the circuit and it works again when cooled. HTH

Thanks. It fully charged lAs night in about 30-40 minutes which is typical for these....I took it off the charger and it worked fine....worked again this morning. Hopefully it is good!
Bad news is that in my OCD to fix it I forgot about the Ryobi impact wrench sitting in my online cart and when I got back to it they were sold out again.

I already have a couple impact guns, so when I went looking for a cordless impact big torque numbers was not on the list. I bought a Kobalt 24 volt variable speed with a 1/4" removeable chuck rather than a 3/8 or 1/2" drive. It pulls lug nuts with no issue. Once in a while I come across a bolt it will not move, that tells me I need a breaker bar/cheater with slow pressure instead.
So far no issues with it.

I was talking to my wife about the different cordless impacts about what she thought would be a good buy she used to be a Return to Merchant clerk at Lowes which handles all of the vendor communications for warranty work and to get the store credit on customer returns for defective products. She said when it came to cordless tools at Lowes Dewalt had an awesome service center and would do alot to help you out even the regular customers and the only time they were returned was really due to people using the tools outside of normal use. Kobalt was also good but had some battery issues most of the time and once again normally returned due to abuse. She did say Kobalt was mad in China and Kobalt would just destroy them in lieu of repair to where Dewalt would attempt to repair before trashing it. So Kobalt carries a 5 year warranty with basically no questions asked and free replacement on the bare tools and the battery I think was 3 years no questions asked. (If you complain enough at Lowes they will replace anything though) Dewalt has a 3 year service warranty and is made in the USA on tool and battery. So Based on conversation with her both are excellent tools Dewalt is probably more reliable but Kobalt has a better warranty program but is pretty close in reliability to Dewalt. Stay away from Black and Decker and Stanley they are cheap. Milwaukee is good but puts up a fight sometimes with warranty stuff but barely ever returned.

Thanks, Stan. Good to know a pro can use that and be fine. My only issue with the 1/4" chuck tools is I have broken a couple of the 1/4" to 3/8" adapters - but I was probably mis-using them
Batteries for the Kobalt are now $20 everyday - I guess that was their answer to people having issues with them . . .

Tools are very personal, in that not all tools will feel right, perform as expected etc etc the same for everyone. This is even more true once you have used a specific tool for a while and then replace it with something different for one reason or another.
Another thing to keep in mind is that much like vehicles, gear heads often are brand loyal, to the death. They will also deluge you with all the "known" reasons why their tool choice is the best. When I was young (16) I noticed that the owner of the best garage around had all Craftsman hand tools. I asked him why the preference. His answer was that was what he started with and he never had real issues with tools if properly used. He also said, "yes there are other wrenches out there that are easy to wipe down but these feel like an extension of my hand"

Really not sure what the five things in lower right corner are for either?
Those are the bullets it shoots out. I saw a facebook post about someone finding some in a parking lot somewhere

So as a follow up to my diff plugs. I read on Mud that I needed a 24mm socket. Got one and after 3 days decided it was too big. Went to get a 23mm today.....too small. So measured the bolt and decided it was a standard size 15/16th. That was it. Once I had the correct size and the breaker bar...it was pretty easy. I also decided that the oil in the front and rear diffs were fine. Oil looked New so I went ahead and replaced the plugs with the new hex plugs, topped the oil off and called it a day. I need to check the transfer case but I was sick of lying on the floor and had too much oil on my hands to check Mud to see where the drain/fill plug was for it.
