# The Bit Is Stuck in My Ryobi Cordless Drill
If you are using a Ryobi cordless drill and the bit gets stuck in the chuck, it is like in a bind. This occurs when a drill chuck comes slightly loose when you are using the drill. When this happens, you cannot free the bit as normal by hand or with a drill chuck key. The trick to freeing the stuck bit in a Ryobi cordless drill is to release the tension holding it in place.
