Purchased the combo at Costco almost 5 yrs ago. Used them both professionally Just last week the drill began to short out on the rear section Returning both to Costco this week to get refund. But know idk what to buy for $100 Bummer bummer I should just repair the drill and keep using.
I believe they are brushless, but not entirely sure. I haven't had a use for the impact driver yet, but the drill chuck is seems solid to me. The bit holder on the back is a little looser. The bit holder in the chuck is still solid
All drill runs on a permanent magnet, DC motor. The internal motor has spring loaded brushes that push against the commutator and spark when it rotates. Cheaper models, like the Greenworks/Ryobi/Jobmate/Sorny/Konka will overspark as evidenced in your video. Get a brushless drill/driver and impact gun to alleviate your concerns. Incidentally, the 'tightener' is called a 'chuck'. Yours, like every other one on the planet that is under ¾", is keyless. The speed settings are for drilling through wood/metal. Normally for everyday use setting 1 will do you. That's low speed, heavy power. Setting 2 is for drilling through metal when you need high speed. The belt clip is useful for hanging off your pocket (front or back pockets), off of braces on a ladder if you need somewhere rigid to hold a drill if the flat surfaces are full with materials. Really, invest in a Makita or DeWalt. Brushless. You'll probably never need anything else again for around the house use. They're both industrial grade and they're batteries have higher Ah for better performance over the years that you'll need it in a residential setting. Instead of just constantly replacing these Greenworks units. Also, you can purchase parts for the DeWalt and Makita locally at basically every hardware chain store on the planet. Last, but certainly not least, stop using Phillips head screws and switch over to the much better and more awesome Robinson head screws we use up here in Canada. They NEVER strip out on any torque setting.
uberrig This might be a year old comment but Ryobi is also industrial grade and not so cheap. Each Ryobi tool you buy is mostly not very cheap especially if its only bare without charger and battery. Also yes industry grade is better but unless you do heavy work or need a tool everyday at home. There is no need to buy industrial tools
Funny, I only know the speed-setting (I like to use 'gear' for that, as the difference in torque between the settings is huge) to be for either drilling small holes at high speed, (second gear) or (first gear) larger holes where you want to keep the speed down in order to keep your drill from burning/braking (or your workpiece) OR to drive screws. That the thing sparks is normal ;) when you immediately stop the motor by letting go of the trigger, a contact in that trigger will short the motor. But the motor wants to keep it's current flowing as soon as it stops and that current will go somewhere, in this case, causing sparks. I think you mean Robertson srews? I could not find anything under Robinson screws. We do use them here, but mainly to mount plaster-plating.

Are those brushless motor drill and impact driver? Also, how wobble is the drill chuck and driver bit holder after being used a couple times?

Not brushless
Michael Ju ..they are brushless!
No they are not brushless. If they were brushless it wouldn't be throwing Sparks.
I want one
is it reliable ?
+שמעון שמעון so far no reliability issues
Teslavangelist is it chinease brand ?
NO, My chuck was faulty right out of the box. Returning tomorrow. I was very disappointed.
