This is an original Ryobi replacement part manufactured for use with impact drivers. The switch transfers electricity to the brushes, and can wear out over time. Symptoms of a bad switch are not turning on or off, and not changing speeds or directions. Replacing the switch on an impact driver is straight forward. You start by separating the two housing halves, and removing the motor. Disconnect the brushes, and remove the faulty switch. Then align the new switch, and reconnect the brushes. Be sure to run the wires in a direction to avoid pinching. Then just reconnect the motor, and halves of the housing. This switch is sold individually, the tools required are a screwdriver, and possibly needle nose pliers.
