I was concerned that this would be too heavy and 16 Gauge would be too thick compared to 18 gauge unit and brad nails. This was not a concern once I got this unit and used it, the nailer has weight but it's manageable even upside down (4.2Kg incl 5.0Ah battery) I'm 50+.I've incl. a couple of images, one shows the 16 gauge brad nails in a 9mm hardwood ply, virtually as invisible as 18 gauge, I was worried these would be like real nails, there still thin nails just a little thicker, which is what I need for holding ply to the ceiling. (9mm ply, 32mm 16 gauge brads)Another image shows the 16 gauge brad nails next to 18 gauge, as you can see there's minimal difference in thickness (lengths are 25mm and 32mm I didn't have same lengths around).

I bought this nailer to fix cladding to the workshop I'm building, and I can safely say I've not regretted the decision for a single moment.I'd read other positive reviews of this Ryobi model, but what decided it for me was that it doesn't use gas, which means fewer consumables to buy.I was initially surprised that it doesn't come with a battery or charger, but it's part of Ryobi's One+ range which contains many tools that all share the same battery pack, so it does make sense.I'll also have to buy a tool box for it because it just comes in a cardboard box.As far as performance is concerned, I must have driven hundreds of brads so far and I've only had one mis-fire when a brad jammed,

Ok, so I only buy Milwaukee cordless tools... until now. I've had a Milwaukee brad nailer in my basket for about 2 years now, waiting for a deal, they are around £360 for a bare unit, and have terrible reviews, very unreliable and constantly misfiring and inconsistent depth of nail heads. The Ryobi has excellent reviews and is well under half the price. But I really wanted to stick with Milwaukee batteries, so I ordered the Ryobi brad nailer and a battery adaptor to use with Milwaukee batteries. Well I think it's one of the best tool decisions I ever made, this thing is unbelievably good! Has never misfired, compact size, light enough but feels sturdy. My air nailer is going in the bin.

I am a hobbyist woodworker and use better than DIY but less than trade standard power tools, Ryobi tools generally fall into that category. This tool is extremely expensive in the UK so I took a punt and purchased it from Amazon USA, the whole process was extraordinarily quick and easy and I saved few quid too!The nailer itself is a little weighty but highly portable and relatively easy to manipulate with no pressure line or cords getting in the way, it takes a little practice to get used to the settings in different materials but the knack comes quickly. There's a fair old kick when fired,my dog runs off when it's in use. I haven't experienced one jam yet even when I set it on rapid fire,

Ryobi continue to rise in my estimation.I wanted compressed air firing but without non-eco-friendly fuel cartridges. Ryobi invested this electrically charged compressed air cylinder - a stroke of genius which others are now immitating.I'm impressed with the ease of loading, ease of firing, range of compatible brad nail lengths, number of shots I get from a 4000AHr battery.Occasional nail jams can usually be ejected by releasing the clip on the top of the firing rail. I had to use a screwdriver once to get a stuck nail to move.Behaves a little strangely when down to the last few nails - doesn't like to fire them, perhaps not enough spring tension - have found I can load another clip in to fir the last few from the previous clip.Have used this for 3 months this Summer.

Over the years I have collected a variety of tools to do various jobs and appreciate that a tool is only amazing if you have a need for it. A while back I took the plunge to stick with One+ from Ryobi and have built the collection around this system. I'm not going to write a long specification review as you can read that when comparing gun to gun, but I can tell you it does exactly what you need it to do, effectively, quickly and cleanly. The 2mm head 18g nails sit just below the surface off the wood on the pressure/depth I have set and are already difficult to see given the grain and pattern of the wood. I have used this to install the batten and now the larch on our film + wine room (parents name for it)

I bought this in the USA, much cheaper (nearly half price). It is absolutely brilliant. I bought it to put up some feather edge fencing. I must have nailed over 200 individual strips, 6-8 nails per slat. And not a single failure. Ive used electric nailers and in general they are useless (sent a tacwise one back as it just had no punch). This is close to the performance of gas cartridge nailers or compressor nailers without having cables, airlines etc. It also has never under-driven. Heads have always been sunk properly. I was so impressed i also bought the 18 gauge one to put up architrave. Also brilliant. The comment in another review about this is that it is rubbish and poorly made.

I was apprehensive about buying a battery powered nailer but I needn't have worried as this performed exactly as I'd hoped.I used this to make some shelves, covering 2" CLS timber with 8mm MDF and wanted them to look like a clean, square finish. The brads from this did that job perfectly after a few trials to find the exact power and depth settings I needed - achieved with a very simple dial on the rear and turning handle on the "nose" of the nailer. I was then able to have them perfectly sunk without leaving much of a hole to fill to hide the heads.The tool is easy to refill, with a nice sliding loader that's done in seconds.With regards to powering it, I had read reviews about which battery would be required (some saying 5.0a?!)

Have been doing homework on finish nailers for sometime, love Marita but reviews very poor so that option eliminated pretty quickly. I have experience with paslode but they are expensive with continual gas running costs and their temperamental nature ruled this one out too. Dewalt came very close its gas less design appealed greatly, but the price tag was hard to justify. Then came the ryobi, no gas, excellent reviews, price tag, what wasn’t to love. Then came the issue others were having that although the gun itself at £159 was incredible value the fact you needed the ryobi one battery and charger added another £100 or so to the bill, but I discovered an adaptor that clips in and allows me to use my existing Makita battery’s all for £20.

I previously had a corded *Titan nailer* which I bought because it was fairly cheap. There were 2 main issues with it, you couldn't tell EXACTLY where the nail was firing from which meant if you wanted to do some finer bits of work you'd be in trouble. The other issue was that unless you pressed the nailer hard into the surface you'd always be left the head of nail poking out. In other words it wasn't powerful enough.*NO SUCH ISSUES HERE*Firstly the Ryobi nailer makes it perfectly clear where the nail will fire from, I've tested this several times and get it firing with millimetre precision. Secondly this thing is ridiculously powerful. It drives a max 50mm nail with zero effort which means nails can be below the surface should you need them to be.

I bought this nail gun for odd jobs around the house since lockdown and finally purchased when I wanted to put up panelling in the lounge.I was a little dubious as you can spend a small fortune on nail guns and this seemed pretty reasonable. On unboxing, I was made up with the gun. The unit is extremely well made and feels sturdy and well balanced in the hand. The nails slide in easily and they punch in very nicely with little recoil, exactly what you want from a nail gun.The grip strength is amazing. I've not had to remove one yet but it fixes the panelling in really tight and worked easily with detailed beading work. The nail depth can be adjusted and it works a treat.I use a non-OEM 5 amp battery and it works perfectly well.

Nails are easy to find and the product is simple to use. It has saved time and leaves only a small indent in the wood which is much better than using screws that then need the heads filling.To date the machine has performed faultlessly with good battery life and easy to use features for adjusting the depth and strength of force used to drive the pins.The only down side is the weight of the machine when using it overhead and the fact that it can be difficult to drive pins at the extreme corners of boards where they meet another wall at 90 degrees.Given the choice I would purchase again as the Ryobi R18N18G AirStrike nailer has the same benefits as machines three times the price,

I bought this nailgun because I am restoring some 1970's kitchen cabinets and some handles have worked loose. They were originally attached by brad nails so I've used the same method - there's no way I could have got a panel pin and hammer into the space where the nails were required.Worked like a charm, put the nails in just under the surface and a little filler and paint and you'd never know it had been done.Also been great for securing beadinig/trim around skirting, securing shelves in place, repairing a fence and there's about another 10 jobs I can see where it'll be the perfect tool.Doesn't like the 15mm nails so much, they can sometimes twist in the magazine, but that's an occasional,

I found this cordless nailer very easy to use and fill with the correct size of 'pins'/nails ranging from 10mm to 50mm in length and of approximately 1-2mm thickness which in my opinion is suitable for a vast majority of jobs required despite some of the not so positive reviews about its capabilities. Depending on the application this nailer should be able to cope with affixing decking upto 25mm in thickness using a 40-50mm nail, also shed roof and side panels, fencing and gate work, it has many uses around the house. For stud work however, I would suggest using screws as the main fixing material giving a much stronger bond. Skirting to wooden battens, even picture framing through the sides (not top to bottom),

This nailer can be bought much more cheaply if you shop around even direct from the US is cheaper.In terms of functionality it works really well, it hasn't jammed that often when I've used it as stated by other reviewers, it may be the quality of nails I'm currently using is better? When it does jam its a simple operation with a clip at the front, it is a little stiff and it took a a bit of fettling to loosen it up.The features are easy to use and once set it nails repeatedly without complaint, I've used it on both hardwoods and softwoods and I haven't had an issue, I use it a least twice a week as I'm a hobbyist woodworker, I couldn't comment on its suitability for trade use.
