Ryobi cordless nailers

If you already have the Ryobi battery system it probably would be fine for a homeowner. I have a few Ryobi products and I have had zero problems with them. I prefer Ridgid but some tools they only have in Ryobi. I get an adapter so I can use my Ridgid batteries with my Ryobi tools.

Also if you want to buy them a little cheaper you can visit a Direct tools factory outlet or buy online from them.

Do you own a portable, tanked air compressor? Are you invested in any cordless tool systems already? I ask because if you already have something like a small pancake compressor then go with pneumatic because they are lighter, cheaper, and generally more powerful. If you already have Ryobi tools then certainly go with one of theirs, but for most trim work you'll probably want 18ga and 16- or 15-ga brad nailers. I have a Paslode gas/cordless 16ga trim gun, Milwaukee M18 18ga brad nailer, Dewalt 20V 23ga pin nailer, and the rest are Hitachi pneumatics (30-degree framing, 18ga crown stapler, 18ga brad nailer, 15ga finish nailer). If I am running anything more than a modest sized room of trim I'm getting out the pneumatic tools. Simply faster, lighter, and produce better results.

I use Ryobi 18ga and 23 ga. they're ok buy Milwaukee products are better.

Has anyone in the history of tools ever argued differently?

The ryobi battery nailers for their price point for a homeowner that just needs occasional use, like installing a door or redoing a bathroom trim…are fantastic. It’s a hell of a lot easier to just grab the battery trim nailer then get the compressor and everything else.

I really don’t understand the think hate, it’s one step above Harbor freight but there’s a ton of options and for someone that rarely needs them or just minor hobby work they are great for the price.

Stick with one battery
