                  Game changer
                  Lemme just say I’m already a Ridgid tool fan boy, so when it came time for me to buy a brad nailer, it was not a hard decision which brand I would go with. I already have 8 or 9 other Ridgid cordless tools. This thing is an absolute game changer when it comes to securing projects using wood. Some wood glue and a few strategically placed nails and pieces are super secure and sturdy. This nailer takes a job that would’ve taken hours for each box and cut it down to about 15 minutes(maybe) once all the pieces were cut to size. All of my Ridgid 18v tools have been absolutely game changing. Thank you Ridgid

                    Bag
                    Description says bag included, wish the bag would fit the nail gun not the batteries ads, kind of deceiving. Sure would’ve been nice to be able to keep the batteries and the nail gun in the same bag.

                      Not doing what is supposed to
                      I really liked the convenience of having all my tools with the same battery, unfortunately this nailer somewhat worked for a couple of months and I've been having trouble with the gun for a few months now, turns out I never registered this tool so I can't send it back to get it worked on under the lsa. I purchased this tool in April 2025, now is February 2026 and the tool don't even shoot the nails half way. I own two other brad nailers that do a better job than this one. And the sad part is that they were even cheaper than the Ridgid one..

                        I’ve been very happy with this Ridgid brad nailer. It’s powerful, reliable, and drives nails consistently without jamming. The tool feels solid in hand and works great for trim, baseboards, and small woodworking projects. Battery life is excellent and it saves a lot of time compared to using a compressor. Definitely a great addition to my tools.

                          It works; but may need to loosen set screws
                          Out of the box, they didn't work. I started to agree with the 1-star reviews that all noted they'd fire and then misfire repeatedly. Service dept. didn't fix it. Then I discovered that if you loosen the two Allen set screws near the tip just a half turn or so, they work fine. See picture for the screws to loosen a tad. Don't send it in for service because Ridgid didn't fix it. Works better than dewalts because it fires instantly instead of revving up a moment before firing. Super easy to clear out jams too with the easy release top of the tip. Great design!

                            Comes with 2 batteries, charger and bag…uhhh…the bag is for the batteries and charge and not for the tool. Why in yhe workd would i need a carrying bag for the batteries and charger and not tool?

                              Time saver!
                              Quick and easy to use. Great time saver vs traditional nailing. Put up siding and paneling fairly efficiently. After the first 100 or so nails the gun seemed to have trouble reading the nails, issue was fixed after pulling the nails out and reseating them in place. Pairs well with a 4 ah battery, anything heavier and it may fatigue you. I would recommend the LED light to be raised and leaned forward to provide a better view of exact nailing location.
