I ordered the Ryobi One+ 16-gauge cordless air strike for some projects around the house. It is still a larger handheld tool, but it is minuscule in comparison to the air compressor/nail gun combo. One of my trim boards became loose so I used it to secure the board back in place. It worked like a charm! This takes up less space as well. It was easy to load and set up.

This is a review of my new RYOBI ONE+ 18V 16-Gauge Cordless AirStrike Finish Nailer (Tool Only). IMPORTANT: The battery and charger are sold separately. I am in the middle of a remodel at my house. I am installing 900+ feet of crown and base molding. I did not want to go thru the pain of setting up the compressor and the hoses and dragging that through-out the house. With my Ryobi AirStrike I don't! No more air compressor or air hoses for me again! The AirStrike 16-gauge nailer will set around 1000 nails on a fully charged battery. The depth of the nail head is easily adjusted with the turn of a knob. Ryobi's 16-gauge nailer can sink up to 2-1/2 in. nails into hardwoods. You can also adjust the air pressure for the different lengths of nails that can be set with this Ryobi nailer. I am installing pine molding; the finish nailer had no problems sinking the 2" nails that I used! The nose is a narrow design that will let you get into the tightest of corners. Also, the nose has a non-mar tip installed and there is an extra tip onboard the nailer. This tool is backed by Ryobi with a 3-Year Warranty. I am very satisfied with my Ryobi AirStrike 16-gauge finish nailer and I am certain that you would be too!

I picked up this 16-gauge finish nailer to go with my growing nailer options for when I need a straight nail at 16 gauge. I also have a 15-gauge angled from a different brand, an 18-gauge that connects to a compressor, and a 30-degree cordless framing nailer from a third brand. Of the 4 nailers I own, this was the most inexpensive cordless nailer (out of 3) at less than 1/2 the price. It is very easy to use and is lighter weight than the other nailers. Straight out of the box it worked great and had no issues shooting 2" test nails through 1-by (3/4") oak and into a pine 2x4. The depth is easy to change and you can change the pneumatic force with a lever on the back of the nail gun, but I didn't need to as it worked great right out of the box. On the less impressive side, this definitely feels less robust in the hand and has more plastic parts than any of my other nailers. The ramp-up time on this nailer is longer than my other two cordless and it does not have a rapid-fire option that compares to the other two. Typically when use a finish nailer rapid nail strikes are not needed, but it is a way to tell a tool that is not quite at the same level as the others. The slower ramp up time is also not a huge deal on a finish nailer, but is noticeable compared to my 15-gauge angled finish nailer. Overall this is a good nail gun and will work for most weekend warriors, DIY enthusiasts, or other non-professionals. At 1/2 the cost it is also a great buy despite its lesser features. If you are already in the Ryobi line of tools or if you are not a professional finish carpenter you should definitely consider this nailer.

This finish nailer works pretty well. I'm not an expert with nailers, so it took a bit of getting used to and dialing it in, but I think the idea is to set the depth of nail that you want using the adjust knob near the nail chamber, then set the air pressure using the slider on the back of the nailer. Once you get the depth you need, you're good to go. The other thing that I had to get used to is that you did have to hold the trigger until it fires. I first tried just a press of the trigger and got nothing. It takes about 1.5-2 seconds to fire the nail in. I love that this is cordless and doesn't need an air hose to trip over. It's not too cumbersome to carry around, but is probably a bit heavier and bulkier than a traditional air nailer. The tool also has an easy access to clear any jams that might occur (though on my test nails, I didn't have any issues).

Just what I needed! I am in the process of remodeling my house to put on the market ,and really needed this Nailer to help with the trim work through out. Works with stick 16 gauge Brad nail sets, easy to load and nice and light weight compared to an air Nailer. Works with the standard 18 volt Ryobi batteries. Comfortable to hold. Will last for a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple of weeks ago. It’s so convenient to use because there are no compressors or hoses. I finished a tongue an groove ceiling in just a couple of hours. Love the Ryobi power tools!
