ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless AirStrike 21° Framing Nailer Kit with 4.0 Ah Battery and Charger

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it a month ago and I’m really happy with it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this last month when I decided to build a fence for my home. Wow! I was blown away with the power, ease of use and battery life. The multi function is great to punch out a bunch of nails at a time!

This is absolutely an amazing nailer. Wish I bought this last year. I have an air compressor and several air tools. I wanted a framing nailer and decided to go with batteries for convenience, and it is so nice to just insert a battery and start. I have a lot of Ryobi 18v tools and now I have this awesome Ryobi framing nailer. I'm so impressed I may sell my compressor and replace my other nailers with Ryobi 18v. I've been working on repairing and extending a deck. The time savings this framer brings is great. I loaded 3 inch full head nails, can use 2 to 3 1/2 inch nails, but the 3 inch is perfect for 2 boards.. The nail strips slide in easily. They can also be removed easily. My first nail was not flush. I turned the adjuster and by my 3rd nail it perfect. My son-in-law noted, it better be right, cause it's not coming out. There was a need to add some 2 x 4 to the sides of an old joist. No room for a hammer or drill to work, but the nailer fit right in and instantly it was secured. I chose the 30 degree framer because the nails are collated with paper. No cleanup and I just don't like plastic pieces every where. Also the 30 degree gets into tighter spaces. There is a framing hanger and a belt clip that I didn't try. They may be useful, especially when we build the new shed. A few concerns I have. There is no lock or safety switch. If the battery is in, the unit is on. I removed the battery just to be safe. This is the heaviest nailer I own. My guess is that with the battery it's about 2 pounds more than an air framing nailer would be. I had no issues with weight. It's very balanced and easy to handle. It's easy to use, fast, uses my current battery system and if you need a framer this is it.

I haven't ever had the chance to use a nail gun before, but it always seemed like it would be a really useful tool. With a potting/garden bench to build and other projects planned, it seemed like time to finally get one. This thing is nice! I mean, I can't say how it compares to other nail guns, but it definitely worked well for our project, and I'm sure it will continue to do so. We have a lot of Ryobi tools, and the compatible batteries make everything easy. The nail gun is plenty powerful to go through pressure treated 2x4s and deck boards, which is what we were using for this first project. It didn't jam or anything. We didn't have to make any adjustment, but I'm sure they're as easy as the instructions say. It's cordless, so easy to move around and take anywhere. It definitely made our project go much more quickly, and I know we'll get a lot more use out of it.

I ordered the Ryobi One+ HP 18V AirStrike Framing Nailer, because I thought it was time, I modernized by moving away from my old hammer and nails. I already own a large collection of Ryobi 18V tools, so I ordered the tool only version, as I have several battery packs. To my surprise, a battery and charger were included in my box. Never having used a Framing Nailer, I was not sure how to operate it, so I read through the instructions and was quite confused! I had to order nails suitable for this 30-degree Framing Nailer. After I received the nail strips, I thought I was loading the nails correctly, but nothing happened when I tried to nail, so I was forced to re-read the instructions. After several attempts, I finally figured out how to operate this Framing Nailer. It worked great and I felt really powerful. There are many great features to this Framing Nailer that allow for safe and easy operation. I am thrilled with my new Ryobi AirStrike Framing Nailer and definitely do recommend this fine Ryobi product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Buit entire fence with one 4Ah HD battery. Can't wait to use this framing nailer for framing.

This will come in handy next month, when I remodel my bathroom - it has a vaulted ceiling and has an open wall above the door. I am going to drop the ceiling to 9’ and fill in the wall above the door. The RYOBI ONE+HP 30 degree framing nailer is easy to use in both single fire and bump mode with no lag time, just squeeze the trigger and if fires. This has dry-fire lockout, an easy to use depth of drive adjustment and a removable no mar pad on the toe-nailing claw which can be stored on the nail magazine. There is no illumination light, but it does have an indicator LED – solid green in normal use, flashing red when a jam occurs and solid red if battery charge is low. It’s on the heavy side – 9 lbs 9.5 oz for the bare tool and 11.5 lbs with a 4Ah battery and a strip of nails. Its front heavy when using, with pressure on the base of your palm, its odd that the handle lacks rubber over molding in that area. This is easy to set down when not using – the top of the nailer has a flat area – see photo. This also has a built in rafter hook on the right side and a belt clip for the left side. Although this does not use a gas cartridge, there is a compressed air chamber that requires refilling when performance decreases.

This Ryobi ONE+ 18V Brushless Cordless AirStrike 30° Framing Nailer is my first battery powered nail gun. I already own a variety of air guns that need to be connected to a heavy and noisy air compressor. I’m a DIYer and not a professional craftsman using tools every day. There have been times that I could have used a nail gun, but didn’t simply because I didn’t want to mess with the air compressor and hose. That will never happen again. I had a portion of my privacy fence replaced and the installer was using a battery powered nail gun. He said that he would never go back to using an air compressor attached gun again. At the end of a long day, it’s so nice not having to load up an air compressor and hose. Using the recommended 4.0 Ah high performance battery, you should be able to get 750 nails per charge. This gun can be trigger activated or rapid fire activated. The soft tip can be removed revealing spikes that will keep the gun in place while framing. This gun doesn’t use capsules to store the air, but instead comes with an air intake valve that will store up to 125 PSI (see my pictures). The gun also comes with an attached Allen wrench that is needed to access the intake value. I did find the Allen wrench to be rather bulky, and I think a smaller wrench would have been a little easier to maneuver. It would have been nice had Ryobi included a small strand of starter nails, but they did not. If you’re wondering what the difference was between a 21 degree and a 30 degree nail gun (other than the obvious) and I found this description online. “The main differences between 21 degree and 30 degree nailers are how the nails are collated and the common uses for each tool. 21 degree nailers use strips of plastic-collated nails and are commonly used by construction professionals. 30 degree nailers are lighter, more compact, and use strips of paper-collated nails that are ideal for a variety of woodworking projects.”

This RYOBI 30 degree air nailer framer model PB350B is a well designed tool for any tradesman or home owner doing DIY projects.  An 18V brushless motor offers instant nailing without delays due to RYOBI's air strike technology.  It weighs in at 9 lbs with a comfort grip handle.  Other features include dry fire lockout, fastner depth control, a no-mar tip, selectable trigger, single or sequential firing mode.  Uses 30 degree clipped or full head nails with a range of 2-3.5 inches and up to 750 nails per charge.  Include rafter hook, belt hook, hex key, instructions.  Battery and charger may be sold separately.  With the 18V ONE+HP system you dont need multiple batteries as they are interchangeable.  I recommend this tool.  

Worked very well used on fence for our yard
