Customer Reviews for RIDGID Pneumatic 18-Gauge 2-1/8 in. Brad Nailer with CLEAN DRIVE Technology, Tool Bag, and Sample Nails

I came to homedepot thinking of buying the dewalt but when I got to the isle at was none there because They where all up front so i see this one and start looking the reviews all good reviews and the dewalt all bad reviews i love this good choice

I got this a couple months ago and I use it everyday I make box’s and book shelves and all kinds of thing with it

good tool, good price and easy to use.

This nail gun is amazing for its ease of use. Straight out of the box it is ready to go, set the psi to 70-75, load the nails and you are all set. I ran approx 2400 nails through mine on day one without a single hiccup.

This nailer is awesome I have a crappy 1 gal compressor and still I can shoot 2-1/8” nails perfectly every time!

This brad nailer with the ability to adjust depth of drive will suit all needs of securing. The no-mar tip keeps your wood great looking. Great tool for making this military shadow box.

Replacement for my probably 10 year old brad nailer . Never had a Rigid tool before, but seen the warranty and figured couldn't go wrong. Have used it several times in the last month and am extremely happy with it!

Lightweight easy to use and being able to use a variety of nail sizes is a huge bonus

I bought this nailer for putting on new facia boards and so far it has performed perfectly very smooth no jams this is a great product.

Amateur user. Light weight, easy to use. Air line swivel is very nice. Air adjustment was easy to figure out. Overall, I was very impressed how it handled and made the job quick and easy. I definitely will recommend to others. Thank you for such a great piece of equipment for a fair price. It's a do it yourself delight. My son's desk had completely broken in pieces. I was able to reconnect it and add an extra board on the back for added support. As you can see, he's making good use of it as a computer desk once again.

Excelente for stalation door

Drives a clean finish nail leaving little or no mar on the trim. Has nail stop when it runs low to prevent empty-fires that would damage the trim.

Purchased this nailer for a longer nail. Used 2 inch brad nails and the gun performed perfectly out of the box. I couldnt be happier. It is light and fits in my hand comfortable. I can use it for multiple projects.. great buy for the money.

Purchased this Ridgid 18g nailer to replace my Bostitch nailer that failed after only a few years, and the replacement parts were expensive. The Ridgid comes with a lifetime guarantee. Just make sure that you register the tool on the Ridgid website. I used it to fasten firring strips to 2x4's and I was surprised at how quiet the nailer was. Very satisfied so far. Highly recommended.

The Ridgid nailer # is light weight # pounds the nails in effortless I highly recommend this to family ,friends and people seeking a nailer.#my opinion is that this is a good nailer so see for your self!

Excellent purchase for the price and lifetime service warranty. Hasn't failed once.

The 18 gauge brad nailer worked flawlessly. This is the first one that I have owned and only had one double feed. (I'm chalking that up to operator error.) I would recommend this tool.

The Risgid Brad nailer worked perfectly for my small-medium DIY project. It made my job of installing approx 40 sqft of wall board. I would highly recommend the Ridgid brad nailer.

This is a great brad nailer! It's relatively quiet. You can easily load a variety of nail sizes. It has a comfortable grip, even for those who are left-handed. It has a hanger so you can easily attach to your tool belt when you need to free your hands. You can adjust the depth beyond the air compressor settings directly on the nailer when finer adjustments are necessary. There are two modes. 1) Just press the trigger to fire the nail. 2) Contact Activation Mode - hold the trigger and tap the nail in. This allows for quick repetitive nailing without tiring your trigger finger. We appreciated that this nailer came with the air hose attachment already attached. It comes with a sturdy canvas tote which is large enough for storing the nailer and any nails. The nailer was supposed to come with 2 in. nails, but instead came with 1-5/8" nails.

Ridgid Brad nailer 19ga. clean drive takes brad nails from 5/8" to 2 1/8", Once depth is adjusted the clean drive technology works pretty good don't have to worry about heavy indents on fine moulding and having to waste time filling in the indents, Quick change trigger settings from single to sequential firing mode, If tool is registered you get a lifetime service agreement, comes with swivel air hose connector.

I really like this nailer so far and one thing that I enjoy the most is the small nose! I know that sounds like a small detail, but I've had bad experience in the past with other nailers with larger noses and the difficulties of working at different angles. I had another nailer of a different brand that has a larger nose that actually got in the way. In fact, there were many times I tried to nail something overhead at a very awkward angle, finally got it ready to go...took a deep breath..pulled the trigger... and then nothing. :-( BUT with this Ridgid Clean Drive brad nailer I feel like the small nose will allow me to come in at sharper angles and avoid all of those frustrating misfires. I really feel like I am able to pinpoint exactly where I want the brad nail to go with this nailer. Also, another thing that I like is the semi-transparent nailer cover so that I can see how many nails I have left. That's a small detail that the designers didn't have to include but I'm glad they did as it is very helpful to be able to just look down and know. I've only used this with wood so far, but I believe it will handle well with MDF trim and other materials as well. I will update this if I find that not to be the case. Lastly, I am thankful it came with a case! Some tools these days are shipped in a box and then you have to figure out how to store it later. This nailer came with another really cool carrying bag and I'm excited about that.

Having worked with older brad nailers in the past and suffering through jams and bad tips, I wasn't sure what to expect right away with this nailer, but once I shot a couple of test nails with it to set the depth, I was really impressed. I had to install new baseboard and shoe in several rooms and the new nailer is leaps and bounds over the old "yellow" guns that I had in used in the past. First, the new tip size is incredible. Super small and it allows you to get into tight corners and "hide" nails where they wont be seen and it doesn't mar the work-piece. The other thing that I likes was that it came with 2 extra tips mounted on the nailer! The clear magazine cover was great touch as well and made it easy to tell when you needed to grab another strip of brads. Overall it was a great experience and the gun never jammed or misfired, even when I accidentally tripped the trigger while positioning the tip to the work-piece. You wont be disappointed with this nailer.

This brad nailer has great design and performance. This is my second nailer and there is no comparison, this nailer has greater capacity, up to 2 1/8 inch and it does not mar the surface being nailed. It sinks full length brads even in hardwood. It has two modes of operation: single and multiple. In single mode one trigger press is needed for each brad. When in multiple mode and the trigger is held down, one brad is driven each time the nose of the tool is pressed against the work. This makes for improved speed. The nailer has a scale so you can see what length brads are in the tool. It also has a depth adjustment for setting different length brads. It comes with a carrying case. The tool has a swivel hook so it can be stored on a peg in the wall. The air input fitting rotates and swivels 45 degrees so your airline is much less likely to snag.

I used to look on tools for Dewalt, Milwakee and Bosch until I discovered Ridgid power and you cannot bit the life time warranty. This 18-gauge and up to 2-1/8" nailer works as what you can expect from an air nailer. The clean drive technology adds additional benefit and does not leave marks like other nailers i have used in the past. It has multiple adjustment such as depth drive adjustable exhaust and comes with swivel connector and hook. Very happy with this tool.

Thank Yoiu to all staff at the store always very helpful

Bought it a month ago and now it doesn’t shoot out nails. I’m so not happy and what a waste of money. Very unhappy
