18V ONE+ 18-Gauge Cordless Airstrike Brad Nailer (Tool Only) P321

I’ve been using the Ryobi R18GN18-0 Nailmaker for a few weeks now on a small home project, and I’m honestly impressed. It feels well-balanced in the hand — not too heavy, but sturdy enough that you know it’s built to last. The grip has a nice texture so it doesn’t slip even if you’ve been working for a while. Performance-wise, it delivers nails smoothly with no jams so far. I really like that it’s cordless (part of the ONE+ system) because it makes it super convenient to move around without dragging a cord or air hose. The trigger is responsive, and the depth adjustment is straightforward, which is great for switching between different types of wood. Noise level is reasonable — obviously not silent, but quieter than I expected for a nail gun. The battery life has been excellent; I was able to get through an entire afternoon of trim work on one charge using a 4.0Ah battery. If I had to nitpick, I’d say it’s not the lightest tool in the shed, so after a long stretch of work you do feel it in your arm. But for the convenience, build quality, and the fact that it’s part of the Ryobi ONE+ lineup (so I can swap batteries with my other tools), it’s totally worth it.

So far this brad nailer is easy to use, and works well! This is my first time using a brad nailer but I think it’s going to be a great tool to have in my workshop. This is a great item for the price!

Works well for baseboard and quarter round installation

This has been a great addition to our collection as always works great and easy to use!! It’s fast and the battery lasts a long time

Does the job for a good price compared to other big name brands. Functions, loads, performs the same. Doesn’t burn through the battery charge quickly at all.

RYOBI does not honor warranties from this seller, West Brand Co - do not buy anything from them. Super disappointed. Worked great for about 20 brads and then stopped - flashing light, sounds like it wants to work (cycles) but doesn't shoot. Fully charged battery, fully loaded magazine with the right size brads, lubed, adjusted depth, etc. and yet nothing. Pulled the front off to find the striker stuck in the wrong position. Moved it back into the correct position. It shot one more brad and now doesn't even cycle - just nothing. Checked online for suggestions. Many posts are about the striker getting jammed, more lubrication, larger battery size needed and apparently it's quite temperamental and needs to be "warm" - I'm using it indoors during the summer months - does it need a heated blankie and a cuddle?! I think this one is going back - the intention of the purchase was to make my process easier, not add another headache. Yep, super disappointed, 'cause I love Ryobi tools.

Good quality gets the job done slight pause before it shoots the nail

The product arrived two days earlier than expected, the product is new and works well. Thanks TheCountryButler, good job. Update april 02: Two days after purchasing it had a problem, it stuck a nail and it froze, the battery had to be removed and it did the same thing again, the solution was to use 3 in 1 oil to lubricate the tab that hits the nails, with that It is working 100% again. Update january 19, 2025: Despite having lubricated the tab of the machine, it would freeze on some occasions, the final solution I found was to add W40 inside of the machine in the tab, for example, you lift the lid to remove the stuck nails and at the end you can see a hole where the tab comes from, there at the bottom, I shot W40 and since then it has worked very well, I have assembled two pieces of furniture very quickly and easily, since I have it I have not put screws in small things or things that do not require much effort. Another important detail, you must keep the trigger pressed until the nail goes in completely, because if you remove it before the machine freezes and the light flashes. I hope this information is useful to you, because it caused me a lot of headaches not knowing this before.

Nailer is heavier than expected. Jammed immediately, so had to wipe the nail driver channel and the nail feeder with lithium grease. Works fine now.

Muy buena herramienta, es lo que esperaba. Tiene para nivelar la profundidad a la que metes en clavo y eso sirve muchísimo.

Leicht zu befüllen, leicht zu bedienen, sehr zuverlässig und mit den Akkus wunderbar mobil. Könnte für manche Anwender etwas schwer sein.

As I have standardized on the Ryobi One 18V system I decided to buy this to complete my setup. Works perfectly, very clear instructions and so far zero mis fires or jams. Seems a high quality brad nailer which is very easy to use
