jbw55 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 So today I cleaned everything and oiled it back up..seems to work like a charm!! I agree with earlier post by JBW55, a little maintenance a the beginning of a work day isn't too much of a big deal!!I'm big on maintenance anyways so not a big deal..I had jus figured it'd make it a bit longer than it did right out of the box.I'd feel confident to recommend this nailer to anyone that believes on proper maintenance!!!Great to hear its working.....

Nordraw Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 It so hard going by those internet reviews. No matter what there will be people saying good things and people saying bad things. About every product and restaurant and movie and tool. Always tough to decide. That's why it's so good to have a site like this where people check things out in the real world and have really used the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryNY Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Great to hear its working.....I was just looking at mine which has had a couple k of nails through it and it still seems to be pretty clean but still retains a nice coating of oil. Maybe some come from the factory better lubed than others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Yea, I think you just have the luck of the draw on how well they lube things up from the factory. My Gen2 Fuel impact driver had a bunch of it in the bit retainer. It kinda oozed out with the first bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbw55 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Had a chance to spend time with the Ryobi 18 gauge nailer.....shot a bunch of 1' and 2' nails, absolutly no issues what so ever. Sunk every nail with out needing to punch them as long as you were fairlly square to the material, my Hitachi air nailer does a slightly better job when not shooting as square to the material. The Ryobi is a bit heavier and larger than my air nailer, took a few hours to get use to. In regards to mis-fires or jambs, never experienced any, shot perfect every time.....It was pretty clean after several hundred nails but cleaned and re-oiled anyway for good measure. All in all the Ryobi is great and wouldn't hesitate buying one again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxwell Tyler Ray Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Great to hear man!! I've come to enjoy mine but it definitely needs to be cleaned and oiled regularly..I've had great use out of mine aswell but I can tell when it's got too much glue build up or debris and needs tobe cleaned..It certainly sets the nails nicely and the extra weight takes getting used to but compared to the noise and irritation of a compressor and hose it's figuratively way lighter hahaWell worth the money and I'd recommend to anyone..jus needs cleaned and oils after every use!!

Trident167 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Have any of you experienced the Ryibi not sinking the nails far enough into the material? and any comment on the 16 gauge nailer??I waited for the Ridgid model to come out and purchased one from HD. The system is similar design to that of the Ryobi. I think it's the same company making it as well.I returned the Ridgid for that exact reason. Found it inconsistent burying the brads into the wood. Some were left just slightly raised requiring me to go back and push them in. Waste of time for me. I had all the settings to max presure and depth and I found I had to have complete weight (both hands) behind the gun for it to sink. If the gun bounces in any way (one handed), the brads don't always sink. I think the technology isn't anywhere near an air compressor yet.A friend said he removed the rubber pad on the tip and he said it helped a bit but would mar surface. Makita is different tech from what I understand. I'm waiting to try that when I can. I'm waiting to see what Milwaukee comes out with as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryNY Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I have the opposite experience with my Ryobi brad. It's almost too powerful and sinks the brads always deep. Ive tried backing off the power but it goes through pine almost too easy. I tried it on some hardwood flooring and it seems to get the nail just right. I don't mind the pine being set too deep because I have to use filler anyway and would rather too deep than proud because you end up making a bigger mess in that case usually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Glassey Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Me also, my roybi brad nailer and stapler have no problem driving into pine. Hardwood I just have to slow down a little. The finisher I have no issues in soft or hard wood. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpy Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Had some of the same issues with the firing pin sticking on the 18ga nailer. Found out that if you turn the power setting down it will cycle again. after some experimenting I've found that the max setting is rarely needed. Keeping the power dial located on top of the nailer at half to three quarter setting has fixed the sticking problem. All in all I've found the Ryobi to be quite dependable and extremely handy. The cleaning required on this unit is minimal compared to the old Paslode gas cartridge system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builditguy Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 A little late to this thread, but I thought I would chime in anyway. A couple years ago I bought a Ryobi battery narrow crown stapler. We use staples for aluminum soffit. We were dragging around the hoses and compressor. I thought I would try it out. So far the stapler has worked great. I have no complaints. While I was at it, I went ahead and bought the 18ga brad nailer. We use a brad nailer alot. The brad nailer worked great for about 6 to 9 months, then nothing. One day it just stopped working. I didn't bother with trying to return it, because I thought I might drift away from the Ryobi and get a DeWalt nailer. I ended up buying another nailer and it's been doing great. We've used it alot. More than the stapler. I would prefer the brad nailer leave a smaller hole in the wood, but that would be the only complaint. We also have a Paslode brad nailer and while it does a slightly better job, it rarely gets used. I can't even remember the last time the air guns were drug out. I will also admit, I'm terrible about maintenance. Get them out, work, throw them back in the bag and on to the next job. I've never cleaned or lubed them. Isn't that something you save until they stop working? I'm not a fan of cheap tools, but I really can't complain about these. If either one of them were to die, today, I wouldn't hesitate to order another one. As far as how many nails or staples you can do on a charge, I have no idea. It's so many that it doesn't even matter. I have 2 small batteries and 1 charger and I've never had an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llag36 Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 i had mine for a year (airstrike) and haven't used it that much and lately just wasn't shooting anymore. I brought it to a second party for repairs because Home depot wont deal with it and its been almost 2 months and still waiting for the nailer. Service really sucks. Why would it take that long??? Ill take a re-emboursement anytime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framer joe Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Never heard HD playing hardball, I’ve returned things after the warranty and just get a store credit always. Sorry to hear that....As far as the brad nailer ,mine works great no problems,,gotta oil and clean ..like the guys above said....I’m not getting the Dewalt brad nailer....I went back to pneumatic guns with the cordless Dewalt compressor....the Dewalt precision point nailers are the best IMO...the tip doesn’t depress just place and shoot...perfection!!!!...Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
