*TIP* last few years ryobi have run the 12 tools of Christmas promotion - you can buy a starter set with battery, charger and a tool, then get a free battery or other tool/ accessory. I did this and got a bare nailer from amazon at the same sort of time. Worked out really good value 👍🏻
I just bought this tool yesterday and am very glad to find this review. It looks like I got a pretty good nailer and learned quite a lot about it. Thank you.
Mate I have the Makita one, and I'd say you are bang on. For the price (especially if you already have the batteries) that looks like a top little unit. It even has some features the Makita doesn't have like bump-fire, and it is 15-50mm whereas the Makita is 15-35mm. It looks a little larger and the nail magazine a little flimsier but honestly for how darn useful these things are around the shop without the compressor looks like a bargain to me. Good stuff!
Thank you David, it's definitely a good peice of kit for the money.

Hello Karl, Good tool, good brand. A good choice. Thank you for the introduction and information. I am happy that you are expanding your family business. I also follow you on social media. I follow your actions closely. keep doing good work. See you anytime. I wish you healthy and happy days as a family. Big greetings. Your friend Mehmet
Lot's of people knock the Ryobi brand in general saying it's cheap crap but honestly I don't agree whatsoever infact I own 3 or 4 of their products and have zero complaints about them, Honestly I'm glad I own them I think there alot better than people give them credit for!!!
Hi Simon I had a small sander a few years ago and I wasn't keen on it at all so it put me off but now I have the brad nailer and Jigsaw I'm really impressed. I've lots of tools from different brands some great some not so. Thanks for watching mate
I am a bosch pro man predominantly however I bought this nailer both 18 and 16g... I bought the BADAPTER to convert my Bosch pro batteries to fit the Ryobi tools... BADAPTER come in different formats too :)

Good review Karl, competitively priced, brilliant selling feature it stops fireing before you run out of brads. It's most annoying when you run out, re checking your work and having to fill two sets of holes, expecially if your in a fast paced assembly shop.
The cheap prices of Ryobi have turned my head a few times, but the thought of starting another battery system seems like more trouble that it's worth. Naturally if they were to send me a freebie i'd always give it a go haha! Looks like a great product on reflection, and 200 dollars cheaper than the battery system i'm currently on would be worth a sniff if I could get a battery and charger for cheap enough. Cheers mate
Ye totally agree with that Sam once you are locked into a battery system it's a big deal to switch for sure. It's always nice to receive a decent bit of kit for free. 😊
Nice review Karl although, I must confess to being a bit of a Makita fan boy. Some of your description had me remembering my weapons training in the Army, any history there? Anyway mate, nicely done. All the best, Brian.
Hi Brian I do think it's good to go for a one stop shop when it comes to battery powered tools so I definitely agree there. I'm a bit mixed bag at the moment but that's down to budget, I'm hoping ryobi will jump on board and supplie me with the full range as I really like their kit😊 oh and ye mate I was in the RDG left in October 15 after 18.5 years. 😊

Good review i tend to use Makita cordless now mainly because of the problems I've had with Ryobi batteries, cells don't last & I've thrown at least 9 out due to charging but then they don't work even though they come up fully charged my Makita batteries are far superior Ryobi batteries quality has put me off their products but I still own a fair amount of their 18v 1+ tool's

Great Tip Barrie thanks mate. I'll pin your comment to the top for everyone else to see. Cheers mate
@@karlpopewoodcraft thanks for all the content Karl 👏
Going to use mine for the first time. This video was superb ,thanks very much
Cheers Robin, it's a great bit of kit mate I use mine daily.
I just bought this tool yesterday and am very glad to find this review. It looks like I got a pretty good nailer and learned quite a lot about it. Thank you.
If you ever find in jamming just add a bit of D40 to the part where the pins fire out of. Sometimes it gets a bit gummed up in there.
Note that battery adaptors exist to fit 18V batteries from the major brands of power tools to the Ryobi One+ range.
That's good to know mate.
I didn’t know that, that’s a game changer.
My husband bought me one of these and it's brilliant. Good review Karl
Lucky bugger 🍀😊 thanks Lyn.

Hi Karl
Good honest review, will be a tool i will be investing in the future. You have come in a long way since your first videos
Thank you David, it's definitely a good peice of kit for the money.

Great video Karl, as always. The Ryobi tool range is very good value for money!
Cheers mate, I've not really had any Ryobi tools before but so far I'm impressed.
@@karlpopewoodcraft As novice they are great for me. I would imagine for pros/trades you want a decent quality trade manufacturer.
@@MohammedAli-hw2zq so for so good mate, only more time will tell.

Great review mate and I've got the same nailgun and I bloody love it, it is so convenient than keeping a compressor charged and dragging hoses.
Totally agree mate, I'm so glad I have it😊
Nice one mate, you covered everything there. A well thought out review. 🔨🔨🔨
Thank you George. 😊
Good review Karl. I was thinking of getting one now I will. Thank You pal
It's definitely a decent peice of kit mate, I'm so glad to have it.
Excellent review. I have this nailer and you pointed out a couple of things I didn't know about it. Cheers.
Oh great cheers Rich, which thing where they?

@@lawman1965 I'm definitely not either Rich, I hate instructions 😂 I watched about 6 other videos and collected all the knowledge 🤣
Great little review Karl, well worth a punt. Decent price too
Cheers Steve, great price I think compared to its competitors. Its a great bit of kit as well.

Good review mate. I did look at this but thought as I was importing it I would go for the hikoki/metabo. Also a great gun
Why what's the difference with the import mate?
