- Did 4 tests and compared the Ryobi Airstrike 16 ga vs 18 ga Nailer. Which one should you buy first? Check all the way to the end! Thank you to the helpful comments below about safety, please exercise caution when using the nailer. When using any nailer never hold what you are nailing with parts of your body.
Buy the P325 16Ga nailer here: amzn.to/3aFdo6V
Buy the P320 18Ga nailer here: amzn.to/3aI5kSY
First time I didn't put music background. Do you like it better without sound or should I put back the background music? let me hear your thoughts as well.

Thank you very much for taking the time for doing the comparison. I'm going to buy the finish nailer tomorrow
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent helpful review. And, no annoying music!!
Now i know what one to buy..Great stuff thanks
🥰Thank u for your demonstrations of ga 16 vs ga 18 nailers. I am not confused 🫤 anymore. I need to do some fencing so I would do the ga 16 finish nailer. I have the 18 brad nailer - and that explains why my pickets kept coming off🤨
Already mentioned about safety here but just to emphasize the point: brads can exhibit a tendency to bend as they hit more dense fibers in the wood and then they end up shooting out the side. When using any nailer never hold what you are nailing with parts of your body.
Agreed. I shall add a warning on the description about the dangers of misusing the nailer.
toootalllllyyyyy.... that was hard to watch
😂
@@whatilearned8045
Most people do not read the description (myself included) so that is a waste of time.
im not gonna lie i was scared for their fingers
I found out the hard way when an 18 gauge went into my palm exactly the way you describe it occurring.
Anyone who has had an 18 gauge brad fire into their thumb from the tip down to the joint would be watching that video with gritted teeth.
Never put your fingers that close to any joint you're nailing and never do joints like those mitres freehand.
The reason why those brads didn't want to go in properly is that the nailer was bouncing off the work and the work was bouncing off the nailer.
You gave the nailer no chance to do its job.
Thank you for this video👍
What a great video, the best I’ve seen on here, I was so interested to see the holding weight demonstration of the the p320 and the p325, I too will go for the p325 based on your vid for the extra holding power and strength
Thank you for your kind comments, I'm glad it helped!
@JTUBER reviews Hello, both would work well. If you attaching thicker trims & want a stronger hold go for the P325. If using delicate or thinner trims, use the P320 since the P325 might split the wood as shown in the tests
Wow thanks, i needed this.
Glad it helped!
Useful comparison, great video.
I'm just glad the nail didn't veer off into your fingers!
Thank You for this..
Saludos cordiales desde MX gracias x el video , muy buen vs tenía mis dudas si adquirir 18 o 16 , gracias a este video ya tomé desicion , a pesar d ser video sin comentarios vervales se entiende lo suficiente para los que el inglés no es nuestro fuerte, gracias buen año 2022 , buenas noches !
The video shall demonstrate how brad nails go sideways and through your fingers to reflect the channel name 'What You Learned"
HAHAHAHAHA Brilliant
Great video! I just came back from Home Depot not sure which one to buy, this helped a lot.
Thank you I'm glad it helped!
What do you have the depth settings set at? I’ve been using this same nailer and it works flawless for me, sinks nails just below surface every time once I set depth correctly.
What a great video, you really help me decided which to buy very easily, thanks a lot
I bought both of them!
Awesome!
Very good tool.
Thanks.
This dude literally scares the shyt out of me when he holds the piece together… I ain’t a pro but I know commonsense lol
Nah, i see it differently. He’s taking one for the team.
I'm fixing some kitchen roll out drawers for my girl and then will eventually be putting up shiplap in my back bedroom. I can't afford both. Would the p320 work ok? Seems the p325 is too powerful and large or nail for smaller projects but will it be big enough for shiplap.
Which one for feather edged fence boards?
A) Please be more careful and B) These are two different types of nailers. It’s possible you’d need both depending on a project.
I agree, thank you for your kind comments!
Which one would you use to build a fence?
@@megae859definitely not the 16ga finishing nailer (think: picture frames, shoe molding, gluing boards together, etc). The 18ga also probably isn’t substantial enough for a fence.
Holding that corner like that....you might get a free finger piercing...
Which one for baseboard installation?
By now I shouldn't have to tell you that those nails hurt pretty bad when they go through your finger, especially when the fingernail is included. 💯
100% Agreed, I can't begin to imagine that. Everyone can use more caution in handling this kind of equipment.
we need a framing nailer in the lineup
I can tel is a new on this business!!
dangit, i just got an 18. Now I need to 16 for my crown molding.
I actually ended up buying the p320, had to get it sent from American through eBay as I could not get one here in the UK as they were sold out, it ended up being the same price, I have to say it’s brilliant, fantastic holding power on 16g Brad nails as demonstrated when putting kitchen units together using 18mm mdf , for UK viewers, Toolstations Tacwise 16g brad nails work brilliantly with this, no jamming, and their as cheap as chips for a box of 5000, I also have the p325 again works brilliantly for attaching hardback to units, again toolstation does Tacwise 16g Brad nails for these in different sizes also very cheap for a box of 5000.
Thank you for the update and the helpful information!
For doing architrave and skirting, which would you suggest? I'm currently weighing up both units.
@@rodgerq p325 is ur best bet for architrave and skirting
@@markstv40 thanks man
Please be careful when nailing 45 degree angle frames. Glue them together first or use clamps instead hold the pieces with hands
I agree, thank you for your kind comments!
Whew! I was cringing the way you held the corner molding and shooting the nail. A slight misdirection can easily shoot out and injury your fingers.
The brad nailer has a depth adjuster.
I have a impact driver from same company I bought only couple years ago. Does anyone know know if the batteries will work for the smaller one. Really just considering it for trip, and small shelves. Thanks!
All of the Ryobi’s tools work with the same batteries
I bought the ryobi p325 and so far when shooting nails into .75 mdf I can only get the nails to go in about 1 inch. My tool also sounds different than yours. It doesn't sound smooth like your tool does but rather makes a pop sound. Out of warranty because I was only using 1 inch nails on first project. Now that I go to 2 inch nails they stick out about an inch
As others have mentioned, there is a knob behind the gun to adjust strength of nailer, and another knob near the tip for finer adjustment. Hope that helps
@@whatilearned8045
Yes, of course. Unfortunately this didn't help at all.
@@drrckhamilton Sorry to hear that. Sounds like the tool itself might have an issue if it's not driving the nails fully. It's unfortunate it's out of warranty. Maybe some viewers here can help troubleshoot if there is anything that can be done.
@@whatilearned8045
Thanks
@@drrckhamilton oil your gun!!! Before every use. These ryobis are very sensitive to dirt and grime..
k pasa k no clava ni se prendee las luces puse la batería cargads y ya no funciono
325 which you prefer is gauge 18.
P325 is 16 gauge.
k pasa k no clava ni se prendee las luces puse la batería cargads y ya no funciono es la misma marca
Which model can be used for concrete panel nailing?
Gun powder Nailer. Don't even look at these for that job. Lil bang stick will do the job for 25 bucks. Look around home Depot
The fact that you even asked that question tells me you should stay away from ramset guns and nail guns mate lol.
I cringed each time he had his fingers so close 😨
Bad place for fingers with that ”picture frame”.
Great video. Spoke volumes. Too much ramblings in most videos.
Can U shoot ur hands 4 me brother 😂
16 guage sounds like a Velociraptor
Can I use gauge 18 gauge nail to a 16guage nailer thanks.
For this nailer, no you can't. There is a possibility of jamming & breaking your nailer.
It depends on what types of jobs or Livelyhood you are doing ❗ if you are a Wood worker and you builds wood furnitures and other hobbyist stuffs then I suggest you to have a variety of nailers or cordless nailers. And as a Certified Carpenter and Licensed Home builder, Wood Worker and a Hobbyist, I have a lot of varieties of Nailers. I have Framing Nailer mostly Plastic Collated, I got them both Pneumatic and Cordless battery operated. I also have 15ga and 16ga finish nailers, I have 18ga Brad nailer, 23ga Pin Nailer and a 18ga Narrow Crown Stapler. I have them all so that I will have a wide selections for a specific type of job or work. Always use the Right Tool for the right and specific job.
I agree, thank you for your input!
Why all 16number wood you use 18 on all 18number use 16/very first was only correct number and guns and you swap as corecting numbers
Very low Power nailer also to max power
i stopped watch when it was quite evident you had no idea what you were doing...
It's ok to talk dude.
Whooooaaaaaaaaaa. What the fuck are you doing man.
so many things wrong with this video,,,,, you are not doing the tools justice
You're going to end up nailing yourself. 🤣
Be careful
There is a KNOB kn the side of.eaxh
You have to SPIN THE KNOB to make the nails sink.more in the wood.
Thats why yours.are.not.flush
Yes, thank you for the comment, I failed to add that to the review.
mine lost function, except the torch after 50 nails, reading reviews from others my conclusion is, such a complicated tool better be bought from a not-so-hobby manufacturer or even go more primitive with air compressor.
A few people have had them fail pretty quick and have posted repair videos, seems like they need a little TLC and they can work fine.
Yes, I have seen some nailers that had jamming problems. So far mine is holding up well on occasional use.
you seemed confused
Please make another video with correct information.do not confuse your watchers
found it creepy a little that you did not speak for some reason... 🤣
First of all you don't understand how a battery brad nailer works. If you don't have a solid surface on back to support gun you will always get a jump on gun. Cause its not a compressor nailer.
Look when weighing A Nail Gun, Please Please Please, weigh with battery + Full Stripe of nails, ( Not forgetting our tool pouch Full of tools/ strip's of nails for 9/10hrs a Day) I'm not going to be up on roof with the body hanging off My blet, Jesus Mary and Joseph 😂🤣😂🤣
Omg😂😂😂. Are you kidding holding the trim and shooting literally at your fingers ? Mate. What are doing ? 😂. I shouldnt even laugh because of how stupid that is. Also a comparison video on the 18g and 16g is pointless and people who are trained in the carpentry trade understand each nailers uses. You dont use these guns for the same application. They are totally different. No DIYer should be using nail guns anyway. They are specifically designed for trades in the construction industry. You ahould be using a hammer and a nail haha. Omg mate.
Toys for boys . Both seriously lacking power in their respective roles . I was curious about Ryobi . Not anymore .
