great video. I love the bench setup with the pegboard, shadow board with the lights above. Just building a garage now and will do the same in mine.
That's cool, thanks for sharing. I have all my favorite tools within reach in my work corner.
My first nail gun was an old Senco 1989 version. It was a good old gun but is heavy in relation to the new guns. I have gone through two Porter Cable guns since the Senco, but this gun looks impressive. Thanks for the video. Al from Maryland, Remodeling Contractor of 35 years.
Thanks! I plan on showing this nail gun in action building a firewood shed. So far so good!
Just picked this up today. Really great nail gun. Finished framing my basement bathroom with it today.
Awesome, it's amazing power in your hand when using a framing nailer!
These lighter weight nailers are SO much appreciated when you use them day after day.
I bet. What air hose do you use? I recently bough the lightweight Hitachi one and it's working very well so far.
markthomasbuilder I am still using the blue hose that's been around forever, what's the story on the Hitachi light weight hose ? Btw appreciate your review.
@@interman7715 I really like it! I've had it for several months now and it's holding up well. It doesn't kink or twist much either.
Nothing beats a hitachi gun nailer it’s the best period
I just bought this nailer. Love it.
I think the problem with clipped head nails is that building codes in some areas don’t allow them.
Glad to hear it! I wasn't aware of that code issue. Thanks!
Florida doesnt allow clipped head for intance only full head. Winds too high they say wont hold up. I dont shoot em either way you are losing half of your hold on every nail on every piece of lumber. Only reason they are a thing is so they have higher capacity rungs. Load up your apron or make more trips. Dont sacrifice quality for speed.
The no mar head goes in the C shaped circle on the rack where the nails slide. I love mine! It does the job
Thank you! It's a great nailer, for sure!
great review! hey I just wanted to comment that with the driving of the nails there is an adjustment dial on the head of the nailer to allow the hail to go deeper or stick out. Thanks again for the review.
Thanks for the video. I just bought one of these today and haven’t got to try it yet
Awesome, let me know how it works for you.
Thanks good video-I'm going to buy one.
Glad to help! Please let me know how it works out for you.
It was great my friend. 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thank you 👍
I picked this gun up last week and I like it. FYI I didn't see anyone else post this; I found there's a little orange adjuster by the tip that limits the depth of the nail. I can run this gun at 20psi and it'll drive nails in proper all day with it adjusted down. If I run at 80-90psi adjusted like that it'll bury the head about 1/2" in a 2x4. I don't know if that's bad for the tool to run that low psi though, I didn't see anything in the manual about it. It sure works though.
Very interesting. Mine seems to need more psi to get it to drive a nail flush. 90psi is probably a decent amount for me.
The manual is pathetic
@@rogerb9400 it does leave a heck of a lot to be desired haha
great gun ............ using it 5 years at least 2 days a week on commercial jobs.......just add oil twice a day and it will last forever
Awesome, I'm glad to hear that! Thanks!
I’m a 13 year old carpenter my first gun was a hitachi nr83a
Wow, that's impressive that you run that at your age. Sounds like me at 13. I remember asking for a chainsaw for Christmas back then lol.
Thanks for video. Just got one & love the thick teeth, your right they are very good at keeping gun stable while toe nailing. Also lifetime replacement part is was got me, as well as 20 more nails with faster rate & some competition didn't even supply the air line hook up! & it was 100$ cheaper....
Love the hat, hate the Minnesota Wild. (Game 7 vs Avs😂😉)
Glad to hear it's working well for you. The nailer is a beast! Cool to hear from another hockey fan!
Round head for sure!
Thanks for the time you took to make this video.. it really helped me in my selection process.. i wish you wud have showed the compressor you were using tho.. i have 2 strong dewalt ones so im sure im good. but if you had one of the same i knew there was a problem.
Thanks! The compressor I'm using is a Emglo E810-4V. I've had the compressor for at least 13 years, if not more.
I hope the repair process doesn't take as long as the LSA approval process. I registered my new framing nailer three weeks ago and it still hasn't been approved. I'm seriously considering returning the nailer and buying the Milwaukee.
I gave up trying to register mine. What a pain in the ass.
I have been interested in this nailer for a while now. I have always used Hitachi 3 1/4" nailer do to its speed and durability. I'm a framer and the go to gun for framing is Hitachi... do you recommend this gun for actual framing? I mean back to back firing every day?
I've used a Senco framing nailer before this Ridgid one. The Ridgid is much lighter and has a few more features that I like better. It requires a little more psi to run it, but it's a great choice for daily use, in my opinion
? Why does it leave a few nails in the gun before it jambs. I have the same problem.
If I understand your question correctly, it's a dry-fire lockout which is a common feature to help prevent damage to your nailer. I suppose over time, the firing/driving pin could get warped if it didn't have that.
Thanks for your review. Have you noticed any trouble using the plastic collated nails vs paper with this nail gun?
You bet! I've only used the plastic ones and it's still working well.
My 25 year old Porter Cable out-worked my new Ridgid till it blew a seal.
My old Senco is heavy, but still does a great job too. This Ridgid is still holding up for me very well.
What size compressor do you recommend?
That's a great question... I believe the range of the nail gun is 70psi-120psi. I'm hearing that most people run closer to 120psi for 3-1/2" nails. The minimum size I'd say is the 6 gallon Ridgid pancake compressor.
mateollios 67 A 2hp 10 cfm compressor will keep two framing nailers going all day easily.
i dropped my 24 year old mail gun today and bent the sleeve that holds the nails and went and looked at a few new ones today. and this ridged is one i looked at hard. then a friend called me and told me his old gun died and i can have the slid off his. so going to try and keep it another 24 years. but i don't do it for a living that's why its lasted so long and i oil the hell out of it everyday when i do use it. but when this one does die i will look at these again.
That's fortunate to be able to get parts off another one. I'm planning on making a video comparing a pneumatic framing nailer versus battery powered.
I am thinking about getting this gun. Would you guys recommend it?
It did a great job for me. I had to adjust my compressor a little higher than what I was used to with my old Senco framer. Overall, I definitely recommend it.
Picked it up the other day. Great gun! Thanks Guys.
Mine wouldn't set nails till I ground the nose down. adjuster was a joke. BTW i'm running a steady 135 lbs of air with a 10hp 40 gallon tank.
wish I had a jelly donut
I know that people do bump fire on these guns, but I don't think I would want that. I guess I am just too particular about where my nails end up.
I tend to not bump fire too often. It's irritating to see the nail miss the target.
I really enjoy your vid but it would be a little more helpful if give more info like psi and compresser size
Ok thank you
Can you use 3 inch nails with this framing nailer?
Yes, anything up to 3-1/2" nails.
What project would you use this framing nailer for?
Framing?
Fencing? Round head angle or coil siding would work
what is the recommended psi for this tool? thanks
They say the range is 70-120psi. I run around 100. My older Senco framing nailer only needs about 80psi, but it's way heavier.
@@MarkThomasBuilder i like your channel i think hitachi 3 1/2 cordless is better and soon 18m Milwaukee coming out too which will be pricy af. so i believe you will purchase them too at some point. world move this direction now.
Thanks, I"m excited to try them out. This nailer really does a great job setting the nails in fast.
You used a finish hammer to frame? Yikes
Did I say that? Oops.
Lol had me going for a sec their.
Half of the video seems to feature the box and opening it. Switched off by this point.
Thanks for letting me know. I'm working on getting to the action faster as I make new videos.
@@MarkThomasBuilder
People who don't have one already appreciate the information from the box so they know which one to look for and if it has what they need. The people that already know so much about it can actually fast fwd thru that part instead of whining about it.
Afraid to say where it’s made?
I don't recall seeing where it's made. If it's on the box, them I may mention it in my video or display it to read.
Taiwan apparently-
This guy doesn't know how to use a nail gun.
He seems to be pulling up as he pulls the trigger, not allowing the nail to go all the way in before lifting it.
