I had looked at cheaper brad nailers but was concerned about being able to buy replacement batteries. I have a number of Ryobi 18+ tools so I have plenty of batteries available. The Ryobi nailer was much more expensive but I am pleased I stuck with Ryobi, out of the box it powered up straight away and fired the brads perfectly. I expect this to be another valued asset to my Ryobi collectio
Auch wenn manche Leute etwas zu kritisieren haben, ich muss sagen fr meine Ansprche ist das Gert hervorragend.
Positives- the gun is intuitive, point shoot, depth and power all easily figured out without the manual .
Nailed 18mm plyboards together with ease leaving only a small head mark from the Brad nail..
Negatives
Manual is next to useless.
If you don’t already have Ryobi battery and charger then the costs goes up, however it was cheaper than the DeWalts and guess the batt means I will lean towards more ryobi tools – but if a tie in….
Very easy to load , adjust & use. Very good value for money.
Despus de dar muchas vueltas la eleccin fue Ryobi, pero con la gran suerte de poder acoplarle el adaptador para usar bateras de Makita, que ya tena. Y el resultado ha sido absolutamente impactante… rpida, potente, precisa, fcil de usar (yo nunca haba usado una clavadora), cmoda en tacto y agarre, y a prueba de tontos.
en el primer da de trabajo ya despach unos 150 disparos y todos fueron perfectos, ni me enter.
Es pesada, pero eso da estabilidad, y es muy sencilla de ajustar… un gran acierto.
El adaptador de Badaptor es perfecto y firme. Las bateras de Makita la alimentan a la perfeccin y cunden muchsimo…
Creo que voy a tener la sonrisa fija en la cara durante unos buenos das.
Arrived on time and in perfect condition. Have only used this to test using a dozen nails or so. Easy to use, easy to adjust. Works as it should.
Great little nail gun.
Uses the same battery as my lawn mower.
Easy to load and use, and strong fix.
It does falter once every 10 shots or so, so you have to re-apply and fire again.
Don’t know how I managed without it.
Skirtings, architrave, door stops – done them all
Absolutely amazing would definitely recommend if doing any project. It saved me so much time, arm ache and near witk
bonne qualit gnrale, grande puissance et prcision bonne. seul hic : les clous ont tendance se bloquer en biais dans le chargeur.
Ryobi continue to rise in my estimation.
I wanted compressed air firing but without non-eco-friendly fuel cartridges. Ryobi invested this electrically charged compressed air cylinder – a stroke of genius which others are now immitating.
I’m impressed with the ease of loading, ease of firing, range of compatible brad nail lengths, number of shots I get from a 4000AHr battery.
Occasional nail jams can usually be ejected by releasing the clip on the top of the firing rail. I had to use a screwdriver once to get a stuck nail to move.
Behaves a little strangely when down to the last few nails – doesn’t like to fire them, perhaps not enough spring tension – have found I can load another clip in to fir the last few from the previous clip.
Have used this for 3 months this Summer. Hope it proves durable as I’ve started recommending to others and am considering migrating all my cordless tools to Ryobi as my old Bosh greens (DIY range) wear out and possibly my Makita too – but time will tell.
This has been a fantastic product in terms of its ease of use; the single battery system is fantastic and the overall build quality and functionality are excellent. Has performed faultlessly for the last 6 months. I have other Ryobi power tools and have never been disappointed with their quality, performance and value for money.
My first nail gun and what a well designed and well made tool
Portable with One battery, fast for fence and shed panel repairs. Good range of nails and pins. Powerful guide light.
la recomendaria por que es una de las mas barata dentro de sus prestaciones, existe alguna mas barata de este tipo de aire comprimido pero hay muy poca informacion sobre ellas.
recomiendo en uso continuado tener un muequera puesta, pesa un poco, pero te acostunbras enseguida, todas de este tipo pesan, y clavar, clava muy bien, no la he usado mucho pero unos 2000 clavos ya me he gastado y han sido poquisimos clavos, una docena mas o menos que no han clavado por haberla puesto inclinada en vez de vertical al plano.
encantado estoy con ella, nada mas cogerla le pinte la flechita negra en relieve que tiene en la salida de las puntas en verde por que no se ve y asi es mas facil posicionarte, la luz ilumina pero no a la zona justa donde clava, pero a de estar encendida, si no la clavadora no clava, me parece un buen sistema en seguridad, ademas del pison del cabezal, te puedes quedar dormido poniendo puntas. es un decir, jejeje, clava, clava, clava…
puntas menos las de 50mm he usado todas y las clava sin problemas, una gran compra,
el no llevar bateria es un filosofia de la marca por que si ya tienes alguna maquina no has de tener otra bateria que puede que no necesites y comprar la bateria aparte del amperaje que quieras es un acierto,
barata no es, si que mas barata que otras de otras marcas mas prestigiosas, pero barata no es. pero al final compensa.
la pega es que no tenga un maletin para su transporte ni como opcion, un poco cutre la verdad.
Easy to use nail gun, works as advertised and makes the job easie
Very nice nailer and a great addition to anybody’s Ryobi collection of tools. Great performance on a 4.0 ah battery. Absolutely satisfied.
What do you buy the man who has everything,so I bought one of these. My hubby is over the moon with i
Impressionnant !!!!
J’ai fait un habillage avec ce clouer et il m’a impressionn.
Puissant, prcis, solide
Environ 300 pointes et pas un blocage
Je recommande !!!!
This is my second one..first one served me more then two years..fast delivery and a good price for what it does.. never go on site without a finish nailer…
Dieser wird gedrckt, und das Magazin kann geffnet werden.
Jetzt knnen die Ngel eingelegt werden.
Die Magazinabdeckung wird vorgeschoben bis sie einrastet.
Anschlieend wird ein geladener Akku der Firma Ryobi eingesteckt und das Gert ist bereit.
Es empfiehlt sich zunchst einige Testschsse durchzufhren. Dabei kann ber das Drehrad auf der Rckseite die Intensitt geregelt werden, mit dem die Ngel in das Holz eingetrieben werden.
Eine weitere Feinjustierung ist das Stellrad auf der Vorderseite.
Positiv zu vermerken ist die einfache Konstruktion der Wartungsklappe” am Kopf der Maschine.
Sollte ein Nagel blockieren oder klemmen, kann dieser einfach durch ffnen der Klappe entfernt werden.
Zuvor sind jedoch die restlichen Ngel durch ffnen des Magazins zu entspannen, da ansonsten das gesamte Magazin unkontrolliert nach vorne heraus schiet.
Die Maschine liegt gut in der Hand, dass beidseitige LED Licht ist eine prima Hilfe.Fr den gelegentlichen Einsatz in Haus und Hof gibt es meiner Meinung nach an dem Gert nichts auszusetzen. Erwhnen mchte ich das Preis-Leistungs-Verhltnis, das Gert wurde Ende August 2019 fr unter 200 erworben. Dies war auch ein Grund weshalb ich mich fr dieses Gert entschieden habe, da die Mitbewerber hier durchschnittlich teurer waren. Der Hersteller gibt zudem eine Dreijahresgarantie, ich hoffe das ich diese nicht brauche.
Fazit:
zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt sehe ich in dem Produkt einen soliden Akku Nagler der aufgrund seines Preis-Leistungs-Verhltnis optimal fr den gelegentlichen Einsatz in Haus und Hof geeignet is
Purtroppo vero che ammette di funzionare quando arriva agli ultimi 5-6 chiodi ma ci passo volentieri sopra considerando l’efficenza e l’affidabilit del prodotto. L’unica vera pecca e motivo per cui non do 5 stelle e che non forniscono una valigetta apposita neanche a pagarla. Per il resto sono pienamente soddisfatto davvero bella e precisa.
Das ergebnis ist Einwandfrei, man braucht zwar ein paar Schuss, bis man die passende Einstellung gefunden hat, damit die Ngel nicht zu tief versenkt werden, aber dann, perfekt.
Die Kraft ist mehr als ausreichend um die Ngel auch massive Wnde zu schieen.
Natrlich ersetzt die Pistole in den meisten Fllen den normalen Hammer, zumindest wenn die Ngelgre ausreichend ist.
Durch die 3-fach Abzugssicherung ist ein versehentliches auslsen (sofern man sich nicht im dauermodus befindet) so gut wie ausgeschlossen.
Wer schon Ryobi der One+ Serie zuhause hat eine Nagelpistole braucht, ist die hier ein klarer Tip. Zumahl auch viele Pressluftnagler keine greren Ngel knnen, man aber immer den Luftschlauch hat und an einen Kompressor gebunden ist.
This is an excellent AirStrike Nailer! I have been using it without any problem!
ice build quality for tool of this price, works very well,not as fast as say milwaukee but more than good enough for most projects
I wasn’t expecting to much when ordering this however I was pleasantly surprised. On first use this has exceeded my expectations. It drives home the nails well and the depth can be adjusted. I installed 200m of skirting with this and with ease, very easy to handle and change nails. I will be giving this another run out soo
Es ist mein Lieblingswerkzeug kann man schon sagen, man kann damit alles machen von Fuleisten bis schrnke reparieren uvm.
Spa Faktor garantie, hammer und nagel in den mll
Iv just bought this tool for nailing beading for laminate flooring and it is spot on.I have used it on several jobs now and it’s so quick and easy to use.
Saved me a fortune compared to bigger brands.
Iv only had it for a month but use it every day and so far no problems.only time will tell I suppose but I have registered for the warranty.
A reliable 2nd fix nailer. A little heavy for constant use but works faultlessly
Very good nail gun. I have it for 2-3 months now and it works grea
I have used this gunb a couploe of times and it is very easy to use and seems do do the job very well. i was considering getting an air compressor version but glad I didnt. Not sure ion how long the 2V battery wil last but for my uses (woodworking hobbist) it should be fine.
Its light yet feels sturdy and will hopfully last me a good few years. This will spped up my projects no end.
Pros:
– Light
– Easy to load
– no air compressor needed
– Cordless
– one battery fits all
Cons:
– Instructions poor
– No deal that sells this model with a battery
I will start by prefacing that I am only a hobbyist DIY enthusiast and in no way qualified to say whether or not this nailer from Ryobi would be a good trade option, but for me it is fantastic.
It has served its purpose already and is now being used for other projects. The convenience of not having compressed air and hoses is a big plus for me, and not having to actually hammer nails in is a God send. The only issue I have ad is with the jam release mechanism, being very VERY stiff, but I suppose this is a safety feature as you wouldn’t want your brad nails flying out at you mid job.
It does require the purchase of a battery to use, however I already have a few Ryobi One+ tools and batteries, which is what actually drew me to this particular nailer.
La herramienta en s cumple con creces con mis espectativas, rpida. silenciosa y potente. A su vez le agradezco al vendedor que estuvo en todo momento en contacto conmigo en el proceso de envo. Muy recomendable.
Always wanted this nail gun for work but couldn’t afford it at first so bought a cheeper version which broke before first job completed got a replacement lasted 12months, finally got this Ryobi and wished I just got it from the start it’s fantastic, powerful and long lasting battery 5.0Ah
J’avai un gros doute avant mon achat sur l’efficacit de ce cloueur mais je suis bluff par ce produit ce n’est pas un cloueur pro gaz mais il devrait satisfaire la plus part des utilisateurs
moi qui n’aimais pas planter des clous maintenant je ne loupe pas une occasion.
De trs bonne qualit.
Costa un Po di pi delle pessime Cinesate ma funziona Molto Bene…….ottima Potenza non si inceppa mai e se accadesse facile da ripristinare in pochi secondi.
Certo un Po pesante da maneggiare con una sola mano….ma ci si riesce.
Consigliatissima
I’m now looking for new projects so I can keep using this nailer. It’s so easy to use, even my 6 year old can use it (only under close supervision, of course).
A Christmas present to myself easy to use, and easy to load with nails or brads, the led light is a great help.
Per chi ha la necessit di applicare una quantit importante di chiodi, la pistola sparachiodi di Ryobi senza dubbio uno dei migliori utensili in commercio.
L’aspetto positivo principale che la sparachiodi alimentata a batteria 18V il che consente una facilit di utilizzo rispetto ad altre pistole ad aria compressa. Dotata di led che illuminano molto bene l’area in cui si intende applicare i chiodi (senza testa), dotata del regolatore di intensit di pressione oltre a quello della lunghezza dei chiodi.
Aspetto negativo: non consente l’utilizzo delle graffette e molto spesso si blocca quando si giunge alla fine della striscia di chiodi
Did a big job in the house with it and saved myself a lot of time by using this tool.
Another excellent product from Ryobi to add to my expanding collection. I am a joiner with 20 years experience and cannot really justify spending big money on similar Makita or dewalt products (paslode too) This air nailer works perfectly and has 4 times paid for itself in just 2 months.
So kann ich mir das lstige vorbohren sparen. Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
O usato questo per a mettere battiscopa di legno e PVC sul muro.Sono molto contento e meglio di sparachiodi con compresore non fa rumori e batte ii chiodi multo meglio …
Used on a number of DIY projects. Worked reliably with no issues.
La estoy usando a nivel profesional y me va muy bien. Estoy muy contento
Fantastic addition to ryobi set, made putting wall cladding up a breeze
Really really happy with this tool quality all the way
GREAT PIECE OF KIT. FIRES 50MM 18 GAUGE BRADS INTO HARDWOOD WITH NO PROBLEM. NOT EVEN TURNED UPTO FULL POWER AND IT CAN BURY THE HEADS INTO OAK. PLUS NO CABLES OR AIRLINES TO WORRY ABOUT.
pour l’instant pas dessus de cette machine je deviens meme un peu faignant tellement c’est pratique , dommage que les clous ne soient pas plus pais
Un trs bon utill. Assez leger, facile manipuler et efficace.
mi arrivata da una decina di giorni, messa subito in opera. Non sbaglia un colpo ed facile da regolare la profondit del chiodo.
Molto utili anche i due led che illuminano la zono di lavoro.
La consiglio.
Great brad gun works very well. This is my 3rd in 2 years as once the stop working it’s not easy finding someone to fix it
I got my others via eBay from USA same gun And then a lot cheaper but pointless if no one will fix it
This is a great price and even though the others stopped working it’s still one of the best brad guns out there
Tolles Teil habe gerade unseren hausflur mit panelen bestckt. War mir dabei grosse Hilfe. Ging Ruck Zuck.
Mit diesem Gert ist schnelles arbeiten mglich.
Nothing to dislike it worked perfectly I was well impressed
La Ryobi un p cara, ma tutta un’altra cosa, precisa e potente, ha inserito un chiodo di 50mm in un morale di abete da 90mm senza problemi, la uso di frequente e ne sono soddisfatto.
Joiner to trade I can’t fault this gun was worried how well it would cope compared to others i have had very happy with it use it every day for facings and skirtings still early days so may update in the coming months
Guten Tag
Das Produkt ist trs wirklich
Ich habe 4 etoiles und nicht 5 gelegt, weil direkt bekommener(empfangener) Ryobi ohne doppelte Verpackung hinke!
Ein wenig riskiert, finde mich fr das Material zu diesem Preis
Wish I’d bought one years ago when I first used wood cladding. Saves so much time and effort especially when cladding ceilings and awkward corners. Item delivered on time.
Impressionnant la puissance de cette machine. Les pointes de 65mm rentre dans tous les bois mme les plus durs comme dans du beurre.
Ce mme matriel est vendu en magasin pour 250, de plus livraison le lendemain, que demander de +…
I have used mine to pin hard board panels to wooden frames and similar nailing work.
Shall use it soon to tack the panels for my shed.
Works well, I have a large range of Rybio ONE tools, from impack drills to lawn mowers prob over 20.
The quality is always good in manufacture and design and are quite heavy duty.
Although not Ryobis fault I would recommend buying a box of longer nails for skirting bored – while the ones in the box were ok I just feel they could have been longer thus making more secure
Tipp fr Munition: Englisch suchen nach “Brad Nails”, Strkenangabe in “18 Gauge” beachten; man muss keine teuren Marken kaufen, um perfekte Ergebnisse zu haben.
Also immer wieder, Ryobi macht Spitzenprodukte.
Im ersten Moment erscheint einem der Preis sehr hoch. Hat man sie aber in der Hand, hat man was echt professionelles.
Die Maschiene knallt die 50er Ngel ins Holz, dass man selbst schon Angst bekommt.
Ryobi ist zwar eigentlich sehr teuer, aber es ist einfach wirklich Qualitt.
Ich rste gerade um, auch die Akkulaufzeiten sind unberbietbar.
Trs bonne qualit comme tous les outils de cette marque
Un peu lourde
Puissante et trs pratique avec la fonction clairage
This is a really excellent nailer. In a completely different class to the cheaper cordless models. A tad heavy with the 4.0Ah battery, but the weight is actually an advantage in holding the nailer steady when it fires
Muy potente y precisa, poco retroceso y muy buenas medidas de seguridad para no hacerte dao. Clavos mximo 40mm. No acepta clavos de 10mm.
Ce qui vous amne un prix final de prs de 350 euros, sauf si vous possdez dj un autre appareil Ryobi sans fil, car la batterie est compatible avec toutes les machines sans fil de la marque, ce qui n’tait pas mon cas.
La notice est succincte, mais bon, on en comprend vite le fonctionnement.
Et l c’est le bonheur, fini le temps pass planter les clous coups de marteau, fini les doigts crass, et vive la rapidit !
Les clous plantent comme dans du beurre, c’est prcis, sans effort et le rsultat est propre.
A noter que deux leds viennent clairer votre travail, ce qui est trs pratique.
Je me sers de cette cloueuse pour fixer les lambris, les plinthes, l’abri de jardin, rparer un meuble.
L’avantage est qu’il n’y a pas le risque d’endommager la surface du bois en tapant trop fort ou ct du clou, a me simplifie vraiment la vie !
Je reviendrai ici pour donner un second avis avec un peu de recul dans le temps, histoire de voir si elle supporte les longues journes de travail.
Vraiment pas du de mon achat du tout !
First nailgun I have owned and not a brand I would normal go for but checking lots of YouTube vids for test this plus the 16 gauge came out on top and not just on price. So far very happy and surprised how much I have used it.
This is so much easier than dragging round airlines and very well built. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY COLOUR.. once you buy into the RYOBI range.. you will find the kit actually quite good. Service is brilliant if you have an issue and your never going to loose your tools again!!
excellent tool don’t know how I lasted so long without i
pour moi il est peut lourd en main, mais comme c’est du travail occasionnel a devrait aller,
je ne l’ai pas encore essay.
Das Magazin lsst sich sehr einfach nachfllen. Das Gert macht einen soliden stabilen wie von Ryobi gewohnten Gesamteindruck.
Der Nagler ist berraschend gro, was aber nicht weiter strt.
Getestet habe ich ihn mit 50 mm Ngel in Massivholz Fichte, Spanplatte 38mm, 20 mm Holz auf Ziegelwand. Die Ngel gingen berall perfekt rein.
Einzig in der Spanplatte musste ich den letzten mm per Hand einschlagen.
Preis Leistung. TOP!
As always with Ryobi it’s an excellent bit of kit. I’d been after a nail gun for a while, after seeing reviews on a certain tube site, I went ahead and purchased the Airstrike & it’s brilliant. Took me a few go’s for me to get it dialled in to the job at hand but once there it’s fantastic. No more dragging air hoses and cables for me 🙂
Puedes clavar , bastante rapido , no hay que esperar entre clavo y clavo.
La recomiendo , muy manejable y fiable.
Buena seguridad , cuando le quedan tres clavos en la cmara se desactiva por seguridad , se recarga y todo a la perfeccin.
Lo nico en contra que le veo es el pulsador de la luz , ya que siempre la activas aunque no quieras. pero es un mal menor.
Muy Buea.
mucho mas caras, clava perfectamente y con suavidad los clavos, muy buena ergonoma, se nota una maquina profesional en las manos,
gran libertad de movimiento, se lo recomiendo a todo interesado, enhorabuena RYOBi
Le bec fin se loge partout, c’est du bonheur.
L’accroche ceinture est bien pratique
Seul petit bmol, l’emplacement du bouton qui allume les led, impossible de prendre la machine sans les allumer.
Sinon, rien redire, j’en suis, moi perso, trs content
Ah si, une p’tite malette de transport aurait t bien pratique!
06/04/2018 En panne. N’a pas fonctionn trs longtemps ce prix l.
The nailer itself is a little weighty but highly portable and relatively easy to manipulate with no pressure line or cords getting in the way, it takes a little practice to get used to the settings in different materials but the knack comes quickly. There’s a fair old kick when fired,my dog runs off when it’s in use. I haven’t experienced one jam yet even when I set it on rapid fire, it may be that I’ve been lucky or the quality of the nails I am using helps. The quick release for clearing jams is a little stiff and I operated it a few times, fettled it a fair bit and now it’s a little less fierce.
Being at the value end of the market this product is well made, easy and simple to use and I recommend it for all the DIYers or hobby woodworkers thicnking of buying one.
Ca’t fault this product, does exactly what it says on the box.
In terms of functionality it works really well, it hasn’t jammed that often when I’ve used it as stated by other reviewers, it may be the quality of nails I’m currently using is better? When it does jam its a simple operation with a clip at the front, it is a little stiff and it took a a bit of fettling to loosen it up.
The features are easy to use and once set it nails repeatedly without complaint, I’ve used it on both hardwoods and softwoods and I haven’t had an issue, I use it a least twice a week as I’m a hobbyist woodworker, I couldn’t comment on its suitability for trade use. For people like me it’s a sturdy and robust little unit at a good price if you shop around.
I’ve used it a number of times and I must say I was impressed with the product. It’s a lot lighter than the Dewalt brad gun. The depth & power adjustments work well. It will fire 50mm / 2″ 18 gauge brads into softwood no problem.
The only problem I have with the tool is that it does jam a lot. Over all it’s good value for money and the fact it’s part of the Ryobi One+ system is a huge bonus as I have a number of other One+ tools.
Really really good machine. Actually picked this one over the Red (The red brand). Angled could be a facelift in the future, but its ok for most jobs. I keep it stored indoors and I picked this one over the 18G since 16G for higher “holding power” and its by no means a “large” hole it create. Fill it up with mud or something.
