RIDGID 18V Brushless Brad Nailer vs RIDGID HYPERDRIVE 18V Brad Nailer
Both are RIDGID 18V brushless 18-gauge brad nailers that drive 5/8 in. to 2-1/8 in. nails and share the Lifetime Service Agreement. The HYPERDRIVE (R09890) is the older, heavier design with a magnesium body, tool-free power adjustment and a stated 2,000 nails per charge on a 4.0 Ah battery. The newer CLEAN DRIVE model is smaller and lighter at 5.4 lb, has a smaller nose for visibility, and RIDGID claims 17X more consecutive perfect drives than the competition. Buy the newer one for trim work where weight and jam-free driving matter; the HYPERDRIVE still suits anyone who wants the belt clip, bag and sample nails in the box.
- Choose the RIDGID CLEAN DRIVE brad nailer if you want the lighter, more compact tool with the small nose and the strongest flush-driving claim.
- Choose the RIDGID HYPERDRIVE brad nailer if you want tool-free power adjustment, a magnesium body and a belt clip, bag and sample nails included.
