- Does this nailer need a compressor?
- No. It runs on an 18V Ridgid Li-Ion battery, so there is no hose or compressor. You only need the battery and charger, which come with the kit.
- What size nails does it take?
- It drives 16-gauge finish nails up to 2-1/2 inches long. That covers most baseboard, casing and crown work but not longer fasteners.
- Is it good for overhead crown molding?
- It works, but the gun is heavier than a pneumatic nailer, so overhead work tires your arms faster. Many owners prefer it for baseboard and casing.
- Does it work with other Ridgid 18V batteries?
- Yes. It uses the standard Ridgid 18V Li-Ion platform, so batteries from other Ridgid 18V tools fit.
- How does it compare with a pneumatic finish nailer?
- It trades the hose for battery power. It is heavier and slower than air guns but far more portable and needs no compressor.
- What is in the two-pack?
- You get two 18V brushless 16-gauge nailers along with batteries and a charger, so one can serve as a spare or a second gun for a crew.
- Where is the Ridgid 18V Brushless Cordless 16-Gauge Nailer 2-Pack cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $448.00, as of our latest check.
