- Does it need gas cartridges?
- No. It is fully airless and fires from battery power alone, so there are no fuel cells to buy or replace.
- Which nails does it take?
- It is a finish nailer for brads and finish nails in the size range Ryobi specifies for this model. Check the manual for the exact gauge and length before buying fasteners.
- Which battery does it use?
- Any Ryobi 18V One+ lithium-ion pack. Larger packs give longer runtime; a compact pack keeps the tool lighter.
- Is it good enough for professional trim work?
- For punch lists, baseboard and light trim, yes. For high-volume production trim, a pneumatic gun is faster and lighter.
- How does it compare with a pneumatic nailer?
- It trades speed and light weight for no compressor, no hose and no gas. Setup is simpler, but sustained firing is slower.
- Does it have a dry-fire lockout?
- Yes, it stops firing when the magazine runs low, which helps prevent blank shots and marred wood.
- Where is the Ryobi HP 18V Brushless Cordless Nailer cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $259.00, as of our latest check.
