Ryobi 18V 3/8" Crown Stapler P317 Review

[@ToolCraze]

Full review is on the website toolcraze.net/ryobi-p317-18v-3-8-inch-crown-stapler-honest-review/ Also, I apologize for the many out of focus moments and for the difference in quality compared to my usual videos. It was unscripted.

[@geewizzleo]

Thank you ,Thank you, Thank you. I just noticed...I loaded my stapler the wrong way. You are the only one that showed how to load the staplers and where they go. Thanks again for helping a newbie.

[@GraceCogar]

Would have never figured out how to load the staples without this!!!

[@ToolCraze]

😀

[@jonfbcvr]

Thanks! I had staples in the wrong way and couldn’t get it to work. Couldn’t find the instructions so this was so helpful.

[@yummy678ify]

My man! We miss you! Keep them coming. As others have said we check the website daily!

[@ToolCraze]

Awesome thanks!

[@jl9362]

Thanks for the video. Good to see you making full length videos again. I start every morning off by checking the website and have made many purchases based on your reviews.

[@tensazero]

Finally another video. Kinda miss the old setup. Great job on always updating the website.

[@boydtsosie7140]

Good to see you back in the subscription feed! Great video as always, not a tool I use but I know where to get a straight up review if I ever have to buy one of these tools 👍

What happened to the other guy

[@ToolCraze]

What other guy?

[@boydtsosie7140]

@@davidharden4089 no sure who you are talking about?

[@brutisking]

Full length vids definitely a plus. Keep up the great vids👍👍

[@ToolCraze]

Thanks

[@ytb917]

great information on how to load the staples around 3:20. i would have stared at the stapler for two hours not knowing why the staples aren't stapling.

[@Redditafterhours283]

Couldn't figure out the staple part. Thank you bro.

[@joshthetooldude5775]

Dang for $79 that's a must have for people who run Staples all day. I'm probably gonna pick up a Ridgid to Ryobi battery adapter and this tool might have to be on my list of tools to get. Great to see a longer video with details and demonstration!

[@ToolCraze]

Thanks Josh!

[@Rexxthespecialist]

Glad 😊 to see you back with full reviews, I miss your old setup 🙁

[@tanazinn8484]

Thank you for this review... It was REALLY helpful!👍

[@666seilah666]

Long time no see, i love your videos, best reviews always.

[@csimet]

The ability to place a second set of staples on the *top* of the rail is a feature IMHO... allows you to carry an extra rail of staples in the gun while working. I'm pretty sure that was designed on purpose. Nice touch. Just picked one up for $50 (2021 holidays sale). My old hand stapler is going into retirement... my hand hurts after 10 minutes of use with that thing!

[@Jeff-ql3tg]

I purchased this stapler and today I really put to the test. I installed 250 lathe strips to the crawl space sub-floor so that I could install insulation. The span of the joist was 48” so this way I was able to tuck two rows of R30 - 23 and 5/8” insulation. Using 9/16 staples and a 3.0 Ah battery I still had half battery life left when the job was complete. I had to use several staples at each end of the lathe strip to make it secure but the stapler was able to fire rapidly so it wasn’t much of a problem. I used a total of 2025 staples give or take.

[@lawrencesanchez9400]

Thanks for the video couldn’t figure out where to put the staples 😂 you saved me a trip to return I knew some one would post something on it 👍👍👍

[@ToolCraze]

Glad I could help! Also don't forget the manual. That's how I figured it out.

[@catjensen847]

The spike end helps hold the screen in place while you staple, the other end hold wire center and protects the wire by not allowing the staple to go too far.

[@ToolCraze]

thanks!

[@petermiddo]

I would've loved to have seen you drive staples withthe cable attachment. I do run low voltage cable from time to time, so that would be why I would buy one.

[@davefink2326]

That's what I was looking to see. Also, whether it handles rounded staples. My manual Arrow accepts T25 (rounded top) staples no problem.

[@noamavrahamdudai8306]

Very good review Mr tool craze. ..look forward to see you more around man. ..learned a lot from you in the past couple of years ✌✌🖒👍

[@alanmullock381]

Great review Javier!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@nickvarg6426]

brad nails? woud be nice to see what size and type of staples can be used with this tool. thanks

[@ToolCraze]

Hello Nick. It uses arrow T50 style staples. It doesn't use Brad nails. I wrote the full specs of what size staples it uses on the Tool Craze website here toolcraze.net/ryobi-p317-18v-3-8-inch-crown-stapler-honest-review/

[@chengliu872]

I was considering getting the Makita one months ago before this one was announced. I wanted it, but couldn't justify spending nearly $200 on it. This seems to be almost as good and much more palatable price wise.

[@ToolCraze]

yes $200 is too much for a T50 stapler, even Milwaukee's M12 stapler is also $79 right now

[@Domohesketh]

#MakeToolCrazeGreatAgain great to see another full review Javier!

[@c-mt6294]

Thank you for the review, I would like to suggest using manual focus as the AF drifts in and out of focus.

[@ToolCraze]

Thanks, manual focus would still cause out of focus moments when I move the tool in front or behind the focus point. In this case c-af was the better option, the only problem was keeping sure the tool was inside the focus box which was hard to do unless I stood absolutely still.

[@MrKyleDD]

@@ToolCraze So this is getting a bit photographic, but you can adjust your depth of field and aperture to make sure that you have a bit of room to move around, but you still stay relatively in focus. Any basic photography video etc will cover this. I'm not sniping at your video in any way though, it's a common thing that affects lots of peoples videos.

[@teresagriffin]

Thank you! I bought this to do a reupholstery project. Wasn’t sure what to expect. You made it very clear! What type of staples should I buy? Pneumatic or Reg, what size?

[@ToolCraze]

thanks, this is what the product specs list mention: Type of Staples: 3/8 in. Magazine Capacity: 85 Staple Length: 1/4 in. - 9/16 in. So basically T50 style staples in the above sizes. toolcraze.net/ryobi-p317-18v-3-8-inch-crown-stapler-honest-review/

[@suealden]

HELP PLEASE-Just purchased this stapler for an upholstery project. I'm finding that after maybe 4 staples, the trigger locks up. It eventually unlocks by itself but happens after every handful of staples. It's a very simple tool, but I can't figure out what's going wrong.

[@ToolCraze]

sounds like there's a problem with it, I'd send it back the store and get it replaced

[@devilefan]

I have the Milwaukee M 12 version of this and it is awesome...Curious to see how it would fare being the Ryobi is 18 V

[@kyleknight8267]

Do a video on the rotary tool and soldering iron next

[@oscargo29]

Great review. Thanks for sharing👍

[@devilefan]

The Milwaukee does have the window on both sides so you can see the staples...End it has the dry lock feature

[@drright2410]

Bought this stapler and so far so good. The only thing I really really dislike about it is the thickness of the nose of the stapler. Staples staple about 8mm back so stapling anything that's needed to be flush to a corner is almost impossible Reduce the front of that nose by 4-5mm and it would be great

[@Btothewill]

That’s for showing where the staples really went because I refused to read the manual😂👍🏾

[@MrBillagordon]

Thank you!! Wasn't sure how the staples loaded

[@ToolCraze]

👍

[@lb6641]

How does this compare to the Milwaukee M12 crown stapler for double the price?

[@ToolCraze]

m12 is not double the price $80 vs $120 but it is smaller and has bump fire mode and dryfire lockout.

[@777leonf]

Did you try it in real bumb mode, when we just push one time to trigger and staple always on touch the noise to wood?

[@trevormarr8379]

Can i use Porter Cable narrow crown 18GA 1/4" staples?

[@ToolCraze]

nope, only T50 style staples that can be 1/4" tall but not 1/4" wide. the Staples you're talking about are for a different type of stapler

[@MarkHasan-wl6kl]

Good video, but there are many times during the video where the closeups are very blurry!

[@ToolCraze]

Sorry about that

[@Fkidd702]

Just picked it up for 20$ Brand new! Thanks OfferUp!

[@utrutr6013]

$20?! Daaaang.... I need that.

[@darlahandfriends]

can it take 22 gauge staples?

[@rubbingisracing1]

How is the aim, like hanging Christmas lights? Does it have a sight?

[@ToolCraze]

Has a small arrow near the tip on both sides to show you where Staples will be placed. I've never needed pinpoint precision when using any type of hand stapler, whether electric or not so never needed to look at the arrows.

[@richardpenner5515]

Gonna use the Griswald method, eh?

[@hasandilek92]

DOES IT HAVE A BUMP FIRE MODE

[@Fly4Video]

Good video, What length of staples are you driving in?

[@justkurt7716]

I got to get me one of those for my job I insulate duct and that look like it'll be perfect!

[@Pro1er]

This is not an air stapler, it uses a compression spring just like the two previous models. The blue models got a lot of bad reviews because people didn't know how to use them and what they are used for. I have three of the first blue models (P300), and they work great. PS, the first generation shot both T-50 staples and 18Ga brads.

[@ToolCraze]

I apologise. I thought you meant that I said it required an external air compressor to operate. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[@Pro1er]

@@ToolCraze No problem. Have a good morning.

[@ToolCraze]

Thank you, you have a good morning and rest of your day!

[@christoscr]

Hello, Have you tried it severely (wall)? I want to use it on cable !! Thanks

[@dga5396]

How does it work in MDF board ?

[@ToolCraze]

I'm sure it will do just fine but I'll see if I can test out soon and get back to you

[@ricdonato4328]

Thank you for reviewing this Ryobi stapler; always enjoy your videos. One complain, when your video begins I cannot turn down the sound fast enough, why the music comes on BLARING, very annoying.

[@mqq7366]

350 is that to store extra staples?

[@ToolCraze]

It says do not place Staples there

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

Awesome video my brother good job,Hey Ryobi is my type of tools and price Yeaaaaa Boyyyyyyyy later :)

[@82camino96]

There he is!

[@Fkidd702]

This one vs the Milwaukee Anyone have both? I want to get the Milwaukee but it’s 120$ I can get this one for 40$ on offer up

[@ToolCraze]

I have both, besides size, the milwaukee has the features the ryobi is missing like bump fire and might have dryfire lockout. Can't remember the last one exactly as it's been a while since I made this video, I think the ryobi shoots faster than the milwaukee not sure as my memory fails me at times

[@ditndunk]

Comparing manual to battery is like comparing apples to oranges. Use a 1.5 amp battery and it will be lighter at 3 lb 15 oz. The metal clip: one side is for screen wire, the other is for wire. Placed all the way back is out of the way. That way, it will not get lost. I’m sorry but Makita stapler have do not have brushless motors in their staplers (at $199). Neither does Milwaukee at $160. Ryobi $59. At the price, you can purchase almost three of them for what one Makita cost.

[@philipdove1705]

My friends make fun of my Milwaukee because it's so slow like 3 staple per second

[@macstermarston2145]

Looks bigger than the Milwaukee M12 🤔 Oh man now I gotta decide... 😒

[@ToolCraze]

Yes it's less bulky because of the smaller battery.

[@jorgepallares7149]

i wonder how this would do against the Milwaukee

[@ToolCraze]

I have the Milwaukee and will be reviewing it soon

[@loktom4068]

Now you have to found a new univent Ryobi tool for pulling those staples out your work bench.

[@nasukaren]

This isn’t pneumatic - it neither has a built in compressor nor does it use external air. It had a giant electromagnet and spring.

[@kirbyspencer538]

The thing runs all day long on the 1.3 amp-hour battery, why use a 4 amp-hour battery and complain about the weight?

[@ToolCraze]

You misunderstood what I said since I didn't complain about the weight, I simply stated facts. Is it heavier than a traditional manual or pneumatic stapler? Yes, this is a fact. You forgot to mention the part where I said I would gladly take on the added weight of this stapler over a pneumatic since I don't need to run a hose and compressor, and would prefer it over a lighter manual powered stapler since those can tire you out after a while because of the pumping action that's required.

[@Tm19718]

Not a crown stapler. Just a regular stapler.

[@ToolCraze]

You could take your petition to Ryobi themselves and while you're at it, why not bring this up with Makita and Milwaukee since they too call their cordless T50 staplers as 3/8" crown staplers.

[@Tm19718]

Idk what they call it. They are wrong too. It's a t50 stapler.

[@dannymeil3294]

You should never dry run your stapler dummy shortens it’s life
