Ryobi 18V Airstrike 15 Gauge Angled Finish Nailer P330 Review

[@iminabrons]

One of the best reviews that I've seen on KZbin. It's a shame other people doing reviews aren't doing their homework and not writing a script beforehand.

[@ToolCraze]

+i minabrons thanks

[@michaelhippenhammer2246]

Great review. I have the brad nailer and staple guns and love them. I need this one to complete my cordless Home Performance and finish carpentry business. I bought the stapler for stringing insulation which is a very intensive job. I used 1 of 4 bars on the battery for the whole house, worked perfect every shot! And saved 1.5 hours labor time from not having to set up a compressor and hose. My solar system just keeps all my batteries charged all the time.

[@ToolCraze]

Very nice, I'd like the stapler some day for my woodworking

[@szakhem]

At 4:02 i recommend removing the battery before touching the tip to avoid an accidental nail in one’s hand! I was nervous for you…

[@kpotter7018]

Good Review. You mentioned the belt clip only being on the right side. But there is belt on the left side as well at the bottom of the left nail case.

[@BhutJolokias]

Good review dude. I bought the 18-gauge nailer to redo the trim in my living room. Been thinking about the 15-gauge to take on some bigger projects.

[@ToolCraze]

+BhutJolokias thanks

[@NoirHammer]

Great review! I didn't even know they came out with a 15-gauge nailer. This should come in handy.

[@ToolCraze]

+NoirHammer thanks

[@VideoNOLA]

@@ToolCraze I wonder why Ryobi never came out with a legit framing nailer by now?

[@standunitedorfall6394]

I just bought the 18 gage brad nailer airstrike. I decided to replace the air compressor dependent tools with the new stuff ryobi makes. This video helped me decide on the frame nailer. Ty. Merry Christmas

[@ToolCraze]

Thanks. Ryobi makes great nailers. Though they don't have a cordless framing nailer yet

[@R__K]

Just now seeing this after getting nearly every other Ryobi tool... this would be the missing one. Thanks for informational review. 👍

[@DianaMillerthegirlcreative]

Thanks for the review. It gave me just enough info to learn how it works and use it for the first time. :)

[@Metal_seer]

Just ordered one, and a box of 2.5"nails. Should be here tomorrow. As a DIYer who will only use this on occasional projects, I hope to use it in lieu of a framer., which I can't justify for the rare times I need a framer gun. The nails will cosr a little more and shorter nails may be harder to find.

[@michaelwilkens6865]

Not sure if they redesigned it, but now you CAN install the belt clip on the other side of the tool for right-handed people. There is a spot on the magazine to screw the belt clip onto the left side of the tool for easy clipping to your belt with your right hand.

[@ToolCraze]

Actually it had that ability all along, so it was my error in saying it was only good for one side. My bad

[@Maggieismydog]

This gun is so good, just bought it and built a fence. Love it!

[@JohnAdams-wd1ts]

You built a fence with a finish nailer??

[@curtiszbikowski]

@@JohnAdams-wd1ts It was a small fence 😁

[@tomd7515]

You've been doing a great job on these reviews. Thanks.

[@ToolCraze]

Tom D thanks Tom glad you like these videos

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

That thing is huge. Wow. Next they'll be coming out with a smaller version of it. Great video!

[@ToolCraze]

Love2boat92 thanks, a smaller version would be great. My guess is that once all the brands come out with their own cordless battery powered nailers, the next move will be to shrink them. I'm all ready hoping for 12v nailers, I know it might take a few years but I think its possible

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Tool Craze I never thought about 12v nailers. That's a great idea.

[@QuickCashy]

+Love2boat92 why?

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Jay Walt Because you never see a 12 volt nailer.

[@QuickCashy]

what would be the advantages compared to a 18v?

[@mjwoodcrafts1156]

love the previous version use it all the time

[@GodwouldvoteRed]

I totally didn't know to take the rubber tip off. Now I can sink my nails. Thanks bud!

[@whiskeycreek4038]

You know, that is a pretty sweet machine. I might need to think again about ryobi.

[@michaeleberhardt2416]

Like the review. Just a note, there is a mounting hole for the belt holder on the end of the nail magazine.

[@mikez1569]

Great review Javier!! These ryobi nailers are really making a great impression with me I have a cheap set that I bought at HD like 2yrs ago but I'm always lazy to pull air compressor our let it fill. These are great if I c some good deals I'm definitely jumping on them. Thanks Bro!

[@ToolCraze]

Mike Z you should give them a try. The cordless convenience is great not having to be tethered with a hose to a compressor.

[@Kdog1219Vids]

Good review. I was looking to learn how to use it and you did a great job! Thanks.

[@DirtyBird]

Nice review. Picked this up a few weeks ago to complete my set of the four Ryobi AirStrike tools. One small error in your review: You can attach the belt clip on either side. When attaching the clip to the left side, the clip mounts to the hole at the end of the nail magazine.

[@ToolCraze]

Schtuperman thanks, I made the correction a while back and you can see it on a desktop pc as an annotation. Unfortunately the annotations don't show up on mobile

[@DirtyBird]

Tool Craze LOL yeah I watched your review on my phone. Sorry I didn't realize you had caught it. Damn I'm running out of One+ tools to buy. Just a few more and I'll have them all! Now if they would just bring the green trim router, planer, & Corner Cat to the USA. New model of the SDS hammerdrill is out in Europe too.

[@ToolCraze]

Schtuperman no problem bro. It's one if those things KZbin needs to work on. That or giving us creators the ability to edit videos after they've been posted. I was looking at some of those models, the router sounds great and I was looking for a cordless planer. I can't wait till the new rotary hammer comes here

[@DirtyBird]

Not sure if you have seen this but this is the new SDS Hammerdrill. Its much more compact than the old model, has LED lights, offers a pure hammer mode for chisels, and looks like it will have the infinitely adjustable handle of its predecessor.. Also has the design of the newest series tools. - www.amazon.co.uk/Ryobi-R18SDS-0-Cordless-Rotary-Hammer/dp/B00VEU9JZC/ref=sr_1_2?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1436183761&sr=1-2&keywords=Ryobi+SDS

[@ToolCraze]

Schtuperman I did, I did an article about it on my website a while back. Looks great for a compact 5/8" rotary hammer

[@chengliu8793]

I have this, the 18 ga. brad nailer and the 18 ga. narrow crown stapler and they are all great. If they would make a framing nailer (preferably 21 degree) it would buy it as soon as the funds became available.

[@ToolCraze]

a cordless framing nailer would be great, so far Dewalt 20V is the only option if you want battery only

[@johnjingleheimersmith9259]

@@johnjingleheimersmith9259 yes, I wrote about them back in December. Check them out on my website toolcraze.net/ryobi-cordless-18v-framing-nailers/

[@Slimey78951]

Great review. You answered all my questions regarding this tool.

[@RyanH0809]

My biggest concern with these is their size... the pneumatic guns are significantly smaller. In tight areas, i'm afraid my investment will be null. Good review!! I'm not one of those tool snobs who thinks Ryobi doesn't deserve a look. I don't make money with nailers, so I can't justify the cost of the DeWalt guns, to match the battery platform I am the most invested in.

[@Boozie50]

Just bought one on Amazon. Thanks for the video!!👍

[@MrKen-wy5dk]

Thank you for such a clear, concise explanation of this tool. Well done.

[@ryanh.9799]

[@artisanwoodfloorsdann8802]

I love these nailer great review! I got the rigid and dewalt rigid is the best . sad part is 3 months ago it just stop working. can you make a video on solving the no shooting problems?

[@ToolCraze]

Thanks! Unless you know how to fix, the best thing to do is to send them in for warranty.

[@robanderson4111]

Good review, I liked to see the firing performance. However I don't like the delay, I have a 18 ga nailer with a similar delay and it is annoying, it is much easoier to set nails properly without that delay. So I will stick with my small portable air compressor and finish nailer.

[@jacklucas7265]

How does it do on hardwoods? Doing finish work on an older house where the Douglas fir or Southern yellow pine has -dried and hardened up is like driving in to hardwoods. Testing on a fresh semi dry piece of 2x4 isn't much of a test.

[@ToolCraze]

I tried it on a solid block of red oak and it nails 2 inch nails below the surface, how's that for performance?

[@christianivangarciaruiz7029]

what kind of nails used? the gun marking nails is? or where I can buy?

[@Cautious_Cuz]

Theres a spot on the bottom of the magazine on the left side for the beltclip.

[@ToolCraze]

***** good eye, a comment has been posted in the video for the updated info

[@hearthtribe7260]

Tool Craze I see no comment in the video updating the info about the belt clip.

[@TheWiseOldChinaman]

Thanks for the great review - just a quick question: Can this 15-gauge nailer also handle 16-gauge and 18-gauge nails too?

[@ToolCraze]

+TheWiseOldChinaman you're welcome! No it can't

[@francesco3207]

Just got one. No where in the manual does to state recommended battery. I have 2 Amp 18V and seemed to struggle not no info in manual

[@singlefather01]

It was great when this first came out. It was better than Milwaukee. Now Milwaukee stepped up the gen 2 nailers. Got one. By the way, he holds the nailer like it’s a light tool. But it is heavy.

[@ToolCraze]

I think its pretty light considering I don't have to haul and drag a compressor and hose around

[@Litlrasculdelia]

Thanks for sharing. Your videos are really helpful.

[@ToolCraze]

you're welcome

[@CashJohnston]

Nice review. Looks much bigger than the Miluakee, but, the price is less too. So depending on how much you use it, there is a trade-off.

[@ToolCraze]

Thanks. Yes the Ryobi is huge but it is still an excellent nailer

[@ketolifestyle68]

which one can i use to put pine slats on a wood fence,... i bought the 18g brad nailer...

[@wabug8423]

Hi there , so i have this nailer (Ryobi p330) and im getting a second dent in the wood just below where the nail has been driven. It is a small horizontal rectangle no bigger than the nail hole itself. It started doing it about halfway up a 10 ft wall that i am nailing shiplap onto. I called ryobi and she had me decrease the air pressure and then put it back up but not all the way. I didnt see much improvement. She said if that didnt fix it i woud have to take in for service. Is this user error or do you of something else in nail guns that may cause this?

[@crystalv3112]

Another great review 😁

[@ToolCraze]

Crystal Valenta thanks Crystal

[@dandamangamin443]

How is it power wise? Like for building walls and such?

[@Securengineer]

Not to be picky but the battery was installed, the gun was loaded and your finger was on the trigger at 4:20 when you put your hand in front of the nailer to remove the tip. Not prudent.

[@ToolCraze]

If you ever try one of these out, you'll find out that you have to press the tip firmly to fire the nailer. Had I pushed the tip into the gun with my hand while removing the tip, then we'd have something to worry about. Thanks for the concern though

[@AdventureMan-kx3dr]

Really cool and very cost effective to use on the job

[@bothuhead1973]

Great stuff! Coiled and framer coming soon?

[@ToolCraze]

John Xiong thanks John, not sure but that would be great

[@Moretofollowover]

I have this thing. it is really inconsistent in its ability to drive the whole nail in. 64mm is a no go for going into pine too.

[@ZunarZulfiqar]

Well done review!!!

[@ToolCraze]

[@proulx1q]

[@snowwny]

Is Brad nailer more suitable than 15 gauge nailer for window trims?

[@ToolCraze]

Either can do the job just fine but are smaller and lighter and the nails are smaller which require less patching

[@Denvermorgan2000]

I have the 16 gauge I really like it.

What is the degree of the nail I need for this gun?

They are the wrong angle. I'm really frustrated.. Does Ryobi make their own nails? Couldn't find them anywhere, if they do... If you can help, I'd really appreciate it!

+Everywonlies degree angle isn't listed on the gun but it seems 34 degrees is correct. I bought my nails from hf and they fit fine and were also listed as 34 degree like your dewalt nails.
