Ryobi AirStrike P320 and P325 Nail Gun Review - Nail Guns Everywhere!

[@AtomicDairy]

We love our Ryobi nail guns. They are so much fun! We're always building so subscribe to see our regular uploads!

[@patrickjoseph9158]

Dude, these tools are so good. Have used the pin nailer and brad nailer (not one plus) with 1.5ah, 4ah and 6ah batteries. Makes me really appreciate not lugging an air compressor, hose, and gun around all the time. The efficiency of the reset between fires and effectiveness of driving the nail increase with battery size. The 6ah makes it a completely different tool from the 1.5ah.

[@AtomicDairy]

Absolutely agreed on all! We love these guns and use them all the time!

[@MrVisde]

I have a Makita 16ga finish nailer and a Ryobi 18ga brad nailer. I prefer the Ryobi…it never jams on me, it has great battery life, and it feels solid. And I think it was half the price of the Makita equivalent.

[@AtomicDairy]

It really is a great tool!

[@antelmosanchez7334]

You're wife did an amazing job on the shingles, while you were reviewing the 16g nailer. She's awesome!!!

[@AtomicDairy]

She is awesome! And she's a machine when using that nailer!

[@larrynelson7839]

Great Review! Your assistant who "stole" your nail gun and said "nailed it" ----- that was cute!

[@AtomicDairy]

She's the best! And she loves nail guns!

[@csimet]

I have both and use them all the time for home projects. They work well and never jam. I like them so much, I got the 18 GA crown stapler and 23 GA pin nailer. Very cost-effective for home use.

[@AtomicDairy]

Completely agree. We love these nail guns and they keep getting used on new projects.

[@stevelane1956]

We don`t get the Stapler in the UK unfortunately, no idea why. I`ve had my 18g nailer for about 8 years and it`s used almost daily. Never let me down.

[@fijah]

mine jammed. dog shit

I own all the Ryobi nailers from the 3/8" Stapler, 23g. pin nailer, crown stapler, 15g angle nalier, 16g, & the 18 gauge models. HOPEFUL they make a framing nailer LOVE MY RYOBI NAILERS!!!

GREAT tools and very useful. I'm using them a lot more than I thought I would!

[@FreeBlackConservative6859]

Think they have a framing nailer! It comes in 15 and 16 gauge

[@David.M.]

I don't own a nail gun yet, but I thought I would like the battery operated style. Thanks for the review!

[@AtomicDairy]

Ryobi is slowly convincing us to change to battery tools. We've been blown away at the power and long battery life of these nailers. Highly recommend!

[@Metal_seer]

Being juat a DIYer, I'm going to try to use the 16ga., which can fire 2.5 inch nails, avoiding the need for a framing gun. The 18ga. is limited to 2 inch nails, which is too short for 2x3 and 2x4 work. Great video. How did you get your wife to do the work while you film a video? 😊

[@meaganc1aire]

This was a great comparison, thank you! The only think I would have liked to seed added is: Can I use the 18g for trim? Is it still suitable for that? As a smaller person, I would prefer the smaller model.

[@AtomicDairy]

Yes, absolutely. And you can use a lighter battery as well. Just have two of them so you can switch and keep working when one runs out, with one in the tool and one on the charger.

[@Diamond_Hanz]

Best thing about this tool is that I have to bring it back every 29 days

[@colmmagill4097]

I have 3, ,2 18 gauge and 1 16 gauge bought them for $99. Couldn't buy a nailer from another brand as good as them

That was a nice overview and introduction to the nail guns. That disc sander in the back is missing the sanding disc...curious about the story on that.

[@AtomicDairy]

We used up that disc on a project awhile back and haven't stuck a new disc on yet. We have a few in the drawer of that tool stand but just haven't needed them yet.

[@2jrjr]

Thanks for the review!

[@j-dog9800]

I love my Ryobi tools, and now I need a brad nailer and like you video. I see you used the off brand batteries, what is your opinion of them compared to the real Ryobi batteries? Do you suggest them?

[@AtomicDairy]

Those are real Ryobi batteries, but I have heard of other types. I've never used anything else though but others seem to do just fine with them.

[@853185]

Alot of fun waching this video

I don’t know if there is such a thing, but I’m looking for a bit of an all rounder & need your help. I have to do some work in my loft using 4x1 & 4x2, but would also like to use a nail gun when building bird nest boxes so would then use smaller nails, which gun would you suggest to cover both tasks? Thanks & have just subscribed. 👍👍

[@AtomicDairy]

Welcome aboard! And glad you liked the video! If I only got one I would get the 18 gauge gun. We tend to use that one the most and that's the gauge I think would work well on smaller tasks like your bird house. We use it for most things these days.

[@user-markparker]

@@AtomicDairy Thanks for your reply, I bit the bullet & purchased the 18 gauge gun & it works a charm, thanks again. 👍👍

[@AtomicDairy]

I wouldn't recommend it. The hopper is too narrow I believe.

[@timhewitt32]

I wish they make a cordless framing nailer

[@AtomicDairy]

Maybe they'll add one to go with these. They are both great nailers!

[@timhewitt32]

@@AtomicDairy I have the P320 now and I love it - along with a large number of other tools from them.

[@Shadow74342]

Constant jamming of nails, after very little use on a new unit....endlessly frustrating...when it works, its great, but I've had endless downtime. It works 3 times out of 10 in my case. Was quicker to just put in screws or nails by hand into my project. Have to unjam after about 2 -3 nails of use, each time.

[@AtomicDairy]

Wow. Sorry to hear that. We haven't had any problems but maybe we'll see trouble in the future. Hope not.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

If you could only have *_one_* of these nailers, which would you go for, please? I'm a keen DIYer, and upholstery/upcycler and unsure which is the right tool to choose. I'd welcome advice please?! 😊

[@AtomicDairy]

If I only had one I'd go for the lighter weight gauge. It's more useful for the type of work I do. But if I was doing a lot of moulding work I'd go for the 16 gauge. Depends on what you normally build.

[@nosvr_2]

Love it! Thanks for the heads up!

[@AtomicDairy]

Happy to help!

[@chrisj5984]

I'm looking into buying a cordless nail gun (my first nail gun), and still a little confused on which gun to get (18 gauge brad or 16 gauge finish). I would primarily be using the gun for baseboard / quarter round and other trim applications, no fine wood working. I think what has me confused is that I see people install baseboard and trim with a brad nailer when other people say to use a finish nailer. Please help

[@AtomicDairy]

I've used both, depending on the thickness of the trim and what is behind it. If you are going through a thick piece of trim, the sheet rock, and into the stud in the wall you will probably have better luck with the 16 gauge. For thinner work the 18 gauge is less likely to split the trim, and it leaves a smaller hole in the surface.

[@goober698]

So you have plans for that hanger for those tools

[@AtomicDairy]

Sort of. Here is the project and we lay out all the measurements in the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJuwc3apiZ1kpqs

[@Paul_Dalangpan]

I got the P320 and was too happy, until a few minutes into use, less than 30 or 40 nails, it just stopped working. I checked everything 15 times... may be more... used three different fresh actual Ryobi batteries, and I couldn't get it to work. Drove back to Home Depot and did a swap. Second one seems to be working better, but several times, still, on the second unit, it just decides to stop working. Second unit at least has come back on line and I am able to keep working on our project. I was so upset, that I actually broke out the manual and read it. I am not seeing, at all, what I am doing wrong. I looked through the troubleshooting page and its a fat N/A for me. hmmmm .... so on the back, I am suspecting that maybe, that knob should never be touched; leave in the middle? Wait- I tried that too. I love this thing. I think when it works, it's a game changer for us. I have many Ryobi tools, but prior to today, I have never, EVER, had any malfunction with any of them. Would appreciate your insight on this. No, the tool never got a chance to get hot. Fresh real actual Ryobi batteries. No nail james. I tried with the plastic nozzle cover on and off. Tried both 1 1/2" and 2". Checked for jams obsessively. Played with that gray twisty knob thing up front and the gray twisty thing in the back too. Thought I was going crazy so my sister tried everything I did also- you know- just in case it's just me.

[@Paul_Dalangpan]

Should it be sensitive to angle of use? I am thinking that should not matter. It would be a shame if this thing can ONLY be used at a 90 degree / straight up and down position.

[@AtomicDairy]

Is it possible you got two bad tools? We've never seen that happen with ours even after a couple hours of use.

[@Paul_Dalangpan]

@@AtomicDairy this was a while back. Thanks for the follow up. I disassembled the firing pin a assemble, applied gun oil, and manually moved the plunger in and out a few times for the oil to lube the cylinder. It works perfectly now.

[@AtomicDairy]

Outstanding! Glad to hear you fixed it and I will remember your fix if my guns start acting up!

[@schererstyle413]

Don’t say bump fire ATF will take it away 😂😂

[@eme1468]

What would you suggest for outdoor heavy use, I know paslode have first fix for outdoor use and second for minor work (I think I got that right)

[@AtomicDairy]

Well that is a framing nailer, which is a few steps up from our brad nailers. But Paslode has a great product that can do the job. For lighter work like we do like moulding attachment and box construction the Ryobis work great.

[@johnotoole5786]

Im a dewalt guy but this trim gun best product ryobi makes

[@AtomicDairy]

Absolutely agree!

[@Crypt0dave]

What gun is for 1st fix and what one os second fix

[@theokalentzis7424]

Just wondering if you can comment on nailing moulding with the 320. You mentioned that the 325 worked well but is the 320 equally good? Don't really feel like spending the difference for the 325 personally.

[@AtomicDairy]

I have nailed moulding with both and had no issues. I prefer heavier nails for thicker moulding but both guns do a great job.

[@louislandi938]

A lot of the Ryobi haters never owned or even used one.

[@robenvilbar6113]

How much was the maximum brad nail use for 18g p320 mate?

[@AtomicDairy]

If I understand your question, it can fire 105 nails before it runs out. In actual use we tend to put fewer brads in it because most of our jobs don't require that many nails.

[@sullykls1]

which one will work best for baseboard molding in my house? dont need anything more fancy

[@AtomicDairy]

We use the 16 gauge for baseboard stuff. Works great and does not split the half rounds.

[@nodoubt46able]

18 gauge, 2 inch, is more than plenty to hold a simple piece of base on, and the hole is twice as small...i use a brad nailer for all my trim, unless its 3/4 of thicker

[@zuuzuka]

Can we use the nail gun on bricks or concrete?

[@AtomicDairy]

I have, with mixed success. Probably depends on how dense the brick/concrete is at your site.

[@zuuzuka]

@@AtomicDairy thanks for that! I really need a cordless nail gun that can do bricks.

[@NerfRules22]

Can you only use finish nails in these? I need to use nails with a slightly bigger head

You should be able to if they come in the right gauge.

[@eyeonart6865]

Which one for garage door weatherstriping?

[@AtomicDairy]

I'd use the P320 Brad Nailer but both could work for that job.

[@AtomicDairy]

We tend to use what works, but we don't build stuff all day every day. These nailers work great for us and we haven't had any problems. In fact, they are so easy to use that I've put moulding in places I wasn't planning to, just because it was made so easy by these machines.
