Ryobi One+ 18V Cordless 3/8" Crown T50 Stapler Review

Home Depot: homedepot.sjv.io/e5PNz
The Ryobi P317 18-Volt ONE+ Cordless Compression Drive 3/8 in. Crown Stapler shoots 1/4"-9/16" T50 staples. It's great for upholstery, low voltage wiring installs, chicken wire fence installs, etc.

[@doyen86]

I bought the Milwaukee first because I'm a fanboy. Came back for the Ryobi because I have work to do. Still amazed at this thing outperforming my Milwaukee. Thanks for the review.

[@mikeshiroi3940]

Excellent video, exactly what I needed to make my decision. Why can’t more people make no nonsense videos like this??!!

[@thestig007]

Great review, I was really impressed with how it was able to staple through that metal corner bead.

[@tim.s.johnson]

Thanks so much! Just bought this stapler and your video helped me out. I didnt realize the preloaded staples when i bought it werent actually in the right place. I needed to take them out and load from the bottom 😂. Also the metal guard in front was throwing me off and took me a while to realize i had to move it. Thanks for explaining what it is and why it’s there.

[@blakrootz]

Very helpful, I just bought this item today and I can say I am a person who doesn't like to read manuals and this video made it very clear where the staples go...lol.

[@moemoes5989]

Thank you for the video. I watched your video and I decided to go with Ryobi one today. I just finished my first project in the outside deep freeze. It work great the cold ice didn't even kill the battery. I'm 1 up on the good stuff now. Thanks.

You can store an extra strip of staples on the back of the magazine slide also which is a great feature.

[@CaptainSuperFantastic]

Can you really? When I have the stapler full of staples the extra set on the back of the magazine keeps it from pushing in. Maybe I am doing it wrong?

great video, i am a Milwaukee guy but i will be adding this stapler to replace the m12 unit i use now.

[@DoresoomReviews]

I still prefer the M12 for general use, but when it comes to heavy duty applications, it can't keep up with the Ryobi. So if I had to pick one, I'd go Ryobi. But in the mean time, I'm planning on hanging on to both.

[@JTerry-zl5un]

Good review, I also like the "Ryobi One" 18 volts 3/8" Crown T50 Stapler gun because it delivers substantial value and performance characteristics. Indeed I enjoy checking out battery-operated tools that can make my tasks more enjoyable. Who says that work has to be a drag.

I have both m12 and ryobi and i like ryobi more. The depth wheel, speed of operation, and power are all superior to the m12.

Agree, the depth adjustment is waaaay better on the Ryobi - that was my main complaint about the Milwaukee actually. Thanks for watching, it's been a crazy journey to 10K!

[@alexgarcia3900]

I'm buying one!!!!! I mostly buy dewalt but I do have a lot of ryobi stuff like flashlights, lamps, fans and a couple of tools I know I'm don't use much, and I gotta say ryobi has a lot of good stuff. They come out with lots of stuff that other brands don't have. I bought the 18v 18ga finish nailer and I love that thing. It was before dewalt and ridgid even came out with one, still kicking so I'm not upgrading. Even though all my coworkers give me a ton of crap when I bring a ryobi tool on the jobsite lol. Everyone actually likes the finish nailer. No compressor and no hose :-)

[@talleysuehohlfeld3959]

I've used only manual staple gun for things like attaching fabric to a chair seat, etc. My hands are small, so my Arrow T50 and the DeWalt are hard to use. Plus, no matter how much of my weight I put on the tool, I NEVER get the staple to fire all the way into the wood; I have to hammer it in. Even if it's a short-leg staple. This is going on my list.

[@DoresoomReviews]

​@@DoresoomReviews Yeah me as well, the only one I have used that does half the time is the Bostitch Power Crown hand stapler.

[@jeber21]

I wonder if it will shoot the power crown staples?? that would be an awesome combo if it could.

[@Jay-sg2ww]

Good review. Seems like the Ryobi beat the Milwaukee. Two Ryobi tools I own now are this stapler and the Ryobi brad nailer. Both better than Milwaukee. Though Milwaukee looks like they are announcing a new Brad nailer at NPS which I'm sure will be next level.

[@DoresoomReviews]

Thanks! Yeah, the Ryobi stomped the Milwaukee in terms of raw power. The depth adjustment is also much easier to use on the Ryobi, provided it doesn't break. The Milwaukee is lighter and smaller though, has dry fire lockout, and will really save on trigger finger fatigue if you're shooting hundreds of staples at a time with its bump fire mode. I should probably do a head to head video too!

[@djxxxplicit]

Just got this tool and it's awesome.

[@oscaralejandro3228]

Is it as good as the air strike staple gun ?

[@djxxxplicit]

@@oscaralejandro3228 never used the Air Strike staple gun but believe that one is more powerful and can shoot a deeper staple. This one should do the trick with most staple-related jobs.

[@jdthomas1984]

I'm thinking I'll get one for installing vapor barrier. We do high energy efficiency construction and I don't like the inconsistency of how manual staplers sometimes fire. I want a clean, predictable staple going through the vapor barrier with minimum tearing and hole size. Looks like this should do it!

I found the Ryobi One 18v Staple gun to be of great value and quality, its among my favorite tools.

[@ricdonato4328]

Very nice review. Question, when you were doing the Pine test what power setting was it on. Looking in the video I see the slide at max, however with the slide broken was it truly set to max?

[@DoresoomReviews]

Yeah, it was set to max.

[@surgeonburning1389]

Gotta love ryobi Milwaukee’s little brother

[@DoresoomReviews]

Little brother shows up big brother in raw power in this case! I do prefer the Milwaukee for most uses though, due to the bump fire mode.

[@Pro1er]

Nice review Nate. Don't feel bad about possibly breaking the depth gauge indicator, I have three of the old blue staplers and on every one of them the depth knob will turn past the max setting without any effort (there is no hard stop), so it looks like Ryobi hasn't addressed that issue with the new version either. The toothed foot is for stretching screen tight when stapling. I hope this green model gets better reviews than the blue model that Ryobi dropped from their line-up a few years back. There was nothing wrong with the blue model, it's just that this is a tool that has a slight learning curve but does a fantastic job once mastered.

[@DoresoomReviews]

Thanks! I don't think this one has much of a learning curve, but then again I think I've used 3 or 4 other models of corded and cordless T50 staplers so maybe I'm just used to them.

[@Pro1er]

@@DoresoomReviews I know it sounds crazy, but crown staplers do take a bit of finesse to master, otherwise some staples will either crumple or not get driven in all the way. For me, the air crown staplers provide the best results, but I've been using crown staplers for several decades and have learned to use even the hand operated ones with good results.

[@devilefan]

The Ryobi is an 18 V the Milwaukee is a 12 V so it should be able to drive a little better however the M 12 has a rapid fire feature that the Ryobi doesn’t have....Like anything else it comes down to the application you are using it for

[@jeffreydavis8826]

Well Done. Video shows boxes of staples. If you could edit to show screen shot of types of staples it accepts (brand/size) that would be helpful.

[@DoresoomReviews]

Any brands' T50 style staples will work. It can handle that type of staples ranging anywhere from 1/4" to 9/16" long. I've used Arrow and Stanley brands with it so far with no problems.

[@frozenwalkway]

You the man

[@777leonf]

Thanks for the review, do you remember how thin the metal corner is 0.3 mm or even thinner? And what kind of staples do you use, are these seasoned staples? And yet, on the stapler printed 'compression drive' is there a air compressor inside or does the compression spring like in milwaukee?

[@DoresoomReviews]

I don't remember how thin the corner bead was - I think it was just the standard option that Home Depot or Lowes carried. I used regular Arrow and Stanley staples with it. Some had chisel tips, and others were flat. The internals for this are just a compression spring, no air involved.

[@777leonf]

@@DoresoomReviews thank so much! As I think about Rayobi, because very small for air compressor but good work, one moment strange why no rapid fire (bump mode)...

[@bobmiller4836]

Awesome

[@talleysuehohlfeld3959]

I sort of wish you'd shown it stapling through upholstery fabric (as if you were recovering a seat cushion or sofa. and when would you use a medium setting, and how well did that work? (I'm not sure I'd want to embed the staple in the pine)

[@DoresoomReviews]

It does great with upholstery fabric and batting. It adjust pretty well on the lower end so you're not burying the staple too.

[@webugn2]

I'm a 56 old dyi lady. I just bought this staple gun a few months ago to staple plastic on my chickens coops during winter. I'm amazed at how easy it is and how my hands don't ache like when I used the manual kind. Well worth the $99 I spent on the staple gun , battery and charger. It's a great investment in the health of my hands!! Thanks for the video. Who has time to read a manual? I'm a hands on learner. Thanks also for the "safety nub" tip. I thought it was jammed 😂 Good feature as I may have shot a chicken by mistake. Bawk! 🐔

[@muufcem8962]

Hey thanks for the product review.I was wondering if this stapler would work well with sitars carpet instillation ?

[@DoresoomReviews]

I don't think T-50 staples will have a strong enough hold for carpet installation.

[@muufcem8962]

@@DoresoomReviews I was referring to the tool though not the staple type if I understood your reply

[@DoresoomReviews]

This only shoots T-50 staples though. So therefore if the staples aren't suitable for carpet installation, then it logically follows that this tool isn't either.

[@doyen86]

I have the older Airstrike Narrow Crown stapler by Ryobi. Aside from size, do you know the key differences between this unit and the older one?

[@DoresoomReviews]

The main difference is that they shoot different staples. This one's 3/8" crown T50 staple won't have the holding power of a longer 1/4" narrow crown staple. Also, this stapler works with a compression spring, while the Airstrike uses a gas cylinder.

[@ajdizzle4shizzle]

Great review! Do you know if the Ryobi stapler uses the same internal firing mechanism as the M12 stapler?

[@DoresoomReviews]

I don't think it's exactly the same, but they are both spring powered.

[@ajdizzle4shizzle]

@@DoresoomReviews Do you have a preference between the two?

[@DoresoomReviews]

For everyday use I prefer the Milwaukee. It's more compact and has a bump fire mode. I still keep the Ryobi around just in case I need it since it has more power. If I had to pick just one though, it might actually be the Ryobi for that reason.

This Ryobi doesn't have bump mode. You have to release and pull the trigger for each staple.

[@DoresoomReviews]

What exactly is yours not doing? Is it firing but not shooting a staple? Is it not sinking them? Gonna need more details in order to help. My only guess right now is that if it's not firing you may have the staples loaded wrong. And it should be able to fire in any orientation.

I finally pulled up a video after not figuring out why mine wasn't ejecting the staples and giving up over a year ago to see I was inserting the staples on the wrong side of the chamber -_-

How about the airstrike version what’s the difference? Thanks

[@DoresoomReviews]

The Ryobi Airstrike P360 narrow crown stapler is much more powerful and for completely different applications. That one shoots thicker 18 gauge narrow crown staplers up to 1-1/2" long. This one shoots lighter duty T50 staples up to 9/16" long.

[@jayred487]

Can u use the rounded staples with it for the wiring?

Since the review, have you found anything that compares to the Ryobi for the money?

No, but I haven't really been looking. I've also seen the M12 stapler on sale for the same price a few times, and since I own that one and it has bump fire, I use it 99% of the time. I still keep the Ryobi around in case I find something the M12 can't handle though.
