They are releasing a Ridgid version of the airstrike nailer it will cost a little more but you would get the lifetime service agreement with it. Ryobi has a 16 gauge angle nailer out now though and Ryobi has cheap battery deals all the time. My friend has the 18ga nailer and stapler and loves them. He fixes campers and loves that he does not have to deal with compressors anymore

Ya i would only use it a little bit for little things here and there could i use the ryobi for putting up cidar sideing? i.have my paslode frameing gun and love it but at work all we use is pnuematic
I’ve had the Airstrike Brad nailer for about a year now and it comes in really handy. The 4 amp batteries really last forever with the nailer too.
Hey guys! Sorry, been out doing stuff downstairs and in the yard. I am going to get this nailer @torontotoolman and by the way…. WELCOME to the forum!!! I’ve got the Ryobi Airtrike Brad nailer and was using it a lot last night. I don’t have any other Ryobi tools but the brad is one well designed machine and I’ve played around with the finish nailer. Ryobi really hit the nail on the head (pardon the pun) with the Brad so I think theys gonna sink steel hard core yo with this finish gun. I’d get it without any reservations. Money well spent if your looking for a cordless alternative. I base this on my experience with my Airstrike Brad which I imagine has only improved with the inception of the finish gun.

Thanks for the welcome im happy i found a place were i can talk tools and thank for the info i thino il be grabbing the airstrike in the near future
Good for you @torontotoolman! You won’t be disappointed, I’ve kind of given up waiting for the Dewalt finish gun and already love my brad so I’m more like than not getting this one plus the stapler. Great performers with lots of neat little features.
I’m sure the Dewalt might be smaller lighter and have better features, but It’s going to be much more expensive. The other cool thing about Ryobi is they just have other weird tools that are super handy to have like cordless sanders to a tire infiltrator.
I got one on that past HD deal and its pretty BA

Here’s Woodstockva’s video of the machine….
I seen that video plus the one on t.i.a thats what first got me interested and wondering about it thanks i most likely would get the ryobi over dewalt just.for price im by no means a.finish carpenter so i wont be using it all the time just i like to have the tools when i need them and i will need it at some points and for some projects/jobs
Oh and one more thing! I was on HD and noticed they now have an 15* ANGLED finish nailer! But pricier at $229 but that’s what I’m using for my air gun Dewalt. Sounds like THATS what I’m getting!
