So, I had several pneumatic nailers from 15 to 23 gauge. I mainly used the 18 gauge, and I ended up buying a Ryobi 18 gauge cordless nailer. I tested it for a few weeks, and it was working great. I decided to sell all of my pneumatic tools and switch to cordless. What could go wrong! It's only a brad nailer!
Well for the last couple of weeks my wife has been using the Ryobi, and she stated that at times the tool doesn't shoot nails even after the tool cycles. So, I went out there and indeed the tools cycles, but does not fire nails. I ended up calling Ryobi customers support, and the tech informed that at times the magnetic mechanism stick. He explained how to fix the problem, but the issues has continued since. I was told to send the tool for repairs only to find that it will take up to 12 weeks to get it back.
I mainly have Milwaukee and Dewalt tools, and the longest I've ever had one of these tools out for repair is 1 week. My surge Milwaukee impact drill was not working properly, and Milwaukee sent me a new one as soon as I sent out mine. The same happened with my Dewalt hammer drill...it started leaking grease, and Dewalt sent me a new one.
The tool in question is the Ryobi P320 18 gauge brad nailer. It was $100 dollars cheaper than the Milwaukee/Dewalt, but now I wish I had spend the money. Now, I am looking to spending more $$$ since I need it to complete my home improvement projects and my wife needs it for her part time business.
I was wondering if anyone else one here has had any experience with this tool? Have you had any issues? If yes, what did you do? What was the outcome?
