Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice! Purchased this Brad nailer to replace another brand which had died on me. I used it recently for some trim work around the house--have not put 1000's of nails through this nailer as of yet, but I did put quite a few-- so far I am impressed--I have not experienced any jamming of nails. It's lightweight and I like the swiveling hose connection(gotta fight it a bit to plug in a charged airline, but no big deal). I really like the see through nail magazine to see exactly how much is loaded and what size. I own some other brand name nailers and this is Brad nailer is thus far competing with the best of them--would recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Finally a product that lived up to its reviews! I received the jailer super fast from Home Depot. I have only had inexpensive nailer and have avoided using them because of the depth errors and false shots. I was scheduled to do a project where I was using quality wood products and would be in view all the time so I decided to purchase a better nailer. The reviews for the Rigid nailer where excellent so I decided to purchase one. The price was not inexpensive but was not expensive either. Now that I have the nailer I would have paid double it as I am super satisfied and it was key to a great final product! The depth setting are accurate and the extra nose guards are handy also. Thx!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really like this nailer After a day of use, I can say I really like this nailer. It's a feather light compared to my older nailer. It's easier to use all day and doesn't pull on your belt when hanging on your side. It has never misfired since purchase and it will stop firing all together when low on brads. My old nailer would just shoot holes in the wood when it ran out. The rear exhaust is great, no more exhaust blowing dust in your face. It has a composite nail clip so the brads are delivered smoothly without binding. The rapid fire option was appreciated and saved time. This nailer was quieter than my old nailer and I don't know how I put up with the old one for so long. I plan on getting the finish nailer shortly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Brad nailer This Brad nailer always gives great results. This is the 2nd purchase of a ridgid Brad nailer. My first one had seen a lot of use and was stolen. I bought another one but haven’t had a chance to use it much. I never ever had an issue with my first nailer and I don’t ever recall needing to clear a jam. The nails sink consistently. I did recover my stolen Brad nailer and I have to give credit to needing to register the ridgid tools for the LSA. I was able to report to the police the serial numbers of all my stolen ridgid tools. They were all recovered and returned to me

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Brad Nailer I work full time in a Cabinet Shop and also do some work of my own at home. At work we use the "higher end" nailers, but at home I tend to lean towards the tools with the same capacity but a little more economical. After much research, I found the Ridgid Nailer to be just what I was looking for. It fires the brads straight and true, sinks them to the proper depth and continues to do so, shot after shot. I own other Ridgid products and am very satisfied, especially with the service agreements they provide.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Broke after 7 months use I bought this nailer 7 months ago. Used it on site off and on and loved it. Clean nail holes. Loved the feature that it doesn't fire when the cartridge is empty. Just a great little tool. Then the safety started intermittently blocking fire. There's a small plastic piece in the trigger that slips periodically and won't let the tool fire. Took into the store and of course it wouldn't act up. Did it again as soon as I had it back on site. Called the 800 number and to have it serviced I'd have to drive 30 mins to a dealer with brutal reviews or 45 minutes to one with great reviews. By the time I factor in time & travel, there's no point. Disappointed the life of this tool was so short. I baby my stuff, it wasn't thrown around like most contractor tools will be. Great way to fill the landfill.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Don’t waste your money Springs on the safety mechanism are to strong and it binds up making it not able to fire. Should be a simple press on your work to be able to press the trigger and fire the nail. But You have to press it so hard against the wood it marks it, and ends up moving your work cause the spring pushes back so hard before you can even press the trigger. Probably good for baseboards where you can use filler. But horrible for fine woodworking. Last time I try anything rigid. Garbage..

Rated 5 out of 5 by from nice brad nailer I bought my Ridgid 18 g brad nailer about 12 or 13 yrs back and have used it a fair amount with no issues at all. It leave one nail each and every time, no more, no less. It has never had a jam excluding twice which in both occasions it was due to a hard object and was easily resolved by flipping the lever at the nose to clear. Used an Bostitch 18 g brad and it jammed or miss fired and sent multiples out.

Not sure about the nail size in the description. I assume it can hold 1 inch and up to 2 1/8" nails. Am I correct in my assumption?

When there are no nails in the nailer does it still fire blanks or lets me know when the chamber is empty.

Asked by: neonbiker
Hi Neonbiker, The nailer does not fire when the clip is empty there is a stop fire mechanism to avoid marking the material.

Hey Georg, It does not fire staples, you would need a staple gun for that. Cheers, Ridgid Canada
