The Ryobi R18GN18-120S is a cordless 18V brad nailer that fires 18G (Ø 1.2 mm) nails in lengths of 15-50 mm. AirStrike technology with built-in air compression gives maintenance-free operation without an air hose or compressor.
The nailer has sequential and single-fire modes, tool-free depth adjustment and a tool-free jam release for clearing blockages. The magazine holds 105 nails and an indicator shows a low nail level.
What makes the Ryobi brad nailer R18GN18-120S a strong choice for work without an air hose and compressor?
Because AirStrike compresses the air inside the tool itself, neither an air hose nor a compressor is needed, and operation is maintenance-free. Grip-light with dual LED lighting switches on when the handle is gripped, and the belt hook keeps the nailer close at hand.
The nailer does not fire when the magazine is empty. Tool-free depth adjustment prevents damage to surfaces, and two nose guards are supplied to protect the work surface from marks.
