230

This is a promo kit. Brad nailer is $279 on its own.

Last time we had a deal on this nailer it was $244 back in Jan 2024, and this deal is better than that one was as you get a battery & charger. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/825011

Listed as a limited time deal on Ryobi's website. https://www.ryobi.com.au/products/brad-nailers/18v-one-18ga-…

Not a ton of stock at time of posting. https://bunnings.youinstock.com.au/search/1106516

I have this nailer and while I haven't used it a heap, it has been excellent so far and has plenty of power. Yet to even have a misfire.

  • Poor Brad

    • But he nailed it.

  • Shame I bought the Ozito a couple of months ago. Maybe if I can find the receipt I can swap

  • Can someone who knows more than me tell me how much of a step up it would be from my Ozito 2 in 1? https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-pxc-18v-cordless-2-in-1-co…

    • Not used that Ozito, but I know it does use a spring & weight mechanism like the very first Ryobi from years ago that I used to own. The difference between that and the one in this post is huge. Way more power and almost no recoil.

      This Ryobi like almost all modern cordless nailers (Dewalt & Paslode are the main exceptions) use an air cylinder, some use a sealed nitrogen filled cylinder, both types driven by a piston. Motor drives the piston up, and when it gets to a certain point, the compressed air or nitrogen fires the piston down.

      The older style spring and weight types use a spring with a weight on top. Essentially the motor winds the spring up and when it is compressed to a point, it releases, firing the nail. Less power and bad recoil unless you put a lot of weight on the nailer.

      That's about the limit of my knowledge. The rest is witchcraft, lol.

      The old Ryobi would fail to sink 32mm brads consistently even into pine. This fires below surface level even with 55mm brads.

      The Ozito also only fires up to 32mm. The Ryobi up to 55mm. Also fires at least 2-3 times faster.

      Hope this is some help:)

      • Hey! This is super helpful thank you. The amount of force my Ozito takes is quite irritating, the idea of no recoil and that air mechanism is very appealing. I can't think of many use cases for me that require a 55mm over a 32mm, though I will say, the ozito takes a lot of pressure to get the full 32mm unless all conditions are perfect for it (softwood etc). I'll give it some thought! Appreciate your time.

  • Is this suitable for day to day work around the house or shall I go for a smaller gauge finish nailer?

    • As I understand, the 18GA nail is the smallest nail from a nail gun, alternatives are staples

      • 23g Pin nailer is available, but won't hold on its own for most thing - needs to be used in conjunction with other fixing methods such as glue

        • Not from Bunnings, overseas only at the moment…

  • I got one years ago, done at least 10000 nails with it, still going strong.

  • Just pick one up.

    I think Ryobi must make up these kits to get rid of old battery stock.

    The 2ah battery in my kit is manufactured in 2023, yet the tool is made in 2026.

  • I got one a few years back with a 4ah battery and charger for $100.
    I got it for pure novelty purposes. Probably shot 50 nails in a card board box from a meter away by depressing the tip thingy with my finger.
    Used it once to secure some mdf to a cupboard back.
    Would buy again.

  • Apparently this version struggles to sink nails into hardwood. The brushlesss version has been out now for 3 years plus overseas and has 60% more power yet we still dont have it here..

  • Here's the page for the skin of the same model you can see the reviews:
    https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-18v-one-18ga-c1-brad-naile…

    But I've gotta say, most of the negative Bunnings reviews are absolutely useless! One gave 1 star because their local Bunnings didn't have extra nails in stock! Hell, some of the 1 or 2 star reviews are actually positive reviews!!

    • I would bet a lot of negative tool reviews are just plain user error or not reading the instructions. Same with this tool.

      I read one comment on this where someone complained it wouldn't fire when it still had a few brads left. It is because it has a dry fire lockout setup where it stops firing when there are only a few nails left. Mine typically won't fire when the magazine gets down to about 7 or 8 nails left. Just put some more nails in the magazine:)

  • So i was so lucky. I went to bunnings and saw this at the toolshop desk marked down to 150 for the kit. Staff said it was the last one so they did that! I walked in because i was early to an event nearby and had 10 mins to kill, lucky lucky!!
