The Ryobi 16G One+ AirStike Nailer might not be able to replace the reliability and bomb-proof build quality of these pro units but it gets bloody close. The names that you most commonly see on a proper building site (Milwaukee, DeWalt, Bosch Professional et al) all produce a cordless nailer like this one but you can expect to part with twice as much for one of those and the required battery packs.

It’s also possible to adjust the depth of nail drive without the need for additional tools, which is as simple as turning the air pressure dial up on the back and fine tuning it with a dial on the front of the tool. For safety reasons, you’ll have to ensure this tip is depressed, even when using a triggered mode. There’s a dual firing mode for a start, which includes a classic triggered sequential mode, as well as a contact actuation, which sends a nail into your chosen material as soon as the tip is pressed into a surface. On top of this, the tool has a few additional features that stand it out from a similarly priced crowd. This is in part thanks to the overtly robust build of the body, which packs ergonomically placed rubber grips, the bulky nail holster on the front and the firm’s own AirStrike technology, which essentially acts as a mini compressor to fire the nails. It weights 2.5kg without the battery pack in place, so you expect to have to deal with over 4kg worth of nail gun during projects. Without wanting to provoke a Kenneth Williams-esque response from the audience, this is a big tool and one that certainly takes a bit of manhandling.
