Ryobi P325 Review

The Ryobi P325 Cordless Nailer provides an effective, powerful and convenient to use means of driving 16 Gauge nails into objects. It can be used in two different ways, either for accurate nailing (with single sequential actuation) or for rapid nailing (with contact actuation). It boasts an adjustable pressure (which affects nail driving depth), AirStrike technology (which removes the need for a compressor), and LED lighting for when you're working in dim areas.

The Ryobi P325 is a cordless tool, meaning you can take it anywhere and use it in a variety of positions. It takes a Ryobi 18V battery which is compatible with a range of Ryobi tools, so if you already have a Ryobi tool then you may well have a suitable battery already. For this reason, the battery is sold separately.

• Suitability - The Ryobi P325 Cordless Nailer is suitable for 16 Gauge nails. It lets you choose from two modes. These are single sequential actuation mode for accurate nailing, and contact actuation mode for rapid nailing. The nailer is capable of driving in up to 800 nails on a single charge.
• Power - The nailer is cordless, meaning you can move it around conveniently to where it's needed. It takes an 18V lithium-ion Ryobi battery. Note that if you already have a cordless Ryobi tool then there's a good chance that you already have a suitable battery. The battery is sold separately for this reason. The following battery models are suitable: P100, P102, P103, P104, P105, P107 and P108.
• Adjustable Pressure - The nailer has an adjustable pressure switch on the back which controls the nail driving depth.

• LED Lighting - The Ryobi P325 Cordless Nailer has LED lighting at the head so that you can see better in dim/dark conditions. It's controlled by a trigger.
• Safety - Dry-free lockout prevents firing without nails being loaded. Adjusting the depth and clearing out jams are both achieved without the use of tools.
• Low Nail Indicator - A useful low nail indicator light shows you when it needs reloading.

Summary

All in all, the Ryobi P325 Cordless Nailer is a well designed tool which is ideal for 16 Gauge nails. We particularly like its two modes which let you choose between speed and accuracy. We also like its adjustable pressure, 'AirStrike' technology, and LED lighting at the head. It provides an easy to use, safe and multi-functional means of effectively driving in nails. We rate the Ryobi P325 Cordless Nailer 4.5 out of 5 stars.
