I bought the Milwaukee first because I'm a fanboy. Came back for the Ryobi because I have work to do. Still amazed at this thing outperforming my Milwaukee. Thanks for the review.
Very helpful, I just bought this item today and I can say I am a person who doesn't like to read manuals and this video made it very clear where the staples go...lol.
Thanks so much! Just bought this stapler and your video helped me out. I didnt realize the preloaded staples when i bought it werent actually in the right place. I needed to take them out and load from the bottom 😂. Also the metal guard in front was throwing me off and took me a while to realize i had to move it. Thanks for explaining what it is and why it’s there.
Thank you for the video. I watched your video and I decided to go with Ryobi one today. I just finished my first project in the outside deep freeze. It work great the cold ice didn't even kill the battery. I'm 1 up on the good stuff now. Thanks.
I'm buying one!!!!! I mostly buy dewalt but I do have a lot of ryobi stuff like flashlights, lamps, fans and a couple of tools I know I'm don't use much, and I gotta say ryobi has a lot of good stuff. They come out with lots of stuff that other brands don't have. I bought the 18v 18ga finish nailer and I love that thing. It was before dewalt and ridgid even came out with one, still kicking so I'm not upgrading. Even though all my coworkers give me a ton of crap when I bring a ryobi tool on the jobsite lol. Everyone actually likes the finish nailer. No compressor and no hose :-)
I still prefer the M12 for general use, but when it comes to heavy duty applications, it can't keep up with the Ryobi. So if I had to pick one, I'd go Ryobi. But in the mean time, I'm planning on hanging on to both.
I have both m12 and ryobi and i like ryobi more. The depth wheel, speed of operation, and power are all superior to the m12. Ryobi with another fastener gun that is not only a win but better than their big brothers offering. Thanks for the review, i joined when you had 700 subscribers. Glad to see you at 10K.
Agree, the depth adjustment is waaaay better on the Ryobi - that was my main complaint about the Milwaukee actually. Thanks for watching, it's been a crazy journey to 10K!
Good review, I also like the "Ryobi One" 18 volts 3/8" Crown T50 Stapler gun because it delivers substantial value and performance characteristics. Indeed I enjoy checking out battery-operated tools that can make my tasks more enjoyable. Who says that work has to be a drag.
Great review! Your surprise at stapling through metal corner brace was hilarious & authentic 😂. Ryobi Days is gonna empty my wallet.... but I can't resist! Picking this up, thanks! Edit: 7:06 for those curious!
Haha, yeah - I really didn't think it would be able to do it. The $99 deal for two batteries and a stapler is awesome, and this one maximizes your value.
@@DoresoomReviews Whoah, how do you only have 10k subs?! I didn't even realize until I came back to see your reply. I subbed a week or so ago. Your tool reviews are by far my favorite among the ones I've seen on YT. Keep up the good work!
Nice review Nate. Don't feel bad about possibly breaking the depth gauge indicator, I have three of the old blue staplers and on every one of them the depth knob will turn past the max setting without any effort (there is no hard stop), so it looks like Ryobi hasn't addressed that issue with the new version either. The toothed foot is for stretching screen tight when stapling. I hope this green model gets better reviews than the blue model that Ryobi dropped from their line-up a few years back. There was nothing wrong with the blue model, it's just that this is a tool that has a slight learning curve but does a fantastic job once mastered.
Thanks! I don't think this one has much of a learning curve, but then again I think I've used 3 or 4 other models of corded and cordless T50 staplers so maybe I'm just used to them.
@@DoresoomReviews I know it sounds crazy, but crown staplers do take a bit of finesse to master, otherwise some staples will either crumple or not get driven in all the way. For me, the air crown staplers provide the best results, but I've been using crown staplers for several decades and have learned to use even the hand operated ones with good results.
I've used only manual staple gun for things like attaching fabric to a chair seat, etc. My hands are small, so my Arrow T50 and the DeWalt are hard to use. Plus, no matter how much of my weight I put on the tool, I NEVER get the staple to fire all the way into the wood; I have to hammer it in. Even if it's a short-leg staple. This is going on my list.
Good review. Seems like the Ryobi beat the Milwaukee. Two Ryobi tools I own now are this stapler and the Ryobi brad nailer. Both better than Milwaukee. Though Milwaukee looks like they are announcing a new Brad nailer at NPS which I'm sure will be next level.
Thanks! Yeah, the Ryobi stomped the Milwaukee in terms of raw power. The depth adjustment is also much easier to use on the Ryobi, provided it doesn't break. The Milwaukee is lighter and smaller though, has dry fire lockout, and will really save on trigger finger fatigue if you're shooting hundreds of staples at a time with its bump fire mode. I should probably do a head to head video too!
I'm thinking I'll get one for installing vapor barrier. We do high energy efficiency construction and I don't like the inconsistency of how manual staplers sometimes fire. I want a clean, predictable staple going through the vapor barrier with minimum tearing and hole size. Looks like this should do it!
Thanks! I'm not a Home Depot affiliate, just with Amazon and ACME Tools. Make sure you grab the Ryobi days deal with this - two 3Ah batteries and the stapler for $99!
I'm very close to purchasing one of these. Just wanting to put together some small lightweight trellises using 1/4" wide slats. Almost went for an air gun, but this looks like the ticket.
You will not be disappointed with the ease of use and excellent build quality. This 18-volt staple gun gets the job done whether the task at hand is small or large.
Thanks! Yeah, I'll be at NPS in less than a week (June 6th). I'll post during the show on Instagram, and have a wrap up video here on RU-vid a few days later after I've edited the hours of footage into something coherent.
The Ryobi is an 18 V the Milwaukee is a 12 V so it should be able to drive a little better however the M 12 has a rapid fire feature that the Ryobi doesn’t have....Like anything else it comes down to the application you are using it for
Awesome video man, just want i wanted to see, I do drywall for a living and wanted to know if this would go into corner bead. Many thanks for making this video!
Any brands' T50 style staples will work. It can handle that type of staples ranging anywhere from 1/4" to 9/16" long. I've used Arrow and Stanley brands with it so far with no problems.
@@oscaralejandro3228 never used the Air Strike staple gun but believe that one is more powerful and can shoot a deeper staple. This one should do the trick with most staple-related jobs.
I finally pulled up a video after not figuring out why mine wasn't ejecting the staples and giving up over a year ago to see I was inserting the staples on the wrong side of the chamber -_-
Very nice review. Question, when you were doing the Pine test what power setting was it on. Looking in the video I see the slide at max, however with the slide broken was it truly set to max?
Thanks for the review, do you remember how thin the metal corner is 0.3 mm or even thinner? And what kind of staples do you use, are these seasoned staples? And yet, on the stapler printed 'compression drive' is there a air compressor inside or does the compression spring like in milwaukee?
I don't remember how thin the corner bead was - I think it was just the standard option that Home Depot or Lowes carried. I used regular Arrow and Stanley staples with it. Some had chisel tips, and others were flat. The internals for this are just a compression spring, no air involved.
@@DoresoomReviews thank so much! As I think about Rayobi, because very small for air compressor but good work, one moment strange why no rapid fire (bump mode)...
Trying staple chicken wire to boards around my garden. I have the staples it came with and it sounds like it’s working fine. This isn’t made only to staple downward like you are in this video is it? I doubt it. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?
What exactly is yours not doing? Is it firing but not shooting a staple? Is it not sinking them? Gonna need more details in order to help. My only guess right now is that if it's not firing you may have the staples loaded wrong. And it should be able to fire in any orientation.
@@DoresoomReviews That’s exactly what I was doing wrong...loading staples from the bottom like a bafoon instead of from the side! Really appreciate your reply! Subscribing now 👊
I sort of wish you'd shown it stapling through upholstery fabric (as if you were recovering a seat cushion or sofa. and when would you use a medium setting, and how well did that work? (I'm not sure I'd want to embed the staple in the pine)
I'm a 56 old dyi lady. I just bought this staple gun a few months ago to staple plastic on my chickens coops during winter. I'm amazed at how easy it is and how my hands don't ache like when I used the manual kind. Well worth the $99 I spent on the staple gun , battery and charger. It's a great investment in the health of my hands!! Thanks for the video. Who has time to read a manual? I'm a hands on learner. Thanks also for the "safety nub" tip. I thought it was jammed 😂 Good feature as I may have shot a chicken by mistake. Bawk! 🐔
Great video as always! It's about time you did a video on this!! lol... I just bought one through their Ryobi Day's/Memorial Day with the "Special Buy", buy this, get "...". For the price, it's great for someone like me, a simple DIY'er/Home Owner. Are going to do a 9Ah battery review yet?? haha.. OK i'll stop. As always, keep the video's coming!! Peace.....
The main difference is that they shoot different staples. This one's 3/8" crown T50 staple won't have the holding power of a longer 1/4" narrow crown staple. Also, this stapler works with a compression spring, while the Airstrike uses a gas cylinder.
thanks, one think, please don't crop the sound, this is important too how louder... and... Did you try it in real bumb mode, when we just push one time to trigger and staple always on touch the noise to wood?
This only shoots T-50 staples though. So therefore if the staples aren't suitable for carpet installation, then it logically follows that this tool isn't either.
For everyday use I prefer the Milwaukee. It's more compact and has a bump fire mode. I still keep the Ryobi around just in case I need it since it has more power. If I had to pick just one though, it might actually be the Ryobi for that reason.
No, but I haven't really been looking. I've also seen the M12 stapler on sale for the same price a few times, and since I own that one and it has bump fire, I use it 99% of the time. I still keep the Ryobi around in case I find something the M12 can't handle though.
The Ryobi Airstrike P360 narrow crown stapler is much more powerful and for completely different applications. That one shoots thicker 18 gauge narrow crown staplers up to 1-1/2" long. This one shoots lighter duty T50 staples up to 9/16" long.
No, this only shoots T50 style staples. The DeWalt cable stapler is one of the only cordless staplers I know of that's meant for doing wiring: amzn.to/3gpLu32
It shouldn't be too surprising that it was able to drive the staples into the metal because it is an 18 V tool compared to the Milwaukee which is 12 V.... then again many of the M 12s Are stronger than some 18 V tools
I haven't used any Hart tools, but they're made by the same manufacturer as Ryobi, which is TTI. Hart tools use a different slide style battery pack, but other than that I'm pretty sure they're identical to the Ryobi versions, just with a blue/white color scheme.
Not much info to go on for troubleshooting. Try checking: - Try a different battery - Is there a staple jammed in the mechanism? - Are there enough staples loaded to override the dry fire lockout? - Are the staples loaded right? - Are you depressing the safety contact enough to fire? - Has it ever worked, or is it brand new?
No, just T50 staples. For brad nails you'll need their P320 Airstrike nailer: www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-18-Volt-ONE-Cordless-AirStrike-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-Tool-Only-with-Sample-Nails-P320/203810823
It doesn't have bump fire mode, but I can shoot staples with it just as fast as I can with the M12 stapler, which does have bump fire mode. Might wear out your trigger finger if you're doing it for hours at a time though.
@@DoresoomReviews Thank you Frodo! Don't know if they'll ever replace my tack hammer unfortunately. I'm not going to pulla trigger 500 times on a 50 sqft floor. Thanks again
Ryobi you guys better improve your 18v battery's electronics... My 6ah just wouldn't charge... I stopped buying Ryobi lines and so far 4 of 18v tools are dead within 3yrs of buying them.
So far I haven't had a Ryobi tool die on me. Two 2Ah batteries have quit charging, but I was able to revive them by pulling them apart and charging the cells individually.
It's a 3/8" crown stapler, which is the same thing as T-50 staples. Maybe you're thinking I meant "narrow crown" stapler, which it isn't. Ryobi refers to it with the same nomenclature I do: www.ryobitools.com/power-tools/products/details/18v-one-plus-38-in-crown-stapler
