Recently, I started a quick tool spotlight on my Instagram page. Be sure to check them out and give us a follow.
The first tool spotlighted was MY very first tool, the Ryobi One+ 18V Cordless AirStrike 18-Gauge Brad Nailer. My husband has owned all the tools long before we were even married. While he had a brad nailer, it required the use of an air compressor. As a beginner DIYer, I preferred the cordless option.
Let’s chat about this tool.
Ryobi One+ 18V Cordless AirStrike 18-Gauge Brad Nailer
The Ryobi Brad Nailer is compact and eliminates the need for a bulky and loud air compressor. It can shoot nails 5/8 to 2 inches in length making it a great tool to have on hand for woodworking projects, trim and moulding projects and wall panels.
Check out a few of the projects I’ve completed with this tool:
- DIY Plate Rack
