Ryobi P318 Nailer Specification

The Ryobi P318 Nailer is a cordless, 18V One+ AirStrike crown stapler designed for efficient fastening in various DIY and professional applications. Compact and lightweight, the P318 offers the convenience of a tool-free depth-of-drive adjustment, enabling precise control over staple depth for different materials. It features a crown width of 3/8 inch and accommodates staples ranging from 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch in length, making it versatile for upholstery, cabinetry, and other woodworking tasks. The integrated AirStrike Technology eliminates the need for noisy compressors, bulky hoses, or expensive gas cartridges, providing a hassle-free experience with cordless convenience.

The P318 is equipped with a single sequential mode for precision placement and a contact actuation mode for rapid firing, supporting up to 1,000 staples per charge using a Ryobi 18V ONE+ lithium-ion battery. A convenient low-staple indicator minimizes downtime by notifying users when it's time to reload, and the onboard LED lighting enhances visibility in dimly lit workspaces. The dry-fire lockout feature extends tool life by preventing the stapler from actuating when out of staples, reducing damage to the work surface.

Ergonomically designed, the P318 Nailer includes a comfortable, over-molded grip to reduce user fatigue during extended use. The tool is compatible with all Ryobi 18V ONE+ batteries, making it an integrated part of the extensive Ryobi ONE+ system. With its combination of power, versatility, and ease of use, the Ryobi P318 Nailer is an ideal choice for both home enthusiasts and professional contractors seeking reliable performance in a cordless stapling solution.
