The Best Cordless Finish Nailer Options of 2023

Sep 16, 2023

Although marketed more toward the DIYer, this Ryobi cordless finish nailer has a feature set that would impress most pros. The straight magazine takes 100 16-gauge nails with lengths from ¾ inch to 2 ½ inches. The Ryobi is one of few tools in this price range that offers both sequential and bump firing. It has tool-free depth setting and jam clearing, and also benefits from dry firing lockout.

As is common with cordless finish nailers, the Ryobi is sold as a bare tool, no battery included. This gives buyers the option to choose anywhere from a low-cost 2Ah model to a 9Ah high-performance unit. Using the midrange 4Ah battery, the tool will fire up to 800 nails per charge.

Interestingly, the included LED lights use a separate switch so they can be turned on without risk of firing the nailer. The tool itself weighs 6 pounds, and depending on battery will still be a fairly lightweight tool at 7.5 or 8 pounds.
