I've only had it a couple of days, so the real test will come when I start some projects that put more demand on this nail gun, however I can't tell you how wonderful I'm thinking this Ryobi brad nailer is so far! I had seen a few DIY website people rave about it, so I was excited to get one of my own and I've had good experience with refurbished items in the past, so I went ahead and made my order!I'm a single gal (with not much DYI experience) in the early stages of remodeling a 1300 square foot condo, so I only needed something to assist me with some trim work and possibly some crown molding. I don't have an air compressor and really didn't like the idea of having something bulky that I'd have to store when not using. This wonderful gun uses a battery (not included). I read some reviews and went with the Ryobi P107 18-Volt One Plus Compact Lithium. I read reviews that this battery was slightly lighter and kept a charge longer than other options would. Since it was only a few dollars difference in price, I went for it. The charger and the battery I purchased both arrived shortly before my gun did so I had things charged and ready once I had the nail gun in my hands.Not gonna lie, when I finally had the assembled Ryobi in my hands I got nervous. I'm a complete noob when it comes to "fancy" power tools and this one qualifies. I carefully read reviews and watched a video online before playing with this new toy. Thus far I've only put a few nails into an old cabinet, but by golly, it WORKED! And it was so easy to use. I know as time goes on I'll learn more about the settings and special features, but right out of the box, it placed my test nails at the perfect depth. And it was so easy to use!! Very happy. If for any reason, over time, I have more information to add, I'll surely update this review, but otherwise, consider me one very happy customer.Great nail gun that doesn't need an air compressor or gas charger thingy (DIY lingo for the win!)= AWESOME!
