LOML surprised me for my birthday today with a pair of Ryobi 18v tools, the P325 nailer and the P360 stapler and a Husky 14" rolling tool Tote to store them in.

She has some work for me to do in renovating our living room and dinning room in the near future.
It was COLD today here in N Mississippi, so I didn't get to try it out much but I did grab a couple of 2x4 cut offs (cold, wet and only half thawed out) and a couple of 1x4 cutoffs and gave the 18v tools a try. At first with the P 325 nailer, the 2 inch nails only went in to the 2x4 with about 1/2 inch sticking out. With a couple of adjustments, the nails went in all the way, and below the surface by about 1/32 inch. The 360's 3/4 inch staples went in all the way and just below the surface. I haven't tried either in the repeat mode yet.
It is taking a little adjustment to get used to the weight and bulk. I am used to nothing larger than the 18v impact driver and 18v drill driver. But the fun of driving nails/staples without cords or hose sure is wonderful! Can't wait until tomorrow to give these guns a more detailed try-out.
I am looking forward to using these tools. In quite a few reviews, they both do surprisingly well.
