Specifications • Battery Voltage – 18V • Nailing Capacity – 1/2″ – 1-3/8″ • 1875 Shots per Charge of 2.0Ah Battery • Bright LED Light • Lifetime Service Agreement • 3.3Lbs Depth of Drive Setting The Ridgid R09898B has a large depth of drive adjustment knob located on the right side of the nailer, just under the top plate. It is large and has an aggressively gnarled wheel for easy adjustments. Pin Nailer | Nail Capacity The Ridgid R09898B has a nailing capacity of 1/2″ to 1-3/8″. LED Light The Ridgid R09898B has a nice, bright LED light with a unique position. The LED is angled up at a 45° angle allowing for illumination of the general fastening area. No Mar Tip The R09898B comes with two orange hard plastic no mar tips. Non-mar contact tips are a nice feature on nailers if they don’t obscure your line of sight. The tip is securely held in place, (it is hard to remove) which we like because it’s more likely to stay in place over time. The reserve tip is clipped on the rear of the magazine. Trigger The Ridgid has a traditional-style double trigger system. We used the Ridgid pin nailer to build a custom fireplace mantle with all mitered edges. On the same project, we used the R09898B Pin nailer to secure thin outside corner trim over our shiplap wall covering. The trim was pre-painted, and the pin nailer was the perfect tool for leaving tiny, unobtrusive holes, requiring a small amount of touch-up paint. Nail Penetration | Depth of Drive We conducted a nail penetration test on what we feel are the most popular species of trim remodeling contractors use in the field. • Poplar • Red Oak • Soft Maple • Pre-painted Maple cabinet trim • Poplar molding and small trim parts Poplar On our Poplar test we had to set the nailer to almost MAX depth setting. At that setting the pin nails that were fired were set perfectly just below the wood. Red Oak Our 3/4″ Red Oak test was done with the nailer set to MAX depth setting and almost all the pin nails were proud of the wood. When we applied “light” pressure to the nailer, the nails were driven flush, and when added more pressure, they sank just below the wood grain with many leaving firing pin marks. For comparison we used a pneumatic pin nailer in the Red Oak and easily set all the pins below the surface. In this hardwood scenario the cordless pin nailer couldn’t produce as much power as the pneumatic pin nailer. Pre-Painted Maple Cabinet Trim We took some Maple cabinet trim we had from a previous remodel and cut 45° miters to test fastening in pre-painted material. This is a practical, in the field, installation carpenters encounter on almost every remodel. This test showed inconstant depth settings, when pressure to the tool was applied fastener setting improved but often left a firing pin mark. More on this when we discuss room for improvement. Dry-Fire Lockout When the magazine has 0-10 nails left, the dry-fire lock-out mechanism prevents you from firing any nails. When the last nail is utilized, and the LED light will flash rapidly to alert you to reload fasteners. Room For Improvement In our testing the cordless pin nailer struggled with hardwood trim applications. After several discussions with the team at Ridgid we discovered that part of the issue is the 2.0 Ah battery pack that was sent to us for testing. This tool is sold as a bare tool or as a kit with a 2.0 Ah battery. Engineers for Ridgid pointed out that this tool performs much better in hardwood applications with a larger MAX Output 4.0 Ah battery pack. This does make sense as we've seen much better performance on higher demand applications using larger density packs, not only with Ridgid tools but with all brands. So, users that want to use this cordless pin nailer for hardwood applications should use a larger 4.0 Ah battery pack for the best performance and power. Price The Ridgid pin nailer sells as a bare tool for $219.00 and can be purchased at Home Depot here: Closing Thoughts By adding the 18v cordless pin nailer to their arsenal, Ridgid now has a complete lineup of cordless nailers. The Ridgid R09898 18v cordless pin nailer shined on the Poplar and Pine we tested on. It struggled more as the wood species got harder like the Red Oak and Maple. For these harder types of wood species, users should be sure to use a larger 4.0 Ah battery pack for maximum performance. In the world of pin nailers, the Ridgid R09898B sits well for carpenters, serious enthusiasts and DIYers. If you currently operate on the Ridgid 18v battery platform this nailer is something you want to have to round out your nailer arsenal.
