Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers and editors highlight the P321 as a solid cordless entry for DIYers due to its class-leading lightness and AirStrike convenience. While praised for its compact nose and ease of use, experts note that it lacks the power and runtime of the newer brushless HP model (P322), recommending the upgrade for professional or heavy-production users.
What Users Say

Common praise includes quick setup and battery ecosystem compatibility, while recurring complaints focus on occasional jams, variable runtime with non-premium batteries, and slightly less power than pneumatic alternatives.
