The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Gauge Brad Nailer is a cordless finish nailer powered by REDLITHIUM batteries and featuring a POWERSTATE brushless motor. It utilizes a sealed compressed nitrogen mechanism to deliver pneumatic-like performance without compressors. Best for professional carpenters who prioritize cordless convenience and precision.
The Ryobi P325 is an 18V ONE+ AirStrike cordless finish nailer designed for trim and molding work, eliminating the need for compressors or hoses. It features tool-free depth-of-drive adjustment, a low nail indicator, and compatibility with all Ryobi 18V batteries to deliver up to 800 shots per charge on a 4Ah battery. While efficient, it lacks the brushless motor found in premium competitors for longer runtime.
