Awesome. Just purchased mine and was a bit confused over the depth wheel, because there are no numbers or marks. But you really cleared things up. Reading the manual before watching your vid is the perfect combo. Thanks
Swing and a miss on the led. I'm blown away by the led lights! It's up there with zero failure performance literally. My hope the led engineering really steps up and become the best of shop talk.
Just ordered mine! Can't wait to try it out. Figured I do enough trim work and have plenty to do around my house I bit the bullet and decided to get one instead of borrowing my dad's oldschool nailer with a compressor lol
Taking my replaced Ryobi back tommorow, gonna gobget tge Kobalt. Kobalt Jigsaw compared to Ryobi is amazing. Feels so much better and much less vibration with more power. I am a fan
They are doing a BOGO on this kit with two 4.0 ultimate output batteries. Very good deal. If you guys want to save money on Kobalt, this is how you do it. 1. XTR nailer 249 get XTR bare tool free or the 2 pack ultimate output batteries. 2. Buy the 4 PC Kobalt gen 3 kit for 249 (299 full price) and get the new gen 3 circular saw for free. 550 for all those tools (1 and 2) added together
@@YZ-LP22 I think it was taken down. On the first day of the promotion 10/17 where it's supposed to happen, I simply looked for both items: The nailer kit and the 2 pack ultimate output batteries. I had one of the guys grab the batteries from the overhead and the kit that they had on the floor, walked straight to the self checkout with the gentlemen and it checked out fine with free item at 0 dollars. Now, when I look at my order under MVP, it does not show what I bought at all. Just the total amount.
Sorry to comment again.. went to my local lowes today. The deal was there!!! Returned mine and re purchased with the (2) 4.0ah ultimate output batteries. I cannot thank you enough. 🤘
You showed one of the nails blowing out the side of one of the boards you used for testing. I have learned that, this almost always happens when the nail gun is parallel to the wood grain. If you turn the lumber, or nail gun, whichever is easiest for you, so that the nail gun is perpendicular to the wood grain, nail blowout is extremely rare.
Great video brother thanks. Expected this to come with box instead of bag that would be my only suggestion for kobalt and a framing nailer and table saw. Maybe asking for to much, but a man can dream right:)
I do prefer blow mold cases for infrequently used tools, I'm going to wait till it goes on sale... 250$ bit steep, my cordless chop saw cost that much and WELL WORTH IT.
My ryobi is the older version they have in 18 Guage but mine has depth adjust an power adjust for different woods As well I also own the 16 Guage ryobi an it has both depth an power Aswell given they call them 18v but if u test my ion 🔋 there over 20v ryobi has made me a fan recently
I appreciate the video. I just got one and for anyone out there considering to buy one, should probably jump on it now. Because you get a free tool with the purchase of the nail gun! I went with the XTR Sawzall but you can also get the 71/4 circular saw or a 2 pack of 4ah batteries! But yeah I decided to look up a video because when I pulled mine out of the box and I seen the bag it came with, (just like you) I thought does it even fit? And you were a little bit more optimistic than I was cuz I said heck no? LOL. Why would they supply a bag that doesn't fit the tool it comes with? And in reality spending $250 on a tool before tax you should probably get a hard case to begin with. Especially seeing how the free tool you get with the purchase of this one comes with a hard case!
I found one two weeks ago at my a local Lowe’s. But if you scan the barcode it shows as invalid. So some stores had early access. They’re now in stock at some stores as of today!
Humm funny kobalt would be 1st to get nail guns when they are owed by the same company as flex seams odd they didn't release it to there more premium line of tools
Terrible bag, a box would be so much better, too big, too heavy no belt hook was really excited for this to come out but the search continues, thanks for the video.
@@jerryhicks4502 if you can find a way to change the tip, then this is very solid. I would say it’s just behind Milwaukee in terms of power if not around the same. I went back and bought the darn tool because they were giving 2 pack ultimate output batteries for free with this purchase, so I couldn’t pass it up. I will only use this nailer for rough in work or probably deck work. Out of the nailers I have tried, Kobalt is probably in the top 5 just shear power
Got it for Christmas (yes, I'm a girl who loves tools!) I absolutely LOVE this nail gun!!
Nicely presented, thanks. This is just about the last tool I'd need to complete centralizing all my stuff on just one battery platform.
Got mine, love it. It just feels good, and get things done. Used mine all day, barely drained the battery

I got mine on the first of this month and they had no promotion going. I'm about to return mine and get this deal!
No luck. My lowes has deals going on for gen 3 tools. None for the nailer

Finally!!! A review!

It's on sale right now for around 180 at Lowe's

My brand new 18 guage 18 v ryobi BROKE in 9 days. Not even half a box of nails used... on trim.
Best review ever 👍🏼
Thanks!

Just bought mine today. Already love it. Great review. Thanks
"Kind of"...? Bags should be a decent snug fit; they protect much better that way. It fits fine.
I think it needs a bigger bag. Mine struggles to fit.
Mine does too
It doesn’t fit at all
It actually fits great if you put the flat side down w/o battery then add battery. Fits great
Thank you for the review
Can this nail into concrete??
Man I wish it was more compact seems so long
dropping by & showing support. Good Preview
thanks!
Got a ryobi hp 18 guage nailer... 9 days later it broke.
How does this compare to ryobi
Better buy it now before Congress declares it illegal due to the high capacity magazine
Hahaha
Nice slice of TOTAL IDIOCY there big boy.
Did Alex Jones tell you that🤣👉🤏
😂
Exactly then gun control idiots will push till no end
I can't find this anywhere. Where can I buy this?
I found one two weeks ago at my a local Lowe’s. But if you scan the barcode it shows as invalid. So some stores had early access. They’re now in stock at some stores as of today!
Well yanno I love these
Where did you buy this I would like to have one
Lowe's
how many nails will it shoot on a 2 amp hour battery?
A crap ton. I use this non stop.
Wish they had a 16g
and a stapler too!
It's a totally unfair comparison putting an electric and an air-fired nailer next to each other. That's a fairly silly comparison.
agree, it's a bit silly just trying to provide a size reference
Thanks, but too much information! I just wanted to know about the Kobalt.
Humm funny kobalt would be 1st to get nail guns when they are owed by the same company as flex seams odd they didn't release it to there more premium line of tools

there actually is a belt hook included
@@OnTheWorkbench oh, well at least they included one
staples too?
no not in this tool, maybe they will release one in the future?
Looks like a hot dog.
Looks the same as ingco model.
Why is this sooooo big? Go get a pin nailer. Same holding strength and 1/4 the weight and size.
your way wrong......
Looks a like millwaukee
The non marring tip is not rubberized. It damages your work piece because of the recoil. I cannot recommend it for finish work
Does it really. I need it for base trim but if it scars it no point in buying it then.

I would recommend removing it an giving it a boil then place it in the freezer rite after an try again.if that don't work by a ryobi
@@ProxyFinal how can you do decking with a trim nailer
@@acecaldwell4701 what you mean?
Who cares about the box
bout damn time
