Got it, used it, really like it. I’m a fan of Ozito, the range it growing and bang for buck (especially the 5yr almost no questions warranty) they rock. Have most of the PXC range from drill & driver to rattle gun and chainsaw. And I’m a bit more than a hobbyist, using them almost daily around farm and in shed. The nailer works as well as near any other cordless ,non gassed, nailer I’ve used. And the stapler has now done multiple upholstery projects. Canvas art frames, seats and rubber upholstered padding in horse floats. 😊
That's it Jason, while not all tools are made equally, sometimes the cheaper tools get a bad rap simply because they're compared to the heavy duty counterparts which are designed for way more use than the avg user will ever need.
I’m a carpet layer, I love this staple gun . It’s great for reinforcing smooth edge and works great for small jobs too.I would suggest taking off the red tip because the staples go in deeper without it.👍
@@woodfather have you tried and how did it work without that tip? Thinking of buying this one for paneling moulding project but quite afraid it will not nail flush and need hammer to tap in the last 1-2mm every nail…. That will defeat the purpose of using this tool! Thanks for this great video and honest & factual review!
Thanks for the review. Really helpful as I’m considering buying one. I have a large compressor and heavy framing guns. They’re great for their purpose but the convenience of a cordless, lightweight gun for some hobby projects makes sense. The price point makes these much more accessible for hobby projects.
Cheers Chris. Yep it's a nice extra tool on the shelf if you are already committed to the Ozito world, probably not good enough to drag you _into_ the world though 😉
Woodfather learns brad nailing 😂. Great review, now I know it's slower per nail that the air compressor type. I have bought a silent air compressor so I'll stick with my paslode for now, absolutely love that one. I think if I need to put nails in stuff outside my workshop a lot, I would get me one of those. Thanks again for the review!
Ooh, hey Jesper, I've heard of the silent air compressors but, well, I've never actually heard one... 🥁🥁 😄 Is it a huge difference? My compressor is only a couple years old so I can't justify upgrading for quite a while. I tend to not look too deeply into new tech/tools if I know I don't want to spend the money anyway, otherwise I start making excuses as for why I need them after all... 😆
Exactly right, they get the job done and that's all that matters. I do have a few 'more expensive' tools around the place, but I've never had tool brand envy of any kind, I just buy whatever I think is going to suit my purposes and future plans. The Bunnings & Ozito return policy is also a really good bonus, I should have mentioned that. 👍
Thx for the video. It looked like the wood gets damaged each time you fired a nail and pressed hard into it, does that seem to be a problem? Also any update on how it performs with the red tip removed? Any stronger?
Awesome in softwood - not so suited for hardwood in my experience. I upgraded to Stanley Fatmax and Milwaukee Palm Nailer for that stuff during my cottage reno.
Ozito is hands down awesome for DIY stuff. Ive got many ozito stuff for around the house and use Milwaukee for work. Some of Ozito stuff like the brushless grinder and the cordless inflator/deflator will rival the best of them.
Yeah mate I bought one for the same reason. I don’t have a Bunnings within 400km but the Ozito tools are cheap enough that o often grab a few each time I visit. Recently I’ve been trying to do projects using only my Ozito tools.
" _ I don’t have a Bunnings within 400km_ " 😮 bugger, some of the Bunnings in my area feel like the warehouse is 400km across itself! I won't complain about the ten minute drive anymore! Cheers Jimmy!
Really good review Mario, was looking at buying one a while back but had no batteries & like you I’ve a Ryobi Air Strike so I probably won’t get one. Happy days mate 🍻👍
Heya Dirk! You're on the money there, if you don't already have the batteries it probably feels too expensive. By that point you may as well spend a little bit more and buy the higher quality one. It's working out well in my workshop though, doing the exact job I wanted it to do, quite well.
Even my Makita C1 nailer needs good pressure behind it to sink properly. Honestly it looks a bit slower and doesn't have quite the same punch, but for 1/4 of the price you can't complain too much!
I can complain a little though...right? 😆 I actually used it to trim out a doorway in my workshop yesterday, MDF skirting boards, worked a treat. I wouldn't want to have to do a whole house with it lol, but for the odd job where time isn't a huge factor, I can't complain.
I'm in the Ozito world, and I've just bought one. I see what you mean about the depth dial being useless. All my brads are sticking out a bit. I thought about taking it back for some expert advice from someone wearing a green apron, but I'll try the push hard idea first. It's more than a bit annoying though....
to be fair, even on high quality guns you still need to put pressure behind it to fully sink the nailhead - but the depth dealie here is a gimmick that should have been left off, makes zero difference in use. 👍
Nice review mate. I've often thought about tools at this end of the market, especially because of the price, but because I'm already on two other battery platforms I've been reluctant. I would love a brad nailer (that isn't attached to a compressor) but haven't really used the air one I have enough to warrant it. I can definitely see your use for it as an extra pair of hands when assembling and finish carpentry indoors. Happy new year mate!
Cheers Sam. I've planned to switch brands in the past, but I bought the ozito impact driver years ago (not the one in this video, diff model), and it was an absolute beast. Renovated the workshop and half the house with it. Because it did such a great job, when it died I bought a replacement, and I've just been buying Ozito where it makes sense ever since. The Ryobi air guns I have are definitely far better than this nailer, but not having to plug in the compressor for a quick coulpe bangs is soooooo much better. 🙂
Hi mate, I'm on AEG for all my pricier well used stuff, but for tools that I'd use once in a blue moon, the Ozito is well worth it. I have a reciprocating saw, ratchet gun and Rotary Hammer drill from the PXC range and they are more than enough. It would have cost me 4x as much to buy the equivalent in AEG.
@@XXB4XX Cheers mate. The bulk of my tools are AEG and Makita (started off on AEG but have started migrating away to Makita for reasons that aren't relevant here) . I'm fortunate that because I work in the trades when I make a tool purchase sometimes they double up and get use at work too, however I've no need in gas work for a brad nailer, that's purely my woodworking hobby! I have seriously considered this tool and have a project soon that will benefit from a cordless brad nailer, however beasue I'd need to buy the battery and charger it puts it in the realm of almost the price of Ryobi and AEG. With aeg i've got heaps of batteries, but have also found a batter adaptor that means I can use my Makita batteries in Ryobi tools, which opens up some options there for around the same price point. I've had a squizz through the rest of the Ozito range and i've got the rest of it covered in my other tools, so wouldn't get other use from the battery. Cheers!
I mentioned in another post that you can 3D print adapters that will allow you to use a non Ozito battery in an Ozito tool. If I remember I will find a links if there is an adapter for AEG battery to Ozito tool available.
Good review, I've thought about getting this as well. Mainly for quick light duty woodwork jobs. Looks like it would be pretty useless in regards to fixing skirting to old hardwood frames with gyprock in between?
Hey mate, yeah I think it would struggle in that scenario. I used it the other day on mdf skirts through plaster, into pine framing, it worked, but that seemed to be on the edge of its abilities. Definitely a light duty tool only. 👍
I have all Ozito tools but try to get 36 volt chain saws, I call Bunnings in Wellington n.z. To get hold of Ozito to buy one mths ago and all I get is Ozito has not got back to us. I have given up and will not by any more Ozito tools.
Useful video - thanks! I have mainly Dewalt tools although we do have a few Einhell (we’re in UK) gardening tools. If I got one of these I could just use the red batteries but I think you can get an adaptor to make Dewalt fit.
I think that's one of the most amazing features of 3D printers, you can use them to make adaptors for anything it seems. I haven't tried myself, I'm worried if I buy a 3D printer I'll get carried away and not return to my other hobbies! Cheers Nigel!
If you are after quiet compressors try Sydney Tools they sell some that are super quiet ... like I can have a normal conversation with it on quiet. I can airbrush and spraygun with one so I reckon your nailer may be ok as long as it's not cranking out tonnes of nails.
Hi Mario, Looks like it would be worth it since I already have the Ozito drill, impact driver and multifunction tool. @ 3:04 looks like it dents the wood if you press hard?
oh dang, I should have gone into more detail with that. 🤦♂If you press hard, into soft wood, then yes, it will leave a mark. Into hard wood, not so much. You can find a sweet spot where the nail will be 'almost' flush with no mark in soft, but then you have to tap it in further with a hammer. Truth be told, I'm not planning on using this for any finish work, so it likely won't be an issue for me. In my use case, the nail hole will either be hidden, or, filled and painted, so I get to ignore the hole and just press it in as hard as I can 😆
Good video mate. It was good to see it used on different materials since all the other reviews i watched were just using it on pine or ply. I've got both dewalt and ozito ecosystems and i think that if i was to do it again I'd just go the ryobi stuff to be in the middle. They seem to do the biggest range of tools and they are cheap enough.
Cheers mate, yep I'm with you, if I was starting over I might choose Ryobi as well. It's hard to make the switch though, as so far the Ozito's have always gotten the job done for me. I really like their gardening tools too, the grass trimmer is spectacular value. Maybe if I have 2 or 3 batteries lose charge all at once, that might be the motivator to switch brands, but so far, they're going good. Cheers!
I got one of these despite not having any Ozito tools because buying the skin and a battery/charger was still less than the Ryobi by a fair amount, and I must have been unlucky because the one I have just will not fully sink a nail, even with my 115kg on it. It’ll be good for stretching canvases and upholstery so I’m not mad about it, but interesting to know it can do better
Brother, Buy a silent compressor and get rid of that dinosaur. I know they are on the expensive side but they are fantastic units. I've got a Chicago Hush30 myself love the thing to bits. Although that being said i'll still buy the Ozito Cordless Nailer vs a pneumatic version.
I'd love a silent one, but I use it so rarely it's tough to justify the purchase while this is working. Definitely if this one ever gives me trouble it'll be right out the workshop and a new silent one brought into replace it quickly 😆
You have to remember that basic physics come into play...the tool is attempting to drive the pin into a material, so the force of driving that pin goes both directions - forward onto the pin, and backwards into the tool. To minimise the force going into the tool, and to ensure as much of that force as possible is actually going onto the pin, you need to apply your strength to the tool, or the recoil of striking the pin will bounce the tool backwards. That said, this is a good bottom tier tool for doing what it does - light nailing and light stapling. Think of the job it is for - what size pin or nail you need for the job it has to do, and what material it has to go into. This is marketted for basic stapling, and basic furniture work, such as stapling down upholstery or carpet, or for pinning a sheet of replacement plywood onto the bottom of a storage box or bench seat...it's not meant for framing, or nailing floor boards down. It does work at the lower end of the 'finishing' nailer range, such as putting in trim or light fixing but for anything more than that you are probably looking at a 16gauge nailer. For what it is, and it's price, it is a very handy tool. I've used mine on furniture repair, adding beading to deck posts (into spotted gum, which needed a bit of hammer and nail setter work), and wooden window repair.
Nice one, thats definitely correct, not for framing or floor boards. For my purposes it has been really useful, so long as you know and accept the limitations, it's a great tool! Cheers!
Bir süredir kablolu olan ve eksik olan aletlerimi tamamlamak için araştırma yapıyordum. Einhell benzeri Alman markalarının kablolu cihazlarını kullanıyordum. Batarya olayı hoşuma gitti ve her aleti farklı marka ve batarya ile kullanmak iyi bir fikir olmayacağından Einhell'de karar kıldım. Şu anda 20 kadar Einhell ürünüm var bunlardan sadece biri kablolu (hot glue gun). Bir tane de çivi çakma tabancası almak istedim. Burada , sizdeki model ile fixetto arasında amazon prime indirimi sayesinde az fark olunca fixetto aldım. Yalnız çivi çakabilmesi kötü. Oysa zımba da çakabilseydi iyi olurdu. Artık onun için de başka bir model alırım. Videonuza denk geldim. Konuyu ele alma biçiminiz ve tarzınız bence tam olması gerektiği gibi. Bilinçsiz kullanıcılar gibi şu düğme sanırım şu işe yarıyor demeden anlatmışsınız. Diğer videolarınızda da umarım bana uygun içerikler vardır. Bakış açılarımız benzer olduğundan tecrübelerinizden faydalanmak benim için iyi olacak. Türkiye'den sevgi ve saygılar. Teşekkürler.
I can't get it to sink all the way in Spotted Gum either, but that is a very dense wood. For how I tend to use it though, MDF, pine, plywood, it's perfect. 👍
There are 3 things that matter in a tool - 1. Performance and Precision 2. Ruggedness 3. Price I cannot find a brand that gives great performance and precision that is not ALSO trade and pro quality... therefore I need to spend more to get that. I ended up replacing my Ozito with Milwuakee purely because the Drill and Driver were too gutless. I wish Ozito made their tools more powerful while keeping other factors the same.
Yep, the old, "pick any two" triangle. Precise and rugged is always the desire, but it will cost you in the price corner. If I found myself doing handyman jobs here and there, I might upgrade, but I think this will last me a long time the way I use it. 👍
Think this a the same as a Einhell TE-CN 18. Or even lower, a TC model. Einhell has 3 lineups TC, TE and TP. TP can most certainly compete with a brand like Ryobi or Bosch green.
Yep, I think Einhell is the UK branding? I wasn't aware of that until a little while ago. I don't think this is one of their best tools, but there are a couple Ozito ones, like the Palm Router, that has done everything I've ever asked of it, so I'm definitely a fan.
@@woodfather Einhell is the brandname in Europe (and parent company of Ozito). Bought the TE-CN 18 a week ago for a small project. It made it so much easier and worked just fine.
Nice review Mario, spot on about the battery club. I am in the DeWalt club only because my son is in the trade and gets me a good price; no way would I have joined that cult if paying retail. As for the Ozito it's like buying the Workzone (exact same model numbers as Ryobi) range from Aldi; they all come from the same factory in China and are made to a price point. Would I want to see a tradie walk through my door with Ozito tools in his bag, hell no. For the weekend hackers like us, sure. Cheers, David
hehe, yep, you'd have to have some concerns if a tradie rocked up with a van full of Ozito 😆 I used to work with a builder so he had all the top of the range Makita/Dewalts/Paslodes, etc, that I got to play with each day. They were great to use, different world to the cheaper stuff I buy, but when you're dropping over $1000 on a single drill you'd want it to be bloody good! 😄
Trades have been known to grab an Ozito tool from Bunnings if they are a distance from home and don't have their pro tool in the Ute. It's good enough to do a one off job and is cheaper than having to drive home and back plus they can claim the purchase on their tax since its a work tool.
Great video Mario. I’ve been considering the battery adapters you can purchase on eBay to convert a battery to fit another brand. I’ve looked at battery c1 nailers. Certainly not wanting to turn on the air compressor would be a plus.
Ooh they look handy. If you've already got a few DeWalt's or Makita's it might be helpful to get the converter for a special tool or two from the other brand, not sure if they'd sell them for Ozito's though 😄Honestly, not using the compressor for a couple nails here and there is so good, I generally work in silence so it's always a shock when it kicks in.
At the other end for a mere $400-$500 you can get my little Makita C1 nailer ;) It's pretty awesome (made in the UK would you believe) if you are one team teal... just not cheap.
I had two of ozito nail guns.and both broken.its cheap.and hobby use only.the gun has very weak connect body and nail system.which is only one small point of plastic.
Yep, definitely not for any serious use. I have a couple Ryobi air powered nailguns if I need to make something at a higher level of quality, but this one has been helpful in a few occasions.
Definitely is, but you would certainly get a major improvement in the quality and robustness of the tool, if you splurged for the professional quality one. All depends on your use case I guess. 👍
@@woodfather I'm still weighing that up. Like you, I'm not a tradie. I've never needed one before, but need one now for a project. I may not need it again for months or years. Ozito full kit is $280, Makita cheapest is $478, and it doesn't even do staples.
I bought this and the battery because it worked out cheaper than getting a ryobi skin only (I’m a ryobi user) I like it, but I wish the nails drove in harder on the shiplap I put up 🫤
Yep that's about the main issue with it. It works, but only to a certain quality point. I still like mine, but it sees very infrequent use so still the right decision for me. 👍
I got one of these despite not having any Ozito tools because buying the skin and a battery/charger was still less than the Ryobi by a fair amount, and I must have been unlucky because the one I have just will not fully sink a nail, even with my 115kg on it. It’ll be good for stretching canvases and upholstery so I’m not mad about it, but interesting to know it can do better
That's a bit disappointing that it won't sink them at all, mine does, though I do end up with marks / divots in the wood around the nail so it isn't perfect either. Certainly not a 'finisher' nailer.
Take it back to Bunnings with the receipt and get it swapped out for another one. You may have gotten a bit of a dud. That's the beauty of the 5 year warranty. 👍

Awesome in softwood - not so suited for hardwood in my experience. I upgraded to Stanley Fatmax and Milwaukee Palm Nailer for that stuff during my cottage reno.

Cheers mate, yep I'm with you, if I was starting over I might choose Ryobi as well. It's hard to make the switch though, as so far the Ozito's have always gotten the job done for me. I really like their gardening tools too, the grass trimmer is spectacular value. Maybe if I have 2 or 3 batteries lose charge all at once, that might be the motivator to switch brands, but so far, they're going good. Cheers!
Thank you!
Cheers, hope it helped!
I got one of these despite not having any Ozito tools because buying the skin and a battery/charger was still less than the Ryobi by a fair amount, and I must have been unlucky because the one I have just will not fully sink a nail, even with my 115kg on it. It’ll be good for stretching canvases and upholstery so I’m not mad about it, but interesting to know it can do better
If you take the red tip off it sinks the nails
damn, I still haven't tried removing the red tip, this weekend I'll give it a crack!
Brother, Buy a silent compressor and get rid of that dinosaur. I know they are on the expensive side but they are fantastic units. I've got a Chicago Hush30 myself love the thing to bits. Although that being said i'll still buy the Ozito Cordless Nailer vs a pneumatic version.
I'd love a silent one, but I use it so rarely it's tough to justify the purchase while this is working. Definitely if this one ever gives me trouble it'll be right out the workshop and a new silent one brought into replace it quickly 😆
You have to remember that basic physics come into play...the tool is attempting to drive the pin into a material, so the force of driving that pin goes both directions - forward onto the pin, and backwards into the tool. To minimise the force going into the tool, and to ensure as much of that force as possible is actually going onto the pin, you need to apply your strength to the tool, or the recoil of striking the pin will bounce the tool backwards. That said, this is a good bottom tier tool for doing what it does - light nailing and light stapling. Think of the job it is for - what size pin or nail you need for the job it has to do, and what material it has to go into. This is marketted for basic stapling, and basic furniture work, such as stapling down upholstery or carpet, or for pinning a sheet of replacement plywood onto the bottom of a storage box or bench seat...it's not meant for framing, or nailing floor boards down. It does work at the lower end of the 'finishing' nailer range, such as putting in trim or light fixing but for anything more than that you are probably looking at a 16gauge nailer. For what it is, and it's price, it is a very handy tool. I've used mine on furniture repair, adding beading to deck posts (into spotted gum, which needed a bit of hammer and nail setter work), and wooden window repair.
Nice one, thats definitely correct, not for framing or floor boards. For my purposes it has been really useful, so long as you know and accept the limitations, it's a great tool! Cheers!
Bir süredir kablolu olan ve eksik olan aletlerimi tamamlamak için araştırma yapıyordum. Einhell benzeri Alman markalarının kablolu cihazlarını kullanıyordum. Batarya olayı hoşuma gitti ve her aleti farklı marka ve batarya ile kullanmak iyi bir fikir olmayacağından Einhell'de karar kıldım. Şu anda 20 kadar Einhell ürünüm var bunlardan sadece biri kablolu (hot glue gun). Bir tane de çivi çakma tabancası almak istedim. Burada , sizdeki model ile fixetto arasında amazon prime indirimi sayesinde az fark olunca fixetto aldım. Yalnız çivi çakabilmesi kötü. Oysa zımba da çakabilseydi iyi olurdu. Artık onun için de başka bir model alırım.
Videonuza denk geldim. Konuyu ele alma biçiminiz ve tarzınız bence tam olması gerektiği gibi. Bilinçsiz kullanıcılar gibi şu düğme sanırım şu işe yarıyor demeden anlatmışsınız. Diğer videolarınızda da umarım bana uygun içerikler vardır. Bakış açılarımız benzer olduğundan tecrübelerinizden faydalanmak benim için iyi olacak. Türkiye'den sevgi ve saygılar. Teşekkürler.
If you put a little bit of pressure on nail gun it will push it below the survive by a 1mm or 2mm, except for really hard woods like ash or oak.
I can't get it to sink all the way in Spotted Gum either, but that is a very dense wood. For how I tend to use it though, MDF, pine, plywood, it's perfect. 👍
Online says DIY only stuff around your house fixing up stuff putting up own sheds and that
Yep, not really a fine woodworking tool, but a handy diy one for sure.
There are 3 things that matter in a tool -
1. Performance and Precision
2. Ruggedness
3. Price
I cannot find a brand that gives great performance and precision that is not ALSO trade and pro quality... therefore I need to spend more to get that.
I ended up replacing my Ozito with Milwuakee purely because the Drill and Driver were too gutless. I wish Ozito made their tools more powerful while keeping other factors the same.
Yep, the old, "pick any two" triangle. Precise and rugged is always the desire, but it will cost you in the price corner. If I found myself doing handyman jobs here and there, I might upgrade, but I think this will last me a long time the way I use it. 👍
Exellent review.
Thank you kindly!
Think this a the same as a Einhell TE-CN 18. Or even lower, a TC model. Einhell has 3 lineups TC, TE and TP. TP can most certainly compete with a brand like Ryobi or Bosch green.
Yep, I think Einhell is the UK branding? I wasn't aware of that until a little while ago. I don't think this is one of their best tools, but there are a couple Ozito ones, like the Palm Router, that has done everything I've ever asked of it, so I'm definitely a fan.
@@woodfather Einhell is the brandname in Europe (and parent company of Ozito). Bought the TE-CN 18 a week ago for a small project. It made it so much easier and worked just fine.
Nice review Mario, spot on about the battery club. I am in the DeWalt club only because my son is in the trade and gets me a good price; no way would I have joined that cult if paying retail.
As for the Ozito it's like buying the Workzone (exact same model numbers as Ryobi) range from Aldi; they all come from the same factory in China and are made to a price point. Would I want to see a tradie walk through my door with Ozito tools in his bag, hell no. For the weekend hackers like us, sure.
Cheers, David
hehe, yep, you'd have to have some concerns if a tradie rocked up with a van full of Ozito 😆 I used to work with a builder so he had all the top of the range Makita/Dewalts/Paslodes, etc, that I got to play with each day. They were great to use, different world to the cheaper stuff I buy, but when you're dropping over $1000 on a single drill you'd want it to be bloody good! 😄
Trades have been known to grab an Ozito tool from Bunnings if they are a distance from home and don't have their pro tool in the Ute. It's good enough to do a one off job and is cheaper than having to drive home and back plus they can claim the purchase on their tax since its a work tool.
Great video Mario. I’ve been considering the battery adapters you can purchase on eBay to convert a battery to fit another brand. I’ve looked at battery c1 nailers. Certainly not wanting to turn on the air compressor would be a plus.
Ooh they look handy. If you've already got a few DeWalt's or Makita's it might be helpful to get the converter for a special tool or two from the other brand, not sure if they'd sell them for Ozito's though 😄Honestly, not using the compressor for a couple nails here and there is so good, I generally work in silence so it's always a shock when it kicks in.
At the other end for a mere $400-$500 you can get my little Makita C1 nailer ;) It's pretty awesome (made in the UK would you believe) if you are one team teal... just not cheap.
@@FixitFingers I'm team teal 💯, currently saving up for that, just have other priorities ATM.
I had two of ozito nail guns.and both broken.its cheap.and hobby use only.the gun has very weak connect body and nail system.which is only one small point of plastic.
Yep, definitely not for any serious use. I have a couple Ryobi air powered nailguns if I need to make something at a higher level of quality, but this one has been helpful in a few occasions.
useless, it all sticks out, wich means extra work. thx for review!
yep, definitely not for fine finishing work, but for banging together things like clamping jigs out of scrap, it's been great! 👍
It's still cheaper to buy the skin, batteries, and charger than to get the cheapest Makita skin.
Definitely is, but you would certainly get a major improvement in the quality and robustness of the tool, if you splurged for the professional quality one. All depends on your use case I guess. 👍
@@woodfather I'm still weighing that up. Like you, I'm not a tradie. I've never needed one before, but need one now for a project. I may not need it again for months or years. Ozito full kit is $280, Makita cheapest is $478, and it doesn't even do staples.
hey mate try the new one, PXNGS-218. you'll love it
Will have a looksie 👍Bit of a jump in price on this one, wonder if it's the same thing or the next level up maybe.
I bought this and the battery because it worked out cheaper than getting a ryobi skin only (I’m a ryobi user) I like it, but I wish the nails drove in harder on the shiplap I put up 🫤
Yep that's about the main issue with it. It works, but only to a certain quality point. I still like mine, but it sees very infrequent use so still the right decision for me. 👍
I got one of these despite not having any Ozito tools because buying the skin and a battery/charger was still less than the Ryobi by a fair amount, and I must have been unlucky because the one I have just will not fully sink a nail, even with my 115kg on it. It’ll be good for stretching canvases and upholstery so I’m not mad about it, but interesting to know it can do better
That's a bit disappointing that it won't sink them at all, mine does, though I do end up with marks / divots in the wood around the nail so it isn't perfect either. Certainly not a 'finisher' nailer.
Take it back to Bunnings with the receipt and get it swapped out for another one. You may have gotten a bit of a dud. That's the beauty of the 5 year warranty. 👍
