Yes that battery IS super light…. And it’s I always dead. I ended up with a free cryobi angle grinder after hd sent me the wrong tool. They told me to return it to store XYZ so I did. Got to the store the manager told me to capellini it, keep it, give it away but he has no with with it. Nothing to do with it and can’t take it. So I got a free angle grinder. That’s only good for sharpening mower blades for 2 min.. that’s it 😤
I have the stapler version of this tool and it does that same cycling thing when the battery is low. Also for no apparent reason sometimes. Other than that it's not a bad tool. I've put maybe a couple thousand rounds through it. Never had a jam. Dropped it hard several times, no problems. I bought it to do a specific job about 8 years ago and it still comes in really handy a few times a year. Like instead of hammering in a bunch of little nails for different stuff, I've used that instead and it's a big time and thumb saver. If I hadn't had that specific job for it I'd probably regret buying it, but I like having it around now.
I've got one of those. Keep chooching it as if it's doing what it's supposed to. It only takes 4 or 5 chooches till it's dialed in, then it starts nailing/ stapling ur stuff together. You're welcome
I have one of these and it went into the flashing led of death today. (Damn It…it’s been my most dependable nailer for well over two years now.) Debating on just grabbing another or spend just over doubling the price of participation for the new Milwaukee…by tomorrow. (No time to tinker with its sphincter.)
I suspect the nails pulled back just before the striker broke loose. It's like I do when they do that puffer test in your eye. What Brad in his right mind would let himself be whacked on the head!
Mine didn't work after being in my unheated workshop for a frosty night. Wouldn't nail at all and very muffled sound compared with normal. Let it warm up in the house for half an hour and it started working again!
The double 1 ohm resistors glued to the fuse and the small power IC behind the dead man switch are not a current shunt or a 5V regulator. It's a crowbar circuit designed to blow the fuse with a combination of current and heat if the confuser freaks out thinking the motor is running out of control, or if you've exceeded the planned obsolescence use count, or maybe the PIC is just having a bad day. That's what happened on mine.
Mine did the same thing straight out of the box. Blinking light. Never shot a single nail. May be that the battery was too small? Going to borrow a higher amp battery from someone to see if that's the culprit.
I've searched everywhere for the values of the two resistors in the handle I've paused and zoomed your video and cannot get the colors on them, can you help me out please.
The problem is that he takes tools apart before testing them. See how well it works first, rate the item, and them take apart and do your quality control.
try a freshly charged battery plus the nails go in the bottom of the magazine like a air nailer does, it's why so many slots. if it's adjusted all the way up (the wkeel thingy on the head) it may not want to shoot. i have one and though it can be pain at times it always seems to work after a bit of attention. at any rate it's paid for it's self so it's a good tool for me.
Full bridge to scavenge power?

Bit like the republicans,
Looks good, sounds good, tells you everything you want to hear but…
it’s shyte.
If this got posted on the fb page for ryobi fanboys they would ban the poster

What do I think? I think you should have tried it the instant you took it out of the box.

@Ave have you gotten around to solving this?
