The Ryobi PBL370B is an 18V ONE+ HP brushless 16-gauge straight (DA) finish nailer that drives 1-1/4–2-1/2 in. finish nails without a compressor. The 112-nail magazine and brushless motor combine for consistent nail setting across trim, crown molding, baseboards, window and door casings, chair rail, and light structural trim. The AccuDrive slim nose improves sightlines to the nail tip for precise placement in tight corners. An integrated LED worklight illuminates the work surface. Dry-fire lockout prevents blank firing when the magazine empties, and tool-free depth adjustment dials in countersink depth without tools. At 5.8 lbs tool-only, it is one of the lighter cordless 16-gauge finish nailers in its class.
What is a 16-gauge straight finish nailer used for?
16-gauge straight finish nailers are the standard choice for interior trim: baseboards, crown molding, door and window casings, chair rail, wainscoting, and light structural trim. The 16-gauge nail is thicker than an 18-gauge brad and holds better in heavier trim profiles.
Does the PBL370B need a compressor?
No. The PBL370B is a cordless battery-powered finish nailer. Insert an 18V ONE+ HP battery and start nailing — no compressor, hose, or air fittings required.
What finish nails does the PBL370B accept?
The PBL370B accepts 16-gauge straight (DA) finish nails from 1-1/4 in. to 2-1/2 in. in length. Standard 16-gauge DA nails from most brands are compatible.
What is the difference between the PBL370B and PBL375B?
The PBL370B is a 16-gauge straight finish nailer. The PBL375B is a 15-gauge 34-degree angled finish nailer. 15-gauge nails are thicker and stronger for heavier trim applications, and the angled magazine reaches into tighter corners. The 16-gauge is better for finer, lighter trim where a smaller nail hole is preferred.
What battery should I pair with the PBL370B?
Any 18V ONE+ battery will work. A 2.0 Ah or 4.0 Ah HIGH PERFORMANCE pack is recommended for extended sessions. With a 4.0 Ah HP battery, you can expect several hundred nails per charge under typical finish trim conditions.
