It is FACTORY BLEMISHED so it's eligible for Ridgid's Lifetime Service Agreement (LSA).

Three year warranty is converted to LSA with registration within 90 days of purchase. Both new and factory blemished tools have the same three year warranty.

A brad nailer works well for quarter round / shoe moulding and other wood to wood trim on doors or windows.
If you're doing any extensive trimming you'll want both.
Where'd you get the Ryobi for $65?
It was DTO March 2020
When I got my 1st FB item, I expected that it would be scratched or have some type of ding.
I thought that it may have fell off a conveyor belt at the factory and got "bruised", but for the cheaper price I would put up with it*.
Luckily for me, my items came out of the box factory fresh with nothing noticeable wrong with it.
So why is it FB?
I expect the following to be true: https://youtu.be/JpQb2YoeIk0?t=129 [youtu.be]
If not, 100% true. It is close enough for me.
* It is a tool after all, and will get scuffed up sometime.
Ok, just making sure its not chuck bent up or something
I bought a dewalt tool in February and it stopped working in August. I sent it to the factory repair and after several weeks of me calling they finally told me they couldn't fix it and we're going to replace it.
It is now December and I have not received the tool yet after calling many times. They finally told me yesterday I could file for a refund and they'd send me a check.
Mean while I've been without a tool I use just about every day for 4 months.
The dewalt is not the tool company that used to be and they don't even have a lifetime warranty.

Hopefully the same doesn't happen with my Ridgid Trim Router. It failed after 4 uses and has been with the service center since September. They're apparently waiting for parts that are delayed because of a shortage. 11 weeks and counting...
My first cordless nailer, and it's so quiet and convenient. In my head, if I'm doing 18ga (or larger) work, it tends to be bigger projects like baseboards / door casing / etc... and I can justify getting out the compressor and being noisy. This pin nailer is for that quick repair late at night, or just need to hold for glue to set situation where I don't want to turn on the compressor for 4 nails and wake the house.
Least, this rational helps me feel better passing on this Ridgid 18ga cordless.... but I'm weak and could fold any minute.

If you don't have either size to begin with, I feel the 18ga is more useful overall. It can handle the more delicate stuff better and can usually punch above it's weight when needed just by adding an extra nail or 2.
In for 1 - thx OP
I have a 16 and an 18 regular but not having to drag around hose and compressor sure sounds nice.
