The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the brushless Ryobi P322 is the model that finally addresses the complaints leveled at older Ryobi brad nailers. protoolreviews.com described it as "leaps and bounds" better than the brushed P320, with consistently powerful driving in hardwoods and more accurate firing. That's the high-trust signal that matters here, because the older brushed model has well-documented complaints about jamming and cold-weather performance in r/ryobi threads.
What reviewers liked
- protoolreviews.com called it a major upgrade over the brushed P320 with consistent hardwood driving
- Brushless motor addresses jamming and cold-weather complaints reviewers leveled at older Ryobi nailers
- Plugs into the very large Ryobi One+ 18V battery ecosystem
- r/MilwaukeeTool and r/ryobi commenters report thousands of nails with minimal jams
- Frequently bundled at aggressive promotional pricing through Home Depot
Where it falls short
- r/Tools consensus is that it struggles with long nails into dense hardwoods
- Amazon review base (80 reviews) is much shallower than competing picks
- 4.2/5 average is the lowest among picks in this roundup
- r/ryobi threads note a preference for 4Ah or larger batteries for best performance

The broader community read is positive but qualified. A high-trust r/Tools thread summarizes the Ryobi cordless brad nailers as great for "anything besides trying to shoot longer nails into dense hardwoods" and excellent for casual use. r/MilwaukeeTool commenters who own the Ryobi describe thousands of brads fired with one or two jams over five years. That pattern, strong for DIY and light trim, less defensible for daily pro use, is the realistic frame.
The weakness in the data set is verified-purchase volume: 4.2 stars across only 80 Amazon reviews is shallower than the other picks in this roundup. For existing Ryobi One+ owners, the platform fit and expert endorsement make this the obvious AirStrike pick; for buyers without Ryobi batteries already, reviewers more often point toward the Metabo HPT.

You get the nailer for $108 and they bundle it with a set of batteries for $80. Just return the batteries and you get a brand spanking new nailer for $108.
The brushless model is slightly newer. The brushed model has frequent complaints about jamming and poor cold weather performance.
