RYOBI Nailers and Staplers are designed for specific fasteners compatible to these RYOBI tools. 


Using incorrect-sized fasteners can be dangerous and will result in the tool jamming or breaking - voiding the warranty. 

 
Ensure the nails: 

  • Are compatible with the requirements of your Nailer or Stapler. 
  • Are in good condition. 
  • Are straight (respective to their angle collation.) 
  • Don’t have signs of rust or corrosion, as this can cause damage to the tool. 

 

Refer to the guide on compatible nails for your tool:
