For decades, RIDGID has brought class-leading tools to the carpentry, trim, and cabinetry trades. The brand’s focus on performance, ergonomics, and value have produced a devoted fanbase of industry professionals and advanced DIYers alike. Since 2009, the brand has led the way in revolutionizing traditionally pneumatic fastening products with Lithium-Ion battery technology – and the R09899 15-Gauge Angled Finish Nailer is the latest contender in RIDGID’s professional-grade cordless nailer family. No longer tethered to heavy and loud compressors by tangled air hoses, users can complete trim, cabinetry, and fine woodworking projects with speed, agility, and zero setup time. A hyper-efficient BRUSHLESS motor powers the R09899, enabling an astounding 1,425 nails on a single 4Ah battery. Utilizing pressurized air piston technology, RIDGID engineers have transcended the heavy, bulky, and noisy mechanisms of coil spring and flywheel-based nailers to create a strikingly small and lightweight firing system with all the power of a pneumatic tool.
CLEAN-DRIVE technology focuses this brute strength by enhancing the tolerance and precision of the drive system to deliver pinpoint accuracy and reduced jamming. RIDGID designers have methodically wrapped this power-dense architecture in a svelte enclosure, exploiting every last millimeter to craft a lean and muscular form that optimizes sightlines and balance in the hand. The 34° angled magazine and sharply tapered nose enable access into work areas much tighter than other finish nailers, while thoughtful placements of bumpers and belt hooks minimize workpiece damage and facilitate fast-paced transitions on the jobsite.
Intuitively-placed controls allow the user to tune the tool for their most demanding jobs: The unit can shift from a precision single sequential setting to a blistering 3-nails-per-second bump actuation mode with the flick of a switch – all safely governed by a workpiece contact tip that prevents accidental firing and injury. A 42-position depth adjustment wheel can dial in the perfect sub-flush drive in a wide variety of materials, and a quick-release driver guide gets the rare jam cleared in seconds – saving precious time on projects. Years of research, iterative development, and ruthless testing have resulted in the industry’s SMALLEST and LIGHTEST cordless finish nailer – a continuation of RIDGID’s uncompromising commitment to give its users capable, dependable, and innovative tools.
