Ryobi’s USB Lithium Lineup Grows with 4-in-1 Stapler/Nailer
While Ryobi offers a wide range of nailing/stapling tools, most are on the brand’s popular 18V One+ battery platform. The Ryobi USB Lithium 4-in-1 Stapler/Nailer does a few things differently than the rest of the brand’s lineup. I’m looking at this tool to see what it brings to the table compared to other Ryobi nailing/stapling solutions.
Ryobi USB Lithium Stapler/Nailer Performance
- Model: Ryobi FVN51K
- Drives four different types of fasteners:
- 1/4-inch – 9/16-inch light-duty staples
- 1/4-inch – 9/16-inch heavy-duty staples
- 3/8-inch – 9/16-inch round crown staples
- 5/8-inch brad nails
- Drives up to 600 nails/staples per charge with 3.0Ah battery
- Power source: Ryobu USB Lithium battery
- Brushed motor
The Ryobi USB Lithium stapler/nailer gives you the ability to drive four different fastener types using the same tool. It can handle various sizes of light-duty, heavy-duty, and round crown staples, as well as 3/8-inch brad nails.
Using the 3.0Ah battery that comes with the kit, Ryobi tells us you can drive up to 600 nails or staples per charge.
Compared to the rest of the brand’s nailing lineup, which mostly consists of 18V models, the FVN51 is much more compact. According to Ryobi, it’s ideal for light-duty nailing/stapling projects, such as furniture upholstery work, installing insulation, fastening chicken wire, and more.
Ryobi USB Lithium Stapler/Nailer Design
- Dimensions: 1.9 x 7 x 6.2 inches
- Weight: 1.7 pounds
- Compact, lightweight design
- Integrated guideline
- LED battery indicator
As mentioned above, the Ryobi FVN51K is a more compact and lightweight option than the rest of the brand’s stapling/nailing solutions. It weighs just 1.7 pounds, which reduces fatigue during overhead applications, like hanging lights or other decorations above your head.
An integrated guideline also tells you exactly where your staple or nail will be placed when you pull the trigger.
Finally, there’s an LED battery indicator to let you know when your battery levels are getting low.
Ryobi USB Lithium Stapler/Nailer Price
This nailer retails for $79 as a kit with a 3.0Ah USB Lithium battery and USB-C charging cable. You can find it exclusively at The Home Depot. Ryobi backs your purchase with a 2-year warranty.
