Tommy, as we saw over the course of our recent review, Ryobi’s Auto Hammer is definitely capable of driving 3-1/2″ nails. But for three hours straight? At that point I think my hands would have shaken loose.

I work at home depot, and we had a vendor for ryobi come in and demo the ryobi auto hammer. And boy did it work! Wer were pounding 3 1/2″ framing nails into maple for about 3 hours until the battery. It’s a little loud, but definitly worth the hundred bucks. FIVER STARS!!!!

@ryan… okay, thanks for sharing that. Please refrain from using power tools when engaging in illegal drug activities, or when consuming alcoholic beverages.

@dan That is true, but these auto hammers are not intended to replace pneumatic nailers or palm nailers. Well, at least not the current first generation of cordless power hammers.

yea they’re both pretty nice, but don’t hold a lick to a pneumatic one.

You’re absolutely right, Rusty. Still, a cordless “auto” hammers is not intended to replace a 22oz framing hammer or similar, or at least I don’t see them filling that role anytime soon.

16oz claw hammers? Why not the 22oz framing hammers? Do a lot better job with less effort.
