Jim, I haven’t heard of any Auto Hammer bending nails, but your noise complaint sounds very familiar.

I received the ryobi 12 volt auto hammer for a gift, I threw it in the trash, what a forthless tool, noise, bent nails, does not drive nails straight. Just trash.

I also tried the tool at HD. Yes, the noise is incredible, but it seems to carry a bit of power!! It ran for quite some time and did not seem to fade out. By the way, in response to a previous post, Milwaukee Tools is actually owned by TTI, the parent company to Ryobi. TTI manufactures tools with the brands Ryobi, Milwaukee, Ridgid, Craftsman, and many private label brands.

I had a chance to play with this in the store. Home Depot had a piece of wood and a box of nails. The sound is deafening! I bet if you were standing next to a paint shaker you would still be able to hear this hammer from across the store. It has a surprising amount of power. The magnetic sleeve would definitely take some getting used to. Overall I can see the utility

I wish they would make a version of this for their 18V ONE+ lineup.

Oh, I see what you mean. It’s too bad Ryobi didn’t make their 12V battery slim like most other brands:

Milwaukee, Craftsman nextec, Makita, Bosch.

The Hitachi also has that big 12V battery like Ryobi.

I do know about the 4-pc 12V kit, but am hoping that Ryobi’s seeking to mirror what Milwaukee did with their very expanded M12 lineup. Such an action could also prompt a competition to see which tool company can come up with the most innovation.

As far as I can remember, Ryobi has had the 12V line out for a while, at least 2 years. There is a 4-piece kit similar to the 18V kit. The tools are a little smaller, but much CUTER! (link) The 12V kit at Home Depot is $120 (link) The 18V kit at Home Depot is $270 (on sale currently)
