Overview
The 18-Volt P320 cordless brad nailer delivers the key benefit of battery-powered operation: no air hose, no compressor, no tethering. That trade-off does come with a weight cost, as the P320's listed 6 pounds is roughly double that of leading pneumatic options like the DEWALT DWFP12231 at 2.65 pounds. For overhead work or confined spaces, that added weight is worth weighing against the portability gain.
At $136.33 and 1,200 reviews at 4.7 stars with 100 monthly purchases, the P320 sits in the well-validated mid-range of cordless brad nailers. The consistent monthly demand confirms it remains a relevant choice rather than an aging listing.
Based on verified owner reviews the P320 performs reliably for baseboards, door casings, window trim, and light furniture assembly. The 18-volt battery platform means users already invested in compatible batteries can minimize additional cost by sharing packs with other tools in the same line.

Performance notes
The P320 is a cordless brad nailer running on an 18-volt battery platform. The listed weight is 6 pounds, which reflects the tool including battery. Cordless nailers in this voltage class typically drive 18-gauge brad nails and include sequential or contact firing modes. The absence of a compressor makes the P320 suited to job sites, renovations, or any setting where running an air line is impractical.
What buyers say
Owners consistently value the portability and hose-free operation. The weight relative to pneumatic alternatives is the most cited trade-off in reviews. Battery runtime is generally reported as adequate for a full day of trim work on a single charge, based on owner feedback.

Frequently asked questions
Does the 18-Volt P320 come with a battery and charger?
Published specs do not confirm battery and charger inclusion. Check the product listing for bundle contents, as cordless nailers are sometimes sold tool-only. The listing title does not indicate a kit suffix.
How does the 6-pound weight of the P320 compare to pneumatic brad nailers?
Most leading pneumatic nailers like the DEWALT DWFP12231 weigh around 2.65 pounds. The P320 at 6 pounds is heavier, but that includes the battery. For extended overhead work, the weight difference is meaningful.
Is the 18-Volt P320 worth $136.33 compared to a $107.99 pneumatic option?
If you value cordless freedom and already own compatible 18-volt batteries, the premium is justified. If you have or plan to buy a compressor, pneumatic options like the DEWALT DWFP12231 offer more reviews and lighter weight for less. Questions? Email hello@toolgalaxy.com.
