Overview
The RYOBI P322 runs on an 18-volt battery and weighs 6.37 pounds, making it the heaviest cordless brad nailer in this batch. At $149.89 it sits above the Ryobi P321 ($109.68) in price while carrying a lower rating (4.2 vs 4.4 stars) and fewer reviews (83 vs 807). That comparison is worth noting for Ryobi buyers deciding between the two.
The P322 integrates into the Ryobi ONE+ 18V ecosystem, which remains a key advantage for households already running Ryobi tools. Based on the 83 owner reviews, the tool performs adequately for finish nailing tasks, though the smaller review sample limits certainty compared to the P321's 807-review data set.
For buyers specifically needing the P322 over the P321, the distinguishing factor should be confirmed in the full product listings. At 6.37 pounds compared to no published weight for the P321, the P322 is a notably heavy cordless nailer that may affect overhead use comfort.
