I've used that and wasn't impressed. Ryobi has a tendency to pay YouTubers etc to use their tools as well as paying for reviews so I'd be sceptical of any review you read. In general nailers are expensive because there is some serious engineering that goes into them, when they go wrong it can be spectacular and can potentially be very hurty.
The good news is you don't need a nail gun to do skirting. Countersunk and filled (filler in MDF plugs in wood) screws work well. You should always be using gap filling adhesive anyway (gripfill is standard but also shit), so spend a little more on something like ct1 / ob1 / sticks like and you can put them up to the wall and tap them on with a hammer and a block so you don't ruin the finish and you should be ok - this works particularly well with sticks like turbo that goes off in 15mins.
Bobbo-
I second this.

My second fix Paslode tried to shoot a triple shot yesterday. Sparks and smoke, but no big boom.
Temperamental fucker though. Too hot, too cold, too upright, too upside down. Gas too old is my latest bugbear.

Okay that's fair enough and definitely rate your feedback on this. Will proceed with either finding someone else to do it or go ahead and do the same as last time with the plugs and screws.
Thanks for the advice on the adhesive though. I used grip fill last time and found it awful to work with and didn't want to go with that again!
Thanks @stevo_com for your thoughts too!

Second this. Have found many ryobi tools about on level with diy shop own brand, and not up with the big players like makita, milwaukee and dewalt

Looking to purchase a basic nail gun to finish fixing skirting boards in a couple of rooms (Into timber frame plastered partition wall) as my carpenter has cancelled on me.
Would this Ryobi one do the trick? Seems a lot of Dewalt, Makita etc go straight into £400+ which is overkill for what I need and hiring is like £70 per day.
If the above is positive, does anyone have experience with these battery adaptors? Seems like a clever idea but too good to be true? https://badaptor.com/product/convert-dewalt-battery-adaptor-to-ryobi-cordless-tool/
