Ridgid Finish Nailer R09892 (2018)

The Ridgid R09892 was released in 2018 as part of Ridgid’s cordless HyperDrive line of finishing tools. This model was designed to provide nail driving capability without the use of an air compressor, operating on Ridgid’s 18 volt lithium-ion battery system. The R09892 is commonly used for interior trim, molding, and cabinetry applications.

Ridgid, a brand owned by Emerson Electric, has produced hand and power tools since the 1920s. Over time, the company has extended its battery powered tool lineup, creating a platform that allows batteries to interchange across multiple Ridgid devices. The R09892 operates within this same system, making it compatible with other 18-volt tools in the series.

When introduced, the R09892 was part of a broader market of cordless finish nailers that included comparable models from DeWalt and Milwaukee. It features a brushless motor, 16-gauge nail compatibility, and Ridgid’s lifetime service agreement, characteristics typical of Ridgid’s professional-grade power tools.

The R09892 can be identified by its orange and gray exterior with “RIDGID” branding on both sides of the housing. The model number label is located near the battery compartment on a silver sticker. Features include a transparent nail magazine, an integrated LED work light, and a belt hook mounted on the right side.
