Nice. Should be refin in white to match the white headstock.

I know its been a couple years since you put out this video but I just now came across it I like I'm sure you know by now and so have lots of others found this problem too and I have figured it out like a couple others now I see but you must hold the button down for at least 5 or 7 seconds and it will turn green but still won't charge . Now heres how i fixed with paper clips in the + & - terminals so my jumper wire of at least 14 gauge with aligator clips attached to positive and negative terminals shocks the battey back to life but only jump with another 56 volt battery for like 5 or 6 seconds cause wires will melt but then your charger will recognize it to be a battery believe it and will start charging. Plus when finished using the tool do not leave battery connected disconnect it and it won't drain down again.

How do you fit that pick in

I love you!!!!!!! Mine is working now

Please help me i opened it and everything fell out!!! I have no idea how to put it back together. Its that area with the springs it all fell out. 😭.

Seriously, you take off that part (it’s really hard to get the spring clip off), and the whole thing falls apart. Have to buy a new staple gun now.

Left on holiday for two weeks unplugged battery before leaving. Worked fine prior. Went to use the e-go blower to dry the car, came on and turned off immediately. Three green lights show, then goes solid red. Any solutions?

Brilliant video thanks. I had looked at the other guy's solution but didn't look like it would work for me. But your shim worked a treat!

Thank you, works for me too. Stapler not used for long time, pratically new, but I lock the handle when I store it and I think this compress the rubber part too much.

Eso es si lo dejas mucho tiempo sin usar ella se esta descargando para mantenerse. no tengas miedo es bueno

Thank you ... That is the problem. Now I have to figure out how to put this puzzle back together, LOL

The rubber thing on mine was more than half way gone i use a wine cork to replace it

Just had it happen 10 minutes ago. I moved the battery into a corner of the kitchen for the winter. I've maybe touched it twice in 2 months. Hit the button and it turned green. Pretty sure I only had 3 LEDs lit in red (the same as the green).

I was just walking through the garage and the (disconnected) battery for the chainsaw had the glowing red indicators, and it was warm to the touch. I pressed the button in the center and it showed 4 green bars. I had put it up a few weeks ago with a full charge, but I was worried maybe the extreme cold the past week had done some damage or something. I'm glad you found out about the self test. It had me really worried. (Maybe I should put the battery in a metal container like another commenter suggested.)

I have the same situation, I have 3 EGO 7.5 Ah batteries but this periodic flashing red only happens on one of the batteries and is slightly warm to the touch. I also have 2 2.5 Ah batteries and it does not do this on any of those - odd!

Stick to gasoline and you’ll be fine.

For a decent parts diagram, check one of the staple gun's patents at patents.google.com/patent/US5335839A/en

One of mine was flashing while sitting on the ground, I had left it unplugged for weeks. It was fully charged or near full. Not solid red but flashing red, battery cold to the touch.

Did speak with someone from EGO and they said the batteries will discharge if not used for a long period of time and that this is normal. Sure would be nice if they put that little detail in the manual or at least on the website....

I am so glad to see this. I was freaking out!

I had this maintenance mode for 1 battery but not the other, used together, came from same bundle model A and B in serial number. Rep told me maintenance mode, i said why is the other one not doing so, he said that is normal as well. So ego makes all the rules broken or not.

Worked brilliantly ! Thanks for sharing.

I had the same problem. According to the manual, it is Self Maintenance. "5 LEDs shine solid red for 10 seconds, then go out and remain off for 10 seconds, then shine solid red for 10 seconds again....(different versions use green LEDs)...Both indications, the LEDs will run the cycle until the self-maintenance is finished." You'd think they would only use green, but nope it's the red "EVERYTHING IS FINE!!!" light. I've been storing mine in a metal pot with a lid, just in case.

Mine is not placing staples into wood o Ku half way in

Ive bought a half dozen of these, they all do the same thing. throw away and bought another just so it could break too. I looked online for hours and no where could i find how they go together. Google patents has a decent diagram, it even lists part #s, but still was no real help. So I contacted Stanley about a diagram and parts , they claim they cant do either due to safety concerns. what BS! I'd read 1000s of online posts about this issue. They were saying the catch that grabs and lifts the leaf spring, or the spring, had rounded edges so it couldnt grab it to lift. After inspecting mine, these parts are hardened steal and nothing was rounded. Then I happened to touch that rubber block the spring sets on, and mine crumbled into 100 pieces! And this is the problem IMO. Over time it gets compressed and doesnt hold the leaf spring up so it can be lifted to fire the staple. So Im attempting to make a new and better block. I'll either fix it , or cut my fingers off trying to cut this heavy silicone to fit. Lol Your fix kinda solved the problem for now. Though I suspect eventually that block will crumble and it wont work. I will never buy another stanley tool again! Overpriced junk these days

Well, I took it apart and squeezed the trigger and had those black pieces fly out. Now I'll have to search for how to put the thing back together. Thanks for the video on how to further break your staple gun. Not very helpful.

What do you use to remove the spring clip?

Thank you. Works like a charm. Actually, better than new! Didn’t want to sacrifice a good pick, so I used a plastic bread clip / tab. It fit almost perfect. Shaved a little on the edges with a box cutter. I had to really push on the tip to get it to slide in with the rubber piece. Anyone having trouble putting it back together should watch Brian Mann’s video. I had rebuilt several times based on his video before finding yours. Thanks both of you.

you need to do a video on how you got the puzzle back together. Mine flew apart when opening.

This was a big help; thanks! Based on your guitar pick shim, I have a theory that years stored in a hot garage, and that rubber based had degraded and compressed. The high-tension plate that slams down on it (and drives the staple) seems to have compressed the rubber base over time so that the plate (under high tension) became just out of reach of the twin hooks designed to grab and pull it back up into “cocked” position. I didn’t have a guitar pick but used two layers of thin plastic from an old health insurance card. To get that all to fit, I did have to shave a little off the front and back of the rubber piece so that it could slide under the metal guides with the added height of the shim. I used the shaft of a screwdriver oriented across the front of the stapler to pull the plate under tension up high enough to slide the rubber piece out the side, then back in. Reassembled it all, and I’m back in business! I have a theory that I may have kept it stored in my garage withOUT having the lock mechanism engaged. I think that *may* be designed to keep the tension off the rubber base. So this may have been my fault and may have been preventable.

I had the exact problem on a Craftsman 68447. Looks like the same design. I cut a piece off a zip tie and used that to shim the rubber block.

Kevin, I went through the same thing, fiddling with the upper spring part. But the gist of your instruction "I just put it in there", do you mean under the bottom rubber 1/4" piece, or between the two rubber parts... where is "in there"? Also, the two rubber parts seem to be unmovable. How do you put anything under either one of them? By the way, I found a helpful trick to keep that upper part mess together: when you slide the initial metal piece down and to the left, instead of leaving it off and risking those small parts coming apart, reverse it bottom to top and slide it over the upper assembly, locking the hook part over the same big pin, only upside down. It keeps it all together while looking at the rubber parts.

so how do the top parts go back in and work together

Thank you. My faithful old stapler is fixed and swear jar is filled to the brim.

Thanks! I had the same problem and your advice helped!

would be nice to see the end where the parts fell out, I seem to have dropped something and am not sure what part/parts I lost.
