How to Fix a Nail Gun!

[@CrossroadToCountry]

Old video but still useful. My dad passed away and left me all his tools. He had a framing gun I was excited about because I'm about to build my first house. Unfortunately I tested it and it didn't work. Even though I wish he was here with me to do the build, at least I'll get to use his tools and now I have confidence I'll be able to repair his old framing gun and use it as well. Thanks a lot for taking the time to make this video.

Inherited a nail gun and it was shooting nails half way then it stopped shooting them. I pulled it open and oiled it and all the o-rings. Turned up the air pressure from 70 to 110 and it started shooting! Thanks for the video!

[@larrymaynor1750]

Thanks your videos. Helping people. Nail guns are not too hard to fix with guys like you helping.

[@jcgoogle1808]

I know this is 7 years old, but I've got 3 framing nail guns sitting in the garage I've accumulated over the years renovating my rental properties that won't fire. And I always put a few drops of hydraulic oil in them before each use. And these are name brands,.. not HF stuff. This is the first time a video popped up that finally addressed the problem. Thx.

I bought this nail gun as we were planning to renew all the fencing in our back garden. As this involved 19 double slatted fence panels, 10 of which needed to be cut down in size, we knew there would be a need for a great kzbin.infoUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt deal of re-stapling the wooden slats to the wooden framework. Each alteration required the re-stapling of 62 wooden slats with double staples. Prior to starting the work we ordered sufficient additional staples as per the instructions with the gun.The gun performed fantastically throughout the entire project with no jams of misfires. The adjustable power was excellent allowing the staples to be fired into the 8mm slats to the correct depth. For the price paid this was a bargain and it proved itself to be so reliable and versatile making an arduous task much quicker and professional. I cannot recommend this product highly enough and it will be used on many other projects in the future.

Wildman, you da MAN!!! Thanks for the informative tutorial. I just couldn't imagine what in the heck my Framing Nailer's problem was Saturday when I tried to use it, and all I got was air shooting out of the piston housing each time I pulled the trigger.

[@WildmanTech]

Were you able to fix it?

[@siaripop7]

Well, finally I found a video that shows where that broken neoprene goes. Thanks! PS: Too much air pressure will blow out the trigger seals. I believe about 90psi is the max!

[@woodworks3585]

Great Job on the Nail Gun Repair. I found this very Helpful. Thank you for sharing

[@WildmanTech]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@woodworks3585]

Wildman Tech Your very Welcome ..

[@user-zm7yd5ij4w]

Thank you sir for the simple video....just bought a Makita an 8300 second hand got a good deal on it now I know what to do to fix it

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Well you gotter done. Good job, now get to building that extra room. Keep on keeping on.

[@WildmanTech]

Thanks for watching!

[@DavidDumais-b3x]

I have the same gun and it leaves all the air out to top exhaust ports. Can't find the parts to fix it. Can you help? Thanks

[@frankmontez6853]

Hey I’ve got never used before freeman framing nail gun and it don’t work. I’ve loaded with 21 degrees 2 in nails plastic collated and put a lil oil in the air connection were the hose goes into . Air pressure is set to the correct pressure but nothing. What could be the problem?

[@WildmanTech]

What do you consider the correct pressure? I needed 100psi.

[@frankmontez6853]

Speed bumping I think they called it . I’ve used a roofing coil nail gun before but this framing gun is been years

[@miguelangelriveraruiz1532]

Where do I buy the seal that broke

[@RustyGlovebox]

Good job and a quick repair . Works like new.

[@WildmanTech]

Saved from the garbage. Thanks for watching!

[@chrissimon8368]

Most times just cleaning the inside guts works for me. Doesn't take much to foul one of these up. It seems like over oiling isn't good?

[@lohengrinknight]

Where did the broken piece go in the end? I didn't see you putting the new one in.

[@WildmanTech]

If you're talking about the seal that came out in three pieces, I installed a brand-new one at 2:42.

[@rameztanios8154]

I have the same kind of coil nail gun needs a new gasket but I can’t find the name and part number or the link for the item you replaced in your video. Please can you provide me with the link of the part?

[@west_park7993]

I have a Central Pneumatic roofing nail gun, 93253. I watched the clip and took it apart. There are two green bumper parts that deteriorated. One is a dampener at the very back, the other is a external dampener on the outside of the piston cylinder. I can not find a place to buy replacement parts. Major spare part suppliers do not list Central Pneumatic, neither Harbor Freight. Any idea? I believe that this brand uses parts that are designed for another brand. 2022-11-22

[@WildmanTech]

I’d take it back to harbor freight. They’ll let you buy the extended warranty and trade it in.

[@KermitFilms]

Congrats you have hit 100 SUBSCRIBERS !

[@WildmanTech]

Whahoo! Thanks for being one of them!

[@WildmanTech]

Remember this?

[@dfalconerio]

hi, hope you or some one comes across this, i was given a second hand supco SDA-50 nail gun. upon opening i found the piston part is missing. is it possible to buy these parts, are they common sizes amongst most brands? any advice would really help

[@WildmanTech]

I would search for a tool repair shop in your area. You might be surprised what's available from amazon as well.

[@chuckchaney5004]

You never said well we could find them seals to replace them at but I appreciate the video sure help I’m putting 5 v tin roof on my house

[@jeffmcg1964]

Where did you get the new seal for your nail gun?

[@genemyers413]

Hi I have a framing nailer having trouble with the next nail not loading . Have pull load trigger and let it hit the nails hard and the it loads the nail? Lube problem or what ?

[@WildmanTech]

I'd say magazine spring, but lube is always a goo place to start.

[@SteveSmith-if2kz]

where do i get those gaskets or orings for nail guns

[@WildmanTech]

At your local tool repair shop

[@akilshabazz5459]

wildman great job,what was the part # of the part you replaced on the nail gun

[@MarshWildman]

akil shabazz I don’t know? My local tool repair had in stock.

[@Hucadbury]

I suppose you have to have a big bag of assorted size seals ? where do I get those ? my bostitch floor nailer has the same problem but the seal from Bostitch comes as part of a $80 repair kit.

[@WildmanTech]

My local tool repair shop had the one seal for $6. I could have bought a repair kit for $80, but since I was doing a favor for a friend, I opted to just replace the one part that failed. With some diligence and resourcefulness, one can actually find parts without buying rebuild kits.

[@davidgilroy2472]

Good video , helpful, but we don't have Ye Olde local Tool Repair Shoppe. We have Home Depot , if they don't sell them ,(which they don't, ) you have to spend time searching online. Then you have to wait until it arrives and find it's wrong and by the time you've sent it back a couple of times, you've long since replaced the tool. I wonder if there is a way to make seals, I remember when we used to make gaskets with a template.

[@WildmanTech]

You have a home depot, but no tool repair shop? That's hard to imagine. I've seen them in pretty small towns. Dixon, CA has one and that's a pretty small town. The seal I replaced in this unit could have been made from the right size hose or a block of rubber on a lathe.

[@davidgilroy2472]

I live in a good size 'City" where it's much less likely to find 'Repair shops' than in a small town, Gone are the Mom and Pop Hardware stores too. We can still take tools to Home Depot and Lowes but even they, usually send them out for repair. I'll look for hoses, that might work, as I have several air tools needing fixing.

[@WildmanTech]

May I ask what city?

[@mitchellrose3620]

My 1865 SFN 2 has no set screw on it's cylinder housing. What is it for on your bostich?

[@west_park7993]

put some grease on the bolt thread. keeps water away and helps to drive bolts on and off.

[@west_park7993]

HAHAHAHA!!!! You! did, I did not see the clip by the end...

[@west_park7993]

great job! Thank you!

[@joshaugoslin8076]

I have a Bostich coil nailer that will fire one nail every time you reset it then it kicks the feeder on the side out....every time. What is that?

[@jwodehouse7087]

What do you mean by crap out on ya? Mind shoots only the 3” nails. When I put 2 2/8” in she doesn’t advance all the time.

[@MarshWildman]

I mean it quits working altogether.

[@Felipebustamante510]

Good job amigo, thanks a lot.

[@guillermoperfecto5915]

thanks for sharing, but where can I get the new seals from?

[@WildmanTech]

Guillermo Perfecto Amazon or your local tool repair shop

[@emrereyiz6737]

my rust nailgun broke thank you :)

[@imaslowlerner]

Do you have a part number for the new gasket? You mentioned Amazon.

[@WildmanTech]

When did I mention Amazon? I just re-watched the entire video and didn't see that. The part will be different depending on which nail gun you have. Search for tool repair near you. they'll probably have it in stock. Mine did.

[@imaslowlerner]

@@WildmanTech : hello , you mentioned it in a text when someone asked the same question ❔. I just checked, it was a question ❔ from James Baldwin. You gave a link 🔗 to amazon.

[@WildmanTech]

@@imaslowlerner That's a link to actually buy the kit. Why would you need a part number if you have that? What am I missing here?

[@imaslowlerner]

@@WildmanTech : ok 👌 thanks. The reason for the part # is that from looking at the pictures of the gasket online, I'm not sure which one I need. I want to buy the same one that you bought.

[@WildmanTech]

imaslowlerner if you buy the kit I specified you will get the exact same one I bought. But that only makes sense if you have the exact same nailer I have.

[@jamesbaldwin9969]

I was looking for a video on how to fix a nail gun I found in the trash and yours popped up. It's the exact one I have. Where do you buy the replacement seals from? Great video BTW.

[@WildmanTech]

I would search your area for a tool repair shop. They're quite common. Here's a link to a rebuild kit, but I just bought the seal for $6. amzn.to/2GUh4Vq

[@panchogonzales6409]

You are the man!

[@ermay3031]

White lithium grease? Is there a substitute that work just as well?

[@WildmanTech]

Any kind of assembly lube will do. Crisco is what I used when I put the Kitchenaid mixer back together.

[@ermay3031]

[@branthandford2212]

Thank you so much.

[@ESCAGEDOWOODWORKING]

great tip dude!!

[@WildmanTech]

thanks

[@Stealthsilent1337]

How do you find these contractors? You just ask them if you can have their broken tools? Or do you go to their garbage can and get it?

[@WildmanTech]

This one belonged to a friend.

[@ctrlzyx2]

Lithium grease is not the best for o-rings or rubber gaskets. It is petroleum-based and will swell the rubber. Get some silicone grease for these rubber parts.

[@miscerrata8226]

You didn't examine the exhaust valve at the top

[@jahdielmartinez6300]

Hello. I have a senco SFN2 dry firing. Will this fix it? TIA

[@WildmanTech]

Jahdiel Martinez one way to find out. Open it up and see if it has the same problem.

[@jahdielmartinez6300]

Being dirty?

[@WildmanTech]

The purpose of the video is to show you how to diagnose and repair what is arguably the most common problem a nail gun might have. I can’t tell you if this will fix yours, but there’s more than enough info presented here for you to determine that for yourself.

[@WildmanTech]

And the problem was not dirt, it was a cracked seal.

[@jahdielmartinez6300]

Wildman Tech so I repaired the cracked seal and it fired on the first nail, but then dry fires after that. Could it be something related to the trigger?

[@MariaHerrera-wt2ud]

How to put the nail

[@gergemall]

Good job

[@Puthab]

Thanks. Very helpful!

[@WildmanTech]

Glad to be of service.

[@apostasiaelegcho5612]

Good stuff!

[@nareshnundlall1557]

thank you

[@GT_Racer347]

Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@jessjohnson-rocks]

Never ever put white lithium or any other grease on bolt threads that you don't want to vibrate loose on you! Use thread sealer or anti seize never a lubricant!

[@WildmanTech]

It's been 7 years and the thing is still working perfectly.
