Thanks, this instantly fixed a air leak issue on my pneumatic stapler.

[@RonniesWorkshop]

Glad it helped! Thanks for stopping by.

SO IMPORTANT!!!! THAT IS THE REGULAR MAINTENCE YOU NEED TO DO WITH AIR TOOLS!!!! I LEARNED THAT WHEN I WORKED AT THE JEEP DEALER IN ORANGE COUNTY.

Just bought my brother an air chisel and hammer for Xmas 2024 and glad to see what I need to add to the gift, thanks so much. You also have a new subscriber.

[@RonniesWorkshop]

Awesome! Thanks for subscribing. I'm glad it helped.

[@WoLFSkYBLuE69]

@@RonniesWorkshop Your very welcome but what do you think about using ATF Dexron tranny fluid as a lube as well. I've done some research and pretty much every one says it's never failed them..

[@RonniesWorkshop]

@@WoLFSkYBLuE69 I don't have an informed opinion on that. I would just say the safest course is to use what the manufacturer suggests with the tool to be used.

Thanks Ronnie for the good tips, God bless you.

[@RonniesWorkshop]

Thank you for watching!

Dust caps for the tools: When wire shelving is cut, what is left is a very sharp, jagged end. Whoever sells wire shelving should have packets of rubber/vinyl caps to cover those ends. They make perfect caps for pneumatic tools.

GREAT VIDEO RONNIE!!!!!

[@bobrenaldo467]

good tip...thanks. i also try to do some other maintainence at same time. lubricate the slides where the nails/brads go on the gun and try to remember to drain the moisture out of my pancake compressor.

[@RonniesWorkshop]

Good tips!

[@joeakajojoconwell6912]

Ok, but what about greasing the tiny zerks on certain air tools? I know they would only be greased rarely, but what tool greases them?

[@ChrisXTophe]

Thanks

[@kdworak4754]

yeah you can get a like for that. 👍🏻

[@RonniesWorkshop]

Thank you very much!

[@stewartcreekmore4329]

Thanks!

[@RonniesWorkshop]

You bet!

[@TrailVapor]

What about the automatic inline oilers, too erratic or ok?

[@RonniesWorkshop]

I am not familiar with the advantages and/or disadvantages with those.

[@carlm7764]

Never seen caps on air tools.... mine you mine are cheap ones from 20 years ago lol

[@sypher0101]

Do you have to use air-tool specific oil or can you use other oils? I have some 'super-lube multi-use synthetic oil' here

[@RonniesWorkshop]

I don’t know about that. The oil is cheap enough, I wouldn’t chance it.

[@benl4707]

After lubricating a tool is it normal for oil to come out while using the tool?

[@RonniesWorkshop]

If you put a few shots without nails onto a piece of scrap wood after inserting the oil, that should work any excess oil through.

[@jessedewell]

It is not abnormal or cause for concern.. Maybe a drop or 2 less on the next lube job... If it is cause for concern (leaking on a wood project would definitely be something to look out for especially if ur finish nailing and all stain and seal has already been completed but definitely not a concern for the tool

[@andrewecheverria4924]

But how often do you gotta do it ?

[@RonniesWorkshop]

Ideally before every use, depending on how long you're using the tool. I usually do it every few times I use it. Thanks; for watching!

[@jeta559]

can you use wd 40

[@RonniesWorkshop]

I would only use what the manufacturer recommends.

[@JerryXM991]

Disappointingly you left out the most important part. How often? Once a month? Once a year?

[@RonniesWorkshop]

If the tool is used daily, I'd do it every day. It depends on what tool and how often it's used. Best to check the manufacturers recommendations. Thanks for watching!

[@poloridesolo33]

Every hour of use... 3 drops
