Trouble shooting a Paslode IM350+ nail gun with no name, number, or note as to why it was left in.

This is a common problem you can get from time to time. Tools dropped off for repair with no note, name or number on them.
But it always happens with paslode guns. I actually had 2 more today with the same problem. Only some initials on the guns, cannot contact the person at all.
when this happens with a paslode, you can service the gun, as this is normaly why they are sent in.
When it happens with other tools, there is more fault finding involved.
With a paslode, the service will allow you to check and test every component anyway. When the gun is dismantled, you can identify and repair and other problems.
This one actually had 2 problems. A blocked Reed valve and a firing pin witch had unscrewed from the piston end.

I started watching your videos when you had 49 thousand subscribers i like that people are catching on to your content! I do my best to keep my tools in good shape.

[@deandohertygreaser]

Wow, thank you!

[@fredholmes6284]

He's right Dean..a subscribed about 5 months ago..best thing on KZbin my friend 👍

[@TBird89]

I’d take that nail board to the metal recyclers and see if you can get a few bob 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@poohbear4130]

Dean reminds me of a soldier taking his gun apart and back together blindfolded.

[@jasonvandervalk3679]

This why enjoy his videos.

[@ballardboy691]

I love these videos. I don’t even know how to use the tools, let alone fix them. I find these vids really relaxinf

[@Divergentpath]

These things need to be taken apart and cleaned thoroughly. I clean mine totally after every job. They work great if you do.

[@NeilPendred]

You obviously arent a piecework chippy, ours got serviced when they stopped firing, sometimes after 70 or 80 boxes of nails.

[@pjw6961]

Just discovered your channel. Great content, thanks. My Dewalt Impact driver had a very jerky trigger (not smooth through the speeds) and after watching your videos I had the knowledge and confidence to take it to bits and repair, with just a clean out of the trigger needed. I might add that you make it all look too easy. You're obviously very well practiced and very good at what you do. Thanks again.

[@itsjustmetomc4848]

I wish you were here in Arizona USA, I have a Dewalt pin nailer that definitely needs some repairs. Another great video!

[@StarlightStream]

I very much liked the comment that you may need a new test board for nail gun testing. It gave me a good chuckle.

[@JasonWilliams-ju9zw]

Dean, surely someone takes these off the customer to get the info? What do you do when you fix it, just wait for them to come back? Love these videos, although, you make me want to take apart perfectly working tools just to have a look 😂

[@deandohertygreaser]

They are sometimes dropped at the front door before we open. It will simply sit there until the customer calls for it. It's is normaly a regular customer anyway.

[@leonardpaciora5039]

You're a good man Dean, keep up the great work and!!!!!!!!

[@DDB168]

Great to see the insides of one of these, very informative.

[@johnhughes1847]

Hi Dean big fan off the channel I have the same paslode gun I have service it and have done everything that you have done and have put in new gas battery fully charged and it fires well for a strip or two of nails then it start that you have too double push for it too fire nail and then it get worse than that have you any idea what is the fault cheers

[@secretsix6]

just what ive been looking for

[@Yes_buh]

That knife is the nuts! I’m getting one!

[@richard3004]

If using it for work don’t bother. I’m an electrician and bought one, it failed a month later, very tiny tab holds the blades in place and snaps with the slightest pressure so results in blade constantly retracing. The body is too thick at the end so to use as a scraper needs holding more vertical which means the blade can then dig in whatever your scraping, also blades are specific to them and cost more than conventional utility/ Stanley blades. Iv gone back to a Stanley and had no issues.

[@JJB35]

Amazing videos. Keep up the great content. Just curious if the tear drop valve plate (the one you did not take off) is sealed to the unit or not? It appears to have some sort of sealant on it. Cheers

[@Ninjakip]

Very interesting! I’ve never seen the insides of one of these before. When you say left in, do you mean people just drop their tools off without you knowing in advance?

[@deandohertygreaser]

Yes, I work for a hardware shop, fixing their customers tools. What ever is dropped in I repair.

[@paulgateson9794]

Hi been watching your videos for ages , great informative and helped me to fully strip and service my 3 guns , i have one im350+ lithium that just wont play ball , it blank shoots , ive striped cleaned , polished reed valve , changed nose probe , wear plate and sheer block and new magazine slider , nails pass through mag fine yet it fires a dozen nails then just keeps blank firing , any advice ? Thank you in advance Keep the vids coming

[@martinjeffery3590]

Why would the gun nose depress then get stuck in the depressed position i then have to pull it forward again by the orange tabs on the nose

[@seanfarrell5202]

Hi Dean, Where do you source the spare parts in Ireland that you use to repair the paslode nail guns. Loving the repair and service videos keep them coming.

[@bryand8967]

I have a paslode IM90 not working it is clean gas good battery good. How can I figure out if it is the motor or motherboard or spark switch without spares to swap over. It will fire 1 nail then the light on the body of gun will start flashing Cheers Bryan

[@agnosticevolutionist3567]

Hey dean what’s the average cost of servicing these Paslode , lots of rookie wannabes on the mainland here , know nothing.

[@aydenandchase7220]

Do the customers who leave no details ever not come back to pick up the repaired tool?

[@cristinaile7734]

Hi for second fix paslode maybe you can help the neil is bending and the gun is blocked time to time any idea what happening, i whant to mention is 15 years old

[@SparkcatcherFox]

Did you catch the note written on the side of her "Pin fix please"?

[@deandohertygreaser]

That was from the last time it was in here last year. But the last time it was sent in from another hardware shop. So still don't have a phone number.

[@robertroy8803]

I didn't until I saw this comment lol

[@SparkcatcherFox]

@@deandohertygreaser Ah, cat altogether!

[@gacherumburu9958]

👍👍

[@nickmail7604]

Love your videos, I'm quite bit older than you and a thought just popped in my head, how does it cost to service a hammer and what's the price comparison of both the initial cost then servicing and spare parts if they go wrong?

[@nadrojjackets727]

Great videos, they’re really helpful! Mine still won’t fire though. I have to push it down and press the trigger many times before I hit hear the fan turn on but it still won’t fire (I can smell the gas when I push down and release). I followed and completed this video as well as another of your videos where you replace a fan motor. When I have the chamber off and put the battery in, the fan motor turns on straight away and I can see the spark plug is working at this time when I press the trigger and switch. Could my issue be a motherboard problem? My model number is B20543P Thanks in advanced.

[@deandohertygreaser]

dose the motor fan run continuously or dose it only turn on when the switch is pressed. When the top chamber is removed, put in the battery. press the roller at the back to activate the fan switch, hold and then pull the trigger, you should get a spark. do this several times, you should get a spark each time. if not or if the motor keeps running and will not switch of, it will be the spark unit (spark generator) at fault. If it sparks each time. make sure your gas is in date and the piston is all the way back inside the chamber

[@chriselliott726]

When it's brought in why doesn't the person who takes it in take down the customers contact details and a brief description of the problem?

[@barnyduffy1531]

hi mate can you please tell me the complete cycle of this gun

[@1irishman1976]

Hey dean love the videos hey where do you get that utility knife from I'd love to get one

[@deandohertygreaser]

It's a toughbuilt utility scraper

[@1irishman1976]

@@deandohertygreaser oh ok thanks I'm going to have to get one. But yeah like the videos I love pulling broken things apart and fixing it people always here in the states if it breaks buy a new one even though it might be fixable that's why I go to flea markets and yard sales always find gems but have a good day slan

[@anonymousroofing]

I need to send my nail guns? How do I do this. Thanks Ben

[@jacktissington]

How often should you service them. Ive got a pulsa 27e and want to keep it in good shape

[@kristene2372]

From my understanding generally once a year

[@michaelfairchild]

You need to take care of your tools, so they can take care of your work.

[@artur777]

Paslode its rubbish, I not understand for what I pay lot of money.

[@HARAMIMUHAMMAD]

Hi Dean my IM350/90CT has no spark could you help.

[@tdotw77]

Well it's obviously 'job 19012's nail gun! 😅 I'm sure it's lots of fun being a detective on top of being a tool repair guy. Figuring out who, what, where, how is tons of fun ain't it? 😂👍🏼👌🏻🛠️🔧🔩📏📐✔️🤣🤔🍻
