I have a 19.2V Craftsman brad nailer that wont fire. The battery is fully charged and works in other tools. The LED light will turn on for about 1 second and then turn off. Any ideas?

Not completely familiar with that exact model but on other ones if there is a jam it wont fire or was jammed and not reset, meaning the driver( what drives the nail) has to be in the up most position. so use a long thin rod and push it back to the top and check that the magazine has nails or that the feed is good. if want to try with no nails you have to leave the magazine open. but should work with charged battery and make sure any adjustment switches are on or off cant be in a middle position. but know from the dewalt framer cordless the driver has to be up before it will fire.

SOURCE: air stapler leaks air through ''nose''

This sounds like one of the O-rings has failed. Yes it can be fixed. Check to see if HD has an O-ring kit for these guns. That kit will contain all of the O-rings as well as the lubricants for a total rebuild. That should resolve your problem.

SOURCE: Paslode framing nailer intermittent firing

OK lets start from the top, gas full, but what is the expiration date, it is located on the bottom of the fuel cell and if out of date can cause a problem. Second when was the last time the tool was taken apart and completely cleaned and serviced with new orings and lube? Lastly look at the nails are they traveling thru the magazine freely? Let me know and I will try and help further

SOURCE: Nailer jams with 1-5/8 brads

It sound to me that the 1 5/8 brads are not 18 guage but probably 16 guage and they will not work. Double check them first before going any further. You can usually lay them next to the smaller ones that work and see the size difference, if not let me know and I will dig deeper.

SOURCE: Paslode framing nailer 1998 yr. model when engaged wont fire

you have spark and cleaned tool correct, but fan won't turn that freely, if so the fan motor is bad, it should come on when you pull the trigger or move the roller lever for the safety. The fan is about 80.00 Let me know if I missed something and how did you check the spark?

SOURCE: nail gun wont fire

First - the air pressure has to be high enough - check the regulator on the tank to make sure it is delivering in excess of 60-70 psi (which I am sure you have already done).

If you have dry fired these guns (i.e. shot them off with no nails in them while you were lubricating them maybe) the mechanism inside could be damaged. I had that happen to one of my nailers (same brand). That was when I learned not to dry fire them...

Since both of them are not working though I would be more inclined to look at the air supply first.

Dear everybody! I need a little help. I have a Paslode Im90i type nail gun. Last week on my nailer led going to flashing yellow, ok it need a service, i made it. After that i tried to reset the gun, but...

The reason the light isn't green is because your battery is not fully charged - if you have charged it, the battery may be at the end of its life.
The reason it is not firing unless you depress the nose several times is because your fuel cell is spent - check the expiration date on the bottom of the fuel cell.

Mastercraft brad nailer model 57-7900-2 5/8" - 2"

No experience of Mastercraft brad nailers but if fires with out depressing nose tool is dangerous and should be returned to manufacturer. Dewalt make battery powered brad guns and recently produced a battery framing nailer. I would not say that other nail guns are exactly cheap if they are beware they may not be up to the pressures excerted on the whilst firing.

I have a rigid 18v finishing nailer. It is about 6 months old and has not been overworked (handyman not professional). The battery is fully charged but gun does not work. LED light comes on, but gun just...

I assume you have a R250AF18. The operator's manual for this nailer is here. There's an exploded diagram with a parts list here.

Could be a couple problems. A soft click sounds an awful lot like electric motor failure, but given that it's 6 moths old, this is a warranty issue. Rigid has a 3 year limited warranty on this tool. You can check here for a service center near you or give them a call at 866-539-1710 and they'll take care of you. Ridgid's customer support is generally very good.

Hello My PC 18ga brad nailer its piston wont retr...

Check the regulator gauge on your air compressor to make sure you have enough air pressure going to your nailer. After replacing my nailer because the driver wouldn't retract, I discovered, when the replacement nailer had the same problem, that I had somehow turned the regulator and decreased the pressure. Now I have two fully operational nailers.
