DON'T BUY this Framing Nailer, BUY THIS INSTEAD 

Wow. I’ve had my Bostitch framer for over 15 years and it’s always be great.

Hi ! Everyday before you use the gun put a few drops of airless quality oil in the gun where the hose would hook up, hold the trigger down and let the oil work it's way towards the head of the nailer say 10 seconds, hook the air hose back up to the gun but before you use it make sure that you open the airtank drain plug and if you have a water separator calling out of the air tank which I recommend, Make sure the water is drained out of that too. I usually turn a compressor on with the drain plug open let it run for a little bit and that'll get any rust and water out of your tank it'll blow it out ,then just shut your valve then let it build pressure and you're good and that oil will help that gun tremendously ! You won't have any miss fires ! Like that old Louisiana Cajun Cook used to say "guaranteed" ...lol 😂😊

I had almost an identical problem with my Porter cable. It leaked air and I put a rebuild kid in it but it still leaked and I had a bunch of nails 21° so I went out and I bought a Dewalt instead. It's a 21 degree, and I've been using it for a few days. And it's been perfect and I love it My Porter cable was about 16 years old. And it was great up until when it started leaking. Great video by the way.

You should try to find a rebuild kit for your old nailer.

I’ve had that same nail gun for years and it works fine.

Good explanation of your experience and thoughts! You don't appear to have tried different nails though. I have a 1995 Bostitch N80SB and it won't work correctly with nails that are collated with that glue drizzle. I have to use genuine Bostitch nails that are tacked together with the wire.

Bostitch makes good roofing nailers, at least the old models were great. I got a coil framing nailer and out of the box, even with the adjustment knob set all the way down, it will not sink the nails consistently. My Metabo A5 coil nailer will damn near send nails through the wood with the exact same air pressure, hose and fitting set-up.

you should Give Bisset nailers A go 8 years now no issues and I work in temps as high as 45c and as low as -40c and every nailer I have is Bisset now my coil nailers framing Metal connector finishing and they are light powerful durable and well for teh price amazing

I have used a bostich framing gun and it worked great it was the exact same model. On a apartment job i had to nail 2x10 deck cantalevers together with a insane nail spec of 2 nails every 6 inches. I shot over 10,000 nails throught it that day and never jamed once. Maybe that one is a lemon

They have rebuild kits for all air framing nailers, it only costs 50 bucks for parts. I build picnic tables, benches, and dog houses. My best framing nailers are air nailers by Makita, Dewalt, and Ryobi 18v 21 degrees. I only use 21-degree framing nailers because they are easy to find nails of all types.

I feel your pain and agree about the joist hanger Bostitch nailer.

I pretty much use only rigid tools and am completely satisfied with their products however I’m getting away from air and upgrading everything to cordless

My Bostich 16 gun works great. Never a jam. Problem free.

Why do I have a feeling you were trying to use 21 degree nails in this gun. You need to use bostisch 28 degree collated nails....

Replace the gasket in the old gun and I bet it would be as good as new

For the money you spent on the new nailers you could have pulled the head off the old gun and replaced the seals. Good as new,, and saved all the aggravation,, been there… and FYI, I got a Pasload when mine went out worked great,, now I have two…

I have that Bostitch for several years. I haven't had the jamming problems you're having but it doesn't have the dryfire lockout like your Porter Cable. That I wish it did have. I suspect th quality control has gone out the window since I bought mne

The new portercable suck. Buy a Metabo or old hitachi. You won't regret it. The older portercable were great. I had most of them but replaced them with hitachi as they broke.

Could be the operator, gun work perfect, I have been used for de last 3 years, not problem.

Hi ,I agry ,some Bostich guns is very good some is junk ,,

Why is there rust? Maybe clean the firing mechanism? Your old framing nailer and new joist nailer don't show any signs of rust from what I can see. How did you get moisture on the new nailer?

3:21 is where the video starts

It would be impossible to skew nail with them tips on both guns!

The nail follows the wood grain pattern.. It's not a nailer problem. It's a educational problem on tbe user.

Dude by yourself a metabo hpt.

I saw a man shoot him self in the foot with a Porter-Cable not really...it was a Bostitch. Jk jk idk what gun he had but let's just say it was the Bostitch. Guy was few nails short of a rack, if you know what I am saying.

You might be able to get your old Porter Cable rebuilt. Then you would have two guns to use.

It looks like you threw that thing to the ground lol

Buy a Max. Problem solved.

💯👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🫡

Maybe that particular gun was junk not the model itself.

That gun i agree is garbage. Switch to bostitch 3 in coil gun you won't have any of those issues. Not even one time.

Using .168 nails in a nailer meant for .148 nails is the problem - use the right nails bro

I had to stop listening. Way too much back story. Sorry man.

Seven minutes too long. All the info could have been revealed in 3 minutes. Used to love RU-vid. It's now become so commercialized it's a waste of time. Everyone with their 30sec-1:00 high-dollar flashy intro that then drags shit out past 10 minutes SO THEY GET PAID!

Paslode/Pneutools. Surprisingly, Pneutools is taking over in the framing and cornice work here in Texas. Very simple mechanics like when Hitachi came out with their nail guns. Its like going back to a carburetors 😅 vs fuel injector
