i have been professionally repairing power tools for more than 20 years 90% of the time on this particular nail gun the firing issue is caused by the trigger valve, the piston ring you replaced on the driver has nothing to do with the issue the gun was having, what i am politely trying to say is i just do not believe you are quite telling the truth here.

@Stefan_Smith 4 года назад

Yeah see, I thought that the piston ring was broken too until I got the replacement part in the mail and it is supposed to have a gap in it already. He's saying the old one was cracked but you can clearly see that the new one has the same gap in it. So obviously NOT the problem.

I appreciate the effort you took to make the video and post it. I haven’t taken mine apart yet, but I am having the same problem and I am certainly less intimidated now about disassembling it.

@WoodUCreate 5 лет назад

Gave me enough information to fix mine. Dewalt nailer looks EXACTLY the same. that ring that was bad on yours, was just not oily on mine so would not slide up and down. I too used some of the oil in the gun. Put it on the ring and it now slides easily. Never having opened one up before it now makes more sense. Thank you so much for this video.

@joedejesus6363 7 лет назад

Thank you, your video was most helpful. I purchased a NS100a crown stapler off of eBay advertised as EUC, fully functional, well it wasn’t. Needed both the piston ring and the Oring that sits on top of the cylinder. Thankfully the seller refunded me cost of parts. While I was initially PO’d your video taught me a new skill.

Took my Mastercraft version apart (very similar). Thought I had the same issue but all it took was a new coat of 'Vaseline' on all o-rings. Works like a charm now. Your video was good though to show disassembly and 'grooves to the trigger side' tip - I may have missed that.

@firebladex8586 4 года назад

My mastercraft just failed. It just spits air out from the trigger area when you pull the trigger. Going to be taking it apart and see what I can find. It's fairly new so I don't think the problem is due to anything being worn out.

Nice fix. I had a Rigid that had a similar problem, but it was leaking air out the exhaust port. I fixed that seal, but failed to realize that some of the others were toast as well. I bought a new Hitachi and ended up giving my neighbor the old one to fix and keep. I guess the heat and time all take their toll on those plastic/rubber seals.

@doublewide6 7 лет назад

Yes, most problems with nail guns are due to o-rings and bad seals. If you can get the tools second hand and do the work yourself you can save quite a few bucks. The older guns were made with much less plastic.

@activegrandpa 5 лет назад

i took apart my BN200 for the first time because the plunger wouldn't retract. But instead of finding a piston ring, mine had an "O" ring with out a piston ring gap and was a typical rubber type O ring. The replacement part was the exact same "O" Ring, not a piston ring. The old O ring appeared to be in good shape, but I replaced it anyway. My problem seems to be the nylon ring in the head not being installed correctly. Now, I will try to get that part.. What gives here?

@xavius30 5 лет назад

The author of this video has provided some bad information in regards to Porter Cable brad nailers. Porter Cable BN200B and BN200C nail guns are OIL-LESS. DO NOT put oil in them as it will plug the trigger head valve preventing the trigger from resetting. How do I know this? I oiled mine not knowing any better, but looking at the owners manual, It clearly states - "NOTE: These nailers are designed to be used without oil." I had to pull my trigger head valve out; blew compressed air through it to clean out it real good. Fixed my trigger problem. Hope this helps others.

@waynemiller6070 3 года назад

My framing hammer says oil daily, I don’t see “oil daily” on my trim nailer’s. Perhaps I should not have been oiling them all this time. And I do it religiously. LOL My friend has a trim nailer that says do not oil. So I figured since mine didn’t say that I would oil it.

@AsTheWheelsTurn 7 месяцев назад

hopefully this is all that is wrong with mine ! it is having the same issue, the piston ring on mine does not look compromised but neither does anything else inside the gun , everything looks good but it does seem like the piston does not like being pushed back up into the gun , it is quite difficult to do so maybe it is warped or something, the entire driver/piston in my case is only about 15 bucks on a $250 gun which is barely used so its worth trying !

@OscarMartinez-js1it 5 лет назад

Do you have to push the pin back or just leave it out

@horaciocastillo1435 5 лет назад

Push the piston all the way in before firing to check if after firing the piston retracts by itself as it is the normal cycle. Non retracting piston is the most common problem on air nailers.

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.

2:46. You are not missing an o-ring. 3:20. The piston ring has a gap. It is not broken. 3:29. "Hammer assembly" is called a driver. Overall, your problem was likely with the "head" valve assembly and had nothing to do with the piston ring. Its also never a good idea to use the old grease/oil in the tool to lubricate a new part.

It wasnt fun, but i deserved it... always unhook the air before clearing a jam!
