SOURCE: I got air leaking out the barrel where the nail

Without model number I cannot be more exact, however, air leaking from nose as soon as you connect the airline indicates that the cylinder spacer orings are leaking. The cylinder is usually sealed by a plastic or metal ring with an oring at the outer edge and seals against an oring installed at the cylinder. Broken oring or grit entering the gun will cause the orings to leak. A quantity of air leaking from the nose when you fire a nail indicates that the lower bumper is cracked or missing pieces. Air leaking from nose with driver being pushed to bottom of cylinder when you connect the airline indicates that the cylinder seal at top of cylinder is leaking. Parts are available at www.toolpartsdirect.com Good luck with your repair and post again with model number if you need more help.

Nails coming out of side of nail gun dont know why

are you using the correct nails for your nailer? some nailers use a 20 degree slant others dont. If slanted nails it could be that they are in backwards. If you use slanted and your gun requires straight nail strips this could be the reason as well.

Bostitch F28ww nail gun does not cycle. There is no air leak or any sound when I press the nose down and pull the trigger. It is like it has no air at all. I was using it, it fired 2 nails at the same...

It sounds like your drive pin is jammed in the barrel. Can you see that moving freely? One of the two nails it fired may have lost a piece and is jammed in the barrel between the drive pin and barrel.
If this is the problem, You'll need to take a sturdy "drift pin punch" and hammer to drive the drive pin back down into the nailer. (I use an old drive pin from a discarded nailer as a drift pin punch)
Once the piston and drive pin are free again, the nailer should work fine.

It wont shoot nails. It releases air by the trigger but no nails come out. Please help I am in the middle of a job. Emergency.

It may already have a nail jammed in it. You may have to take off the front face that holds the firing pin. There should be one or two screws in front just above where the nails come out. If you remove these there will be a plate that comes off and then you can remove a jammed nail. Look first to see if there is a jam before doing this. Also maybe you have the wrong guage nails or maybe you don't have proper air pressure. Hope this helps.

I bought a used Bostitch nail gun. Model/serial # N6408406208021. What parts do I change to go from a 1 1/2 inch nail (approx. #6) to a 3 inch nail (approx. #16)? Where do I get the parts?

I do not think that the n64 will take a 3" nail. N64 will most likely fit a 2 or 2 1/2 inch. To verify the length of nail open latch door and measure the width of the slot into the barrel. Take a look at the bostitch n80 series of nailers for more power and longer nail.

16g wont shoot nails. bottom flat piece comes out

You broke the "hammer" you can open the housing and replace it, fairly simply. You can buy replacement parts at most large scale hardware or tool stores. The task takes about 10 min, and some simple hand tools.

I have a bostitch SB 16 finish nailer that has a rack of nails stuck in th loading barrel. I need to take the barrel apart to get them out, How do I do this?

The solution provided is harder then it needs to be. Where the nail gun handle attachs to the nail magazine there are 2 bolts. Remove these bolts and the nail magazine slides right out and you can get to the jammed nail. It still took some effort on my part to get the nail out but this was a lot easier then removing the 4 bolts previously suggested.

D51844 Won't Fire Nails

The Dewalt D51844 uses a full round head 20 degree nail. Sometimes the generic brand nails are not made exactly to the stated degree. They do this so their nails will work on a variety of nailers. Best to check the nails angle in relation to the angle of your nailer. Place a strip of nails on the outside of the rail. Align the heads of the nails to a convenient straight edge on the rail then check that the head and shaft of the first nail is aligned with the barrel. If the lower part of the nail projects out further than the head, then the driver will miss the head. If the head of the first nail appears close enough to barrell for the driver to hit it then place a new strip of nails into the mag and slide the pusher foward. Fire one nail, if success, remove the nails from the mag and check if the plastic holding the nails together is projecting in front of the first nail. Sometimes the plastic is not right, too stiff, and will not let the next nail align with the barrell. If the next nail appears ready and slides forward then the driver may not be going all the way up after shot. Check by inserting a metal rod into barrell and push driver up till it stops. If the driver is in the uppermost position, then most likely brand of nails. Use Dewalt nail. Good Luck

What brands of nails will work in my 15ga finish nailer 1000993

Here are a few tips on buying nails for your nailer. Nails are sold in two basic categories, clip head and full round head. The clip head are lower in price and are usually taped on glued together with no spacing between them. The full round head have spacing between each nail and are held together with plastic. Some nailguns can use both types. It is important to verify the angle of your gun. To measure the exact angle use a straitedge along length of rails and a protractor at the barrel of the gun. Place the protractor on the barrel with the 90 and 0 degrees aligned with the barrel and hold the straitedge aligned with the rails and the 0 degree mark. Read the angle. You may find that your gun measures a different angle. Nails are sold from 0 to 34 degree. 34 degree is usually clip head for Paslode, Senco, Hitachi and other brands. I find that many brands of nails do not list the angle, but list the name of the gun instead. This makes it difficult for non-branded guns. Take the protractor into the store and measure the angle of the nails or place the nails on the outside of the rails to see if they align with the barrel. Shop several stores because nails vary by brand. Once you verify the perfect fit, ask for a sample strip to try in your gun. When you identify the angle and type, use this information to shop for price. Most nails are imported from around the world, however there are nails still produced in the US costing more. Home Depot and Lowes do not carry a full range of nails.
=Google the internet for more info on nails such as www.nailzone.com. They sell a 33 degree nail that may fit your gun. Good luck and email me or post again with more questions.
