Ditch Digger Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 I recently bought this tool and it works great until I’m down to about 10 nails left in the nail strip; then, it jams. When I load a new strip, it drives fine. I’m new to framing nailers. Is this common and just the way nailers work or should it use the whole strip? If it’s supposed to use the whole strip, does anyone have a suggestion on what’s wrong, please? I’m using Paslode nails. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should use the entire strip, though I've had some nailers or staplers that get finicky when they're down to the last one or two fasteners. It sounds to me like the follower spring is weak and isn't pushing the nails fast enough when enough tension is removed. I liken a nail gun to, well, a gun. When there's a faulty magazine, a failure to feed can result, which can often lead to all sorts of shenanigans such as jammed nails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
