Excellent transaction
Like usual, it was easy to find just what I need on your website, even if I don't know the exact name of the part. Shipping was fast and reasonably priced. Really happy that I could repair this expensive nail gun rather than have to replace it. Thanks!

I initially thought the problem was a damaged nail driver. Once I disassembled the top of the nailer I found the plastic piston bumper had disintegrated. Note: A properly functioning bumper and spring assembly dampens the recoil of the driver and keeps it high enough in the unit to be in position to strike the next nail. Without the b

The youtube video produced by ereplacementparts (the one that addresses an overhaul) was all I needed to see how to fix it. I used the air compressor to blow out the 10,000 some odd pieces of piston bumper - it was all over the place. All of my o rings look intact, but it probably would have been worth the time to replace them. We\'ll see how that goes. I did lube them all with o ring silicone when I put it back together. Worked great on the test run.

The piston bumper was smashed into a million pieces.
Watched your U tube movie on how to repair. That showed me how to do the job. I have never had a nailer apart before. Took nailer apart. The nailer did not need the piston or nailing slide taken out as shown on the movie. It did need to be banged on a block of wood to remove parts in the top (as shown in movie). Removed top section from n

Nailer was slow to recover after power stroke. It drove the nail fine and then would leak air for a bit before it fully recovered.
1. Removed the tool from the air supply.
2. Removed the four cap screws that hold on the top cover.
3. Removed the air chamber seal piston, spring, and washer from the top cover. Pay attention to the order of parts as you remove them.

Piston Bumper was old and several pieces. Nailer 20 years old!!!!
Disassembled piston unit and installed new piston Bumper. Replaced trigger pin retainer and re-assembled unit back and installed nose cushion and unit is back in business. Thanks
Repair was easy and cost effective. All I did was watch the video first to see if I wanted to tackle the project. When it was over discovered there really isn\'t a lot of parts inside to keep me from trying it. So, I disassembled the nailer and found the source- broken piston bumper. I could see all kinds of plastic pieces scattered throu
... Read moreghout the internal workings of the gun. After a good cleaning and a check of all the o-rings, the top portion of the nailer would have to be replaced. Next, I ordered the parts from the website which was simple and easy- in fact I also found a part to my Porter Cable sander as well. After a few short days the parts arrived and I put the gun back together, plugged it into the compressor and tried it out. \"P-ka,\" the nailer was once again making that sweet sound that my wife can\'t stand.
Now if I had to buy the complete overhaul kit I\'m not too sure I would have fixed the nailer. Reason being, the big box stores are always having a sale and a new one could be found for 30-50 dollars more with a one year warranty. Unless, I already had an abundance of nails that were specific to the old nailer then I would fix the old one.
Good Luck with your project and may the force be with you!
