defective parts replaced and back onto the job
PC finish nailer quit functioning. Disassembled the tool, discovered the defective parts, and ordered replacements here. Order arrived promptly, re-assembled the nailer with the new parts and it now works again.

Perfect replacement!! Fixed my problem totally
Pistol grip for Porter Cable angle nailer.
Fit perfectly. My nailer was not returning fully, so it would not allow nails to advance into position. Once I took it apart I noticed small pieces of white plastic up in the head end of the housing. I realized this compoinent was busted into small pieces and would not allow the piston to return. The replacement was simple, very inexpensive and my nailer works great now.

Super easy repair - works like a champ now!
I borrowed my neighbors porter and cable 15 gauge finishing nailer. Halfway through my project the gun just stopped working, the hammer wouldn't recoil. I took the thing apart and found this part smashed to bits. I ordered the new one and it came super super fast. Super easy to install. 5 minutes later I was back to using the nailer and the gun is working better now than before. Best of all when i returned it to my neighbor he wasnt mad that I broke his gun. Super pleased, love this site.

I removed the top of the stapler with an allen wrench. The old piston grip had basically disintegrated in the cylinder. I shook out all the pieces and cleaned the inside with a clean rag. Following the diagram, I replaced the piston grip. After replacing the top and tightening the screws I tried the gun. The air leak was fixed.
