paslode im65 A problems

Yes I see what you mean. So do the electric ones work better then? I've had an eye on the DeWalt twin pack for a while and that could be an excuse to splash out

Own type 2 dewalts

The second fix is spot on. Bump mode is excellent. Hold the trigger and bump the nose to fire

Important to pause for a second between for it to spool up

The first fix doesn't like 90mm rimshanks especially around knots

Derail away we used to it here.
Just picked up the other 2nd fix 100 quid it don't work might be a cheap fix for me. Wanted it for spares and the case but we will see.

they work the same way to be honest if the paslode cant nail it then the electrics wont nail it either

both are good tools and as below the handy bump mode does come in handy for fencing compared to the paslode gun

same with the paslode second fix hates them

but i put it down to the wood as its different seems to be a bit harder or could be because its wood rated thats causing them to have problems

3x2 scant is same with the paslodes and electric ones

they tend not to like ring shank nails

Iirc the older paslodes are only rated to 75mm ring, although they will bang 90 ring into softwood most of the time

Does that mean they gave you straights In Error.

Don't think that will wash if so

they did indeed ******* fooktard muppet counts not happy my fault i just didnt check, funny thing was the gun fired a strip ok!

 

[123hotchef]

the new gun will take the straights if i can wake it up properly sure it will be fine

The straight 2nd fix works a dream now after a strip and clean and a wee solder job.

I was on a roll so I stripped and cleanned my 1st fix also it was not that dirty to be fair.
