Trouble shooting a Paslode IM350+ nail gun with no name, number, or note as to why it was left in.

This is a common problem you can get from time to time. Tools dropped off for repair with no note, name or number on them.
But it always happens with paslode guns. I actually had 2 more today with the same problem. Only some initials on the guns, cannot contact the person at all.

when this happens with a paslode, you can service the gun, as this is normaly why they are sent in.
When it happens with other tools, there is more fault finding involved.
With a paslode, the service will allow you to check and test every component anyway. When the gun is dismantled, you can identify and repair and other problems.

This one actually had 2 problems. A blocked Reed valve and a firing pin witch had unscrewed from the piston end.

I started watching your videos when you had 49 thousand subscribers i like that people are catching on to your content! I do my best to keep my tools in good shape.

I'm 70 and still a tool guy. I've actually got 6 of these, somehow over the years I've found one here or there not working, or cheap flea market buys. I'm always putting something together either here at home, or for family or friends. Can't tell you how many times I've loaned one out to someone needing it. Can't tell you how many times I've torn them down to clean or trouble shoot a problem. One thing I lucked out on was picking up at auction a full box of new paslode parts from a hardware store that closed down, parts have been REAL handy! Keep up the GREAT videos!

I wish you were here in Arizona USA, I have a Dewalt pin nailer that definitely needs some repairs. Another great video!

[ballardboy]

I love these videos. I don’t even know how to use the tools, let alone fix them. I find these vids really relaxinf

[StarlightStream]

I very much liked the comment that you may need a new test board for nail gun testing. It gave me a good chuckle.

[MrCarmelo]

Dammit this will be my second video I’ve seen I’m new to your channel and I’m very impressed with both kudos to your knowledge and skills I’m hoping I can get mines working thanks again for sharing sir

[pjw]

Just discovered your channel. Great content, thanks. My Dewalt Impact driver had a very jerky trigger (not smooth through the speeds) and after watching your videos I had the knowledge and confidence to take it to bits and repair, with just a clean out of the trigger needed. I might add that you make it all look too easy. You're obviously very well practiced and very good at what you do. Thanks again.

I’d take that nail board to the metal recyclers and see if you can get a few bob 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[leonardpaciora]

You're a good man Dean, keep up the great work

[JasonWilliams-juzw]

Dean, surely someone takes these off the customer to get the info? What do you do when you fix it, just wait for them to come back? Love these videos, although, you make me want to take apart perfectly working tools just to have a look 😂

[johnhughes]

Hi Dean big fan off the channel I have the same paslode gun I have service it and have done everything that you have done and have put in new gas battery fully charged and it fires well for a strip or two of nails then it start that you have too double push for it too fire nail and then it get worse than that have you any idea what is the fault cheers

[DDB]

Great to see the insides of one of these, very informative.

[poohbear]

Dean reminds me of a soldier taking his gun apart and back together blindfolded.

[aydenandchase]

Do the customers who leave no details ever not come back to pick up the repaired tool?

[Oldroofing]

I need to send my nail guns? How do I do this. Thanks Ben

[Divergentpath]

These things need to be taken apart and cleaned thoroughly. I clean mine totally after every job. They work great if you do.

[Yes_buh]

That knife is the nuts! I’m getting one!

[seanfarrell]

Hi Dean, Where do you source the spare parts in Ireland that you use to repair the paslode nail guns. Loving the repair and service videos keep them coming.

[JKB]

Amazing videos. Keep up the great content.
Just curious if the tear drop valve plate (the one you did not take off) is sealed to the unit or not? It appears to have some sort of sealant on it.
Cheers
