When Using Nail Gun to Hit Nails, The Causes of Bending Nails

When we normally use a nail gun to hit nails, if the situation in the picture occurs, there may be the following reasons:

1) There's not enough air pressure to drive the nail into the wood. Check the air source to make sure there is enough compressed air at the intake joint for it to work properly.

2) Secondly, we check the nail gun to see if the firing pin of the nail gun is damaged. In a dry environment, please add some lubricant to the nail gun.

3) This can also happen if the Angle of the contact point between the welding wire and the nail on the coil is incorrect.

4) Of course, there is also a case where the wood material needs a harder nail, the material of the nail is wrong.

FAQS

Q1: What is a pneumatic nail gun?

Pneumatic: A pneumatic nail gun, or air nail gun, uses compressed air to power the nail gun. The most popular of all nail guns, pneumatic nail guns are a reliable choice for professionals because they offer incredible power and come in a variety of makes and models.

Q2: What is the difference between an electric nail gun and a pneumatic nail gun?

Pneumatics are lighter and smaller than cordless electric brad nailers and more or less same size and weight than corded electric. Also cheaper than electric ones (at least cheaper than cordless electric).

Q3: Do pneumatic nail guns need oil?

To break down deposits and ensure smooth starts and stops, most pneumatic nailers and staplers require a total of 4-5 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air fitting every day, adjusting for the amount of use.

Q4: Are air nail guns better?

Particularly good if you're doing quick little projects and don't want to take time to setup a compressor. Air nailers are lighter and typically more reliable. Especially when you get into framing size. If your doing a big project or heavy work then air is certainly the better option.
