Has anyone had this jam? I used it once, shot about 50 nails and now it wouldn't shoot a nail. There is no nail jammed. Help?

Mine has a button on the trigger that sometimes gets out of place and stops it from shooting. Also if you don't have the tip seated on the work it will not shoot.

I have used it for doing trim in a new bedroom that I made and have not had any problem with it whatsoever.

Yes unfortunately it jams quite frequently especially if it is held upside down. I ran into your problem after about 4 brad nails. If there isn't a visible nail jammed then there is a problem with the steel "hammer" that goes up and down to shoot each nail off of the "stack" you load. If you pull the cover back as if you were loading new nails you'll see all the way to the front where each nail is supposed to go down into the point and eventually the wood a "stainless steel" flat piece. This "stainless or silver" steel piece was what stopped the nail gun shooting in my case...it failed with the CPO reconditioned model and I had to take it to a Bostitch authorized repair shop to get it replaced. In the meanwhile I purchased a new one and never had the problem. Its frustrating but its nothing they said I could fix and Bostitch probably overlooked when they were "reconditioning" the nail gun. Good luck!

Mine jammed once, I didn't think it had a nail jammed but I took apart the nose and found part of a nail stuck between the pin and the houseing. I don't remember how it comes apart and all, but it's pretty easy if you're careful. I think there's one piece that comes off entirely, so watch how it fits so you can get it back together properly of course. So you could try that. Pretty sure you only need an Alan wrench.

I bought my nailer at Lowes and they don't carry the size nail I needed. So I bought the needed size in the Hitachi brand which Lowes did carry. I used about 500 nails and not one jam.

sorry you're having that problem. I'm not. first make sure you have the right staples. I had to buy them from Munix cause any other staples did not work and min jammed, too. Hope this helps. It's a wonderful stapler if you use it right and a very good price. otherwise Perhaps you need to send it back.

I've been using for four months and has not jammed yet. It's been a great Hopper for the mechanical GOG ENMEy gun. Hope this helps.

In single fire it does jam if shot is not completed (not fully pulling trigger and firing a round) as for the bbs falling out it happens no matter what. To fix just set to full auto and shoot then revert back to single and it will be fine

My Senco nails did not work in this gun. My guess is that Bostitch made the gun so you need special Bostitch nails to use in it. They are fairly priced, so I have not concerned myself with what angle the gun is. It is a great gun that satisfactory replaced a 40 year old Senco SFN II that has probably shot over a million nails.

I don't know why it gets jammed, but I agree with you 100%. This gun constantly jams. It is a waste of money.

No it never jams but sometimes it wont shoot because one of the balls didnt get in the chamber. You just need to pump it again if that happens. Its pretty well made!

You have to cock it for each bullet. It will jam if you cock it more than once.

Serco only recommends their nails. I have tried other brands and had no problems, but may a few jams. However I can not be sure if it was the brand or my use. If you have other brands try them; what have you got to lose? Jams are easily removed.

I purchased this unit a couple of months ago and have had no jams, not one. Do you have the correct staple width? Is the a staple jammed inside? Have you adjusted the steel receiving plate? Have you locked in the plunger?

That tells me that one of the locknuts has come out. Take off the rubber bottom and look at the mechanism. You can probably figure out what's wrong by watching it and seeing where it jams. They have a one-year warranty. If you bought it online, you have to send it back to the manufacturer for repair. I fixed my first one many times! Hint: Try not to put too much tobacco in the slot! When you have to pull hard, it wears out those little horseshoe shaped pieces.

I have not had any problems. It shoots well. It breaks bare skin. Never had a jam. I have just used it for shooting targets. No turnaments. Hope that helps.

If this happens take out the magazine point the gun with the barrel up slightly and the mag well down and use the unjamming rod to try to dislodge the bbs out of the barrel. after a few tries you should be ready to shoot again. and plz note when the gun is jammed it has a diffrent sound

Remove the nails from the gun and make sure the gun is disconnected from the air source. Then Remove the little black plate on the front of the gun where the nails shoot out. You may have to push the driver back up with a screwdriver, (it is the little flat long piece that pushes the nail out). When it is pushed up you should be able to see the problem. You may need to use a pair of pliers to work the nail free. When that is finished reassemble the gun and fire it a couple of times without nails in it, then reload it and you should be good to go. I hope this helps you.

I have only used the nails recommended by the manufacturer and they perform perfectly. I would not recommend using a nail other than those specified by the manufacturer. Why risk potentially damaging the gun, voiding the warranty or getting hurt. You should purchase a nail gun that is made for the nail you intend to use.
