Did anyone have trouble with leaking since you don't use the wrench to close it? I did and want to know how to not get it on my living room floor?

I had that problem once, but not every time. I suspect overfilling might be the cause.

I have one of these Upholstery Nailers and don't have this issue but you can control the pressure with an inline regulator which I have on mine, it's at the end of the hose nearest to the gun with a quick disconnect.... Hope this assist you somehow.

Sorry to hear about the leak! It could be caused by dirty debris wrapped around the brushes or underneath the unit. Try cleaning the bottom and if you are still having issue please contact us so we can help. http://www.bissell.com/contact-us/?cid=ccsocial2107

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.

Hold the side lever, press down firmly, release the side lever and no, it won't leak. The side lever controls a lock on the inside of the chuck that keeps the o-ring around the valve from leaking.

I did have one leak after the warranty was out, but that was due to something on the floor that I missed. At any rate, it was very easy to fix with the self adhesive patches that come with it. I've had it for about a year now I think and I haven't had an issue since.

The same thing happened to us. When I had a plumber here for other work, I asked him if he could try to get it off. No luck. I guess it's best not to leave it on your hose for too long or else it will become a permanent attachment.

I bought one for the same use. Sometimes it leaks - not a lot, just enough to be irritating - sometimes it doesn't. I try to really tighten it down hard and that seems to stop any leaks. Just don't think I should have to work that hard! But the size and price point are both ideal!

I thought I read somewhere to use Shell Rotella 40w. Couldn't find that in quarts, so I used Chevron Delo 15w-40. Never had leakage more than a film on the bit until I loaned it to a relative. I heard he used it a LOT, and now oil leaks out. I used it for a few minutes, and I get drips now. Can't store it horizontally anymore. Oil even coming out around the bolts, supplied allen wrench too small to really tighten those. Guess I'll try tightening those, but most oil is leaking out thought the bit shaft. Don't know if the seal is serviceable.

I've been using it with a rag rug under it, but so far I have not seen any indication of any leakage whatsoever.

have you tried tightening the hex screws? i've used mine extensively and when the oil gets hot, it gets thinner and seems to pass the seals more easily. it's a handy, lightweight little hammer to have around even if it does leak some. i've fabricated some seals out of an old tire tube that i had for just that purpose in other applications.

Hi there! I tend to slow simmer things for hours and have never had a problem with anything dripping off of it. I LOVE this thing. It is my favorite kitchen tool. :D

After 4 months of use, I have not had any issues with it leaking. Right after you finish spraying it has a few drops, but just hold it over the toilet for a few seconds and your floor will stay dry.

No, I have not had any problems with any leaks, luckily. I have mine directly on hardwood floors, too.

I'm not saying that you have done this, however, if you try to pick up the bottle or even move it by the spout, it will leak. I love mine too and have never had this issue.

I have had no issues w/ leaking yet. I did use pipe tape to help the fitting to better seal. So, I have not even bothered getting a fitting as mine has been fine

I placed the nozzle on and turned it until it felt like it had reached the tightest position only to notice it still felt loose and dribbled liquid on the kitchen counter. I proceeded to tighten further until I couldn't tighten anymore and that seems to have stopped leak. I suggest manufacturer of container go to manufacturer of nozzle and come up with a more secure combination.
