Air compressor hose connection problem

I've been looking over your air compressor threads and I haven't seen my particular problem. I hand a Bostitch 6gallon, 150PSi oil free compressor. I've had it for a few years, using it primarily with my nail gun and it has worked fine. Today, it began spitting out the air hose at the quick release connector on the compressor.Has anyone else dealt with this problem?
Thanks

Lube your quick release connector... if that doesn't help, replace the connector.

Do you drain the moisture out of the tank after each day's use?

The ball bearings in the female part are likely seized up and not gripping.
If you liberally spray WD-40 into the sliding part of the connector it should free it up and work fine.

Paslode nail gun help

S

Shaun Keen on Jul 12, 2016

:wall:Hi people, I really need some help here because everything everyone has told me doesn't seem to fix my problem��, and I am really out of ideas. When I fire my gun vertical it will fire a nail, and keep firing nails no problem, but when I give it back to my mate who's a roofer and shoots with the nose pointing down, it refuses to fire or anything. It's a 900420 Paslode nailer and I have cleaned and stripped it all down including taking the piston out, lubed it all correctly and everything seems in order. The green light is flashing and I have a spark, sorry the fan does kick in when trigger is pressed but nothing comes out of the end, no nails, not even the indentation the firing pin usually leaves. Can anyone help me out please?

How do I install this window A/C?

D

daisygirl12 on Jun 16, 2016

Glad to find this site. Hoping somebody can tell me how to place the a/c I purchased onto my window sill. It looks unsafe to place because the bottom of the a/c has a rectangular protrusion that goes from one side to the other and it doesn't fit into the groove of the sill. I don't get it. Had a few people over and they just set it on the sill but it doesn't feel right. I've never done this before so maybe I'm worried for nothing...? Attaching photos of the top and bottom of the a/c and the sill. I purchased an "a/c safety net" (strong cloth "cage" it goes in so it doesn't fall out) but if you have any advice on what to purchase to hold the window down to keep the a/c from falling, I'd appreciate it. Temps are going to be hot tomorrow, 100 degrees on Sunday, hot next week. Thanks ;)Read More
