Oh wow Paslode 902000 16 Gauge Straight Finish Nailer Works flawlessly if you have a fresh fuel cellBy Manuel A. RicartThis nailer works great. If the tool fails to fire or jams frequently (if you read other reviews you’ll read about complaints of this happening, where they drepress the nose several times and then it works for a while, etc): CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE ON THE FUEL CELL. An expired fuel cell will make the tool malfunction randomly (drive 3-5 nails, not work, drive 3 more then not work or jam, etc). Creating huge amounts of frustration.I have a set of Impulse nailers (framing and trim) and both worked flawlessly when I first bought them. I use them for home projects, that is, it can be a year or more before I use it on another project. Last year I started a new project and the framing nailer started not firing after driving 3-5 nails. I cleaned, oiled and cleaned again with temporary results after a few nails. The “usual procedure” is to depress the nose 10 times on the trim and at some point it starts firing again. Needless to say frustrating enough to make you want to buy a corded tool.Four days ago I started working on trim, and the finish nailer started behaving the same way. Finally mad as heck I contacted paslode, and they told me to check the expiration date on the fuel cells. Sure enough, both of them were over 18 months expired. I replaced the fuel cells with a new one from the store, and wham, works without hessitation. I offloaded about 100 nails with each nailer and not a single misfire.[this is now a year from my original post - and both nails run like champs. Never again have they failed to misfire]I would have rated this as a 5 star, if the manual would have suggested to check the expiration date of the fuel cells. Alas, it is possible that mine didn’t say this because I bought mine over two years ago, and they had recently introduced the nailers.53 of 55 people found the following review helpful. »» Read more about Paslode 902000 16 Gauge Straight Finish Nailer
