Pneumatic tool repairs - BrokenOlMarine - 10-17-2020
Working in the bosses studio, I noticed a small rubber piece on the floor. It was cracked, I thought it was the foot off the miter saw or the dead pancake compressor. Nope, turned out to be the exhaust hood from a pneumatic tool we had been using, brad nailer. I looked up the part on ereplacementparts.com. $1.99 in stock; $5.99 for standard shipping. Ordered, here in a week. On a down day I snapped 'er in place, sorta.
The hood didn't snap down over the center post.
Pulled up the exploded diagram online, and you have to disassemble the upper assembly to remove a tiny screw below the post, remove the post, press fit the hood, press the retention post down thru the hood, screw it back in from underneath, and reassemble.
$1.99 part.
Cleaned up and took the brad nailer back out. Laying on the bench was another snapped exhaust cover.
. Not the one I had removed and replaced. I checked... It was from the stapler. Back to the website, another exhaust hood at $1.99 and another $5.99 shipping. 
If I had known, both could have shipped together.
Miss T has a habit of lowering the tools to the ground by the airhose. What do they land on?
Next time I SEE her do it, I will remind her of the damage, and why there are tool hooks ON the ladder.
Yup, it's risky, but I've lived a full life.

The cheaper parts like o-rings when I need one at a dollar a shot, I tend to order 3-4, especially if I have more than one gun size.
Ck'in my PC gun arsenal, I have 15 air guns and staplers. So extra seals around is a good thing

Yup, going to look at the diagram later and perhaps order a head gasket, some orings, and another exhaust cover.

thanks for the reminder, I need to order a soft tip (several) for the brad nailer. One would think they would be stocked at retailers since they are a wear item, but nooooooooooooooooo.
