​They say you need the right tools for the right job.  That’s true but if they’re not in great working order then maybe they’re not going to get the job done.
 
As you enter into a new year with goals and dreams for your work, your home projects or your growing business make sure that you’ve set yourself up for the win.  Take inventory of your tools and equipment and if there’s any that needs servicing or repair, then contact us at irepair tools and we will ensure that you are set up to start the year right.
 
Regular servicing is important for maintaining your tools.  A service can identify any wear and tear, or broken internal parts which you may not be aware of. 
 
We look forward to assisting you in our usual fast, efficient and reliable manner.

Make sure you are buying good quality batteries.  There are inferior after market batteries now available.  You can see from these photos the damaged it causes to your main circuit board battery terminals in your older model Paslode framer and finish nailers.  

​One of the identifying features is the screw on the battery, as shown in the photo.  If yours has been damaged, contact me to see if there are parts available and whether it can be repaired.  I can also  supply you with quality after market batteries.

We all get a bit of a laugh at times when we see someone with an injury pop up on Facebook or other forms of social media, especially when it potentially is due to operator error.  

Unfortunately the reality is that accidents can and do happen.   If you're an employer then that should be of particular concern to you as you are responsible for ensuring the safety of your workers.

We recently had a client asked me to dress the probe tips on five of their nail guns because one of their workers whilst using the gun, slipped off the timber and unfortunately shot himself with the nail.  

The importance of redressing your points on your probes or replacing them is highly recommended to prevent such injuries happening.
 
It's definitely worth making the choice to replace a lower prob rather than risking the safety of yourself or your employees.  It can be a an expensive and lengthy recovery and rehabilitation from such injuries, which includes time off work.

Whenever we receive a nail gun whether its for a service or a repair we always inspect and redress where possible and/ or advise of the need for a replacement tip.

Make sure you regularly check and maintain your tools and if you have any doubts be sure to get them checked, serviced and/or repaired.

Sometimes fuel cell adapters get mixed up which results in the gun misfiring.    

Sounds simple and obvious, but make sure that you use the yellow adaptor for your fixing/bradder and the red adaptor for your framer.   When you're busy on a job its easy to get the two mixed up.

​Check out the photo below for examples of the two fuel cells.

This week I had an opportunity to repair a bea concrete nailer.  

This nail gun is German built and used for securing edge carpet trims.

A high quality and powerful tool, which is well used and love by its owner but was miss firing and not firing at other times, so needed some attention.  The connection to the spark plug was inadequate so I made a fitting to ensure the spark plug made  a secure contact.

The owner was really pleased with the result and noticed the difference within two test fires.  

Another happy client.
