Topic tags/keywords: cordless nailer

I have a Ryobi P320 18ga cordless brad nailer in hand I purchased from this site.

Reconditioned kit

The striker stuck in the out position on every brad of either 1 1/4 or 2”. The nail channel appeared dirty, so I swabbed it with alcohol using a cotton ball. After the alcohol swab the nail striker is sticking occasionally, but I was able to use it. I’m wondering if a good cleaning and application of a graphite lubricant might help. Any thoughts?
