Lets get this part of the forum going. Stupid question I would like opinions on.
???I bought a cordless finish nailer last week (I am tired of hoses).
The question is do you leave the gas cylinder in the gun or is it better to remove it. I don't want to waste the gas either way if I can help it.
The cylinders aren't gold, but not free either.
Thanks for your help.

Todd,
If I remember right, the guys I knew that used those plasode nailers left the gas in the gun. Course they where using them every day. I don't think they use any gas sitting still. But every time you pull it out it will loose a little juice. What does the instructions say?

No question that gets asked is ever a stupid, or dumb, or even silly, question - only the ones that don't get asked fall into that category.  I'd say it depends on the quality of the valving in the gun. If the valving is good, there won't be any gas leakage - none at all - and so it's best to leave the cylinder in the gun to prevent the little escape that comes with insertion & removal. Also, if you leave the cylinder in the gun, you always know where it is. If the valving isn't well-polished, there'll be slow leakage, though, and in that case it's better to take the cylinder out of the gun. How to tell? Put the gun inside a cardboard box or a paper sack next time you put it away, and close it well. Next time you're ready to use it, open the box or sack and immediately sniff inside. If you can detect any odor of gas, then the valve is leaking a little. |
