Questions & Answers
Is this oil-less like ridgid?
"Thank you for your question on the AF353 pin nailer. No this tool needs oil lubrication. To insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler, regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool. Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided for every 50 nails. "
All pneumatic tools I’ve ever used require oil lubricant’s to maintain the seals from drying out and protect moving parts from damage. It’s simple preventive maintenance. This tool does require oil. It ships in hard case with oil and safety glasses.
