Hello, Goose - We are disappointed to learn that this framing nailer did not meet your expectations! There is an air pressure tank on this nailer. After the initial use, you may notice a decrease in performance. Refilling the air pressure tank to 125 psi can help restore the unit’s performance. We recommend referring to the Use and Care Manual listed below for how to properly refill the air pressure tank. We hope this helps! And if you'd like to discuss your experience further, then please feel free to email us anytime at Reviews@RIDGIDmail.com.
