would not allow air in to nailer

After installing the parts from Fix.com I applied some 3 in 1 oil into the area where the piston is and also where your air nozzle connects. the more oil the better, hook up the air hose and good to go. You tube has many videos for helping as well.

Air tool seems to leak air when you pull the trigger, and no impact

Simply take off the top cap. The Head valve is inserted inside the head cap, and usually gets very brittle and cracks with age.
Pull out the old head valve.
Transfer the large O-ring, spring and flat washer from the old valve to the new one. Insert the flat washer, then spring into the new valve and insert back into the head. ... Read more

Sears let me down but not FIX

The head valve in my air stapler finally broke up after about 40 years. Tried to get from craftsman but they stopped stocking parts years ago. Found FIX on line and the part they had looked like what I needed. I put it in an the stapler worked perfectly. I don't know if it will last another 40 years but I don't think I will be around that long anyway.
