Hammer won't return after driving a staple. Thoughts?

I have not had a problem with mine. If you are using duo-fast staples, then your driver may be bent or your pressure is insufficient.

Michael, most likely a staple is lodged and stuck. Did you take the nose apart to find the culprit? I am surprised this happened because Fasco is a good machine. What kind of staples are you using?

Try your local lawnmower/yard tractor repair shop. I haven't resharpened any, but will give them a try.

Gail I agree with Joshua. I used my stapler all through tax season and continue to use it without any jams. I would unload the hatch and see if a staple is somehow stuck at the very front. Next I would check the paper to see if there are any marks on it where the staple would go. If you do not see any indentations the staple is not going through and you may have a defective unit. I hope this helps since my stapler was been overworked and is still doing great.

HI Carol, I actually got used one. Mine had to bits, but i think the new has only one bit and the hammer. BTW so far it is really good

The hammer that came with mine would not work with the trigger group I had already, so I used my stock hammer

Same here. Also keeps turning on laser, killing the battery. I reached out to Tagua but no support or response. I did do some research which led me to work a channel for the weapon. I removed and reholstered BG 380 several hundred times and now somewhat easier to remove.

Hi Dolly! I would highly recommend returning for new one (contact the seller first), as they are pretty reliable, heavy duty work horse guns......don't know if you've ever returned anything through Amazon, but it's very, very easy.......good luck, don't give up on the Milwaukee.....Best to you, Nance

Uses the same driver for the staples and brad nails.. All u can do is turn down the air regulator on your air compressor or grind the driver down on the side that doesn't push out the brad nails.

There is a spring loaded lever on the back that you push in... then simply slide the bottom tray back and put the staples in their slot. I had no problem loading but it did start misfiring pretty badly after about 1000 staples (I had to keep opening the front and pushing the firing pin/hammer back up into the housing. Either bad luck for me or just a bad design). Good luck.

I would look at a pin nailer instead, something powered by a compressor. I got one of these Roberts staplers and it work for one hour.

Mine did the same thing. It made a grinding sound and would never go back into the start position. I called support...everything, they couldn't/wouldn't help. They were going to give me a small credit to buy another one. I declined since this one had broke within a year. I decided that since it was broke anyway and I couldn't use it, that before it made 'in position' beeps to start, I would manually move the cutter all the way over into the start position(while it was making the grinding noise). There is a trigger in the start position that tells the machine that it is ready to start. I did this SEVERAL times with no success. Machine was useless. Then I tried again and I must have had the right timing. It has worked ever since...no grinding noise. It's all about timing and I don't guarrantee my fix will work for you. I figured the machine was a waste anyway, so I might as well try it (even though in my mind I figured I would break the gears by doing this. Didn't matter...it didn't work). If you are ready to write it off or throw it out the window...give it a try.

It has happened, the remedy for me is to twist the blade in the unfinished cut. Sometime I don,t open the blade completely and it will not ratchet for me. This is a tool that does not work properly unless you coax it. I personally would not buy from the maker in the future. Great idea, poor design (my opinion)

I've taken similar ones apart before, all you need is a long small Phillips screwdriver. I just hope you had better luck with yours than I did, I didn't use it for a few weeks after I got it and after about two days it started making such a racket it was a joke, after I let it run for a few hours it works fine but as soon as I have time it's coming apart for an overhaul.

Had that same issue with one of the2 I bought! The other worked fine, so it was a defect. (Not to insult your intelligence, but just in case, "be sure you're using the right staples.") Otherwise return, there's no cure I found!

I remember my first set jammed too. Try placing a new set of staples toward the back of the "chamber" and letting the guide push them forward, then staple. Does this help?

Are you sure it's a rivit? Mine was held on by a small roll-pin. Used a small punch and it drove right out. If it is a rivit, you should be able to carefully drill the head off the rivit and then use a punch to drive it out. Good luck.

Sorry to say that I had the same trouble with mine. I ran the pressure up to 110 and it started to drive the nails. Just to add I thought this gun would shoot staples but only pin nails. Wish I had better news for you.
