Why is my Bostitch Power Tool lacking power and slow to cycle?
- GGrant HerringAug 13, 2025
Your Bostitch Power Tool may lack power or cycle slowly if it's dry and lacks lubrication; in this case, use BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant. Other potential causes include a broken cylinder cap spring (replace the cap spring), cut or cracked O-rings/seals (replace them), a blocked exhaust (check the bumper, head valve spring, and muffler), a worn or leaking trigger assembly (replace it), dirt or tar buildup on the driver (disassemble the nose/driver to clean), an incorrectly seated cylinder sleeve on the bottom bumper (disassemble to correct), a dry head valve (disassemble and lubricate), or low air pressure (check the air supply equipment).
