    What to do if Grip Rite GRTFC83 Nail Gun fasteners do not drive completely?
    • J
      James RiversJul 29, 2025
      If fasteners are not driving completely with your Grip Rite Nail Gun, there are a couple of things you can try. First, at the tool, turn the adjustment dial to increase the nail drive depth and add 2-3 drops of air tool oil to the inlet. If that doesn't work, at the compressor, increase the air pressure, but do not exceed 120 psi/8.3 bar.

      If your Grip Rite Nail Gun operates but doesn't drive a fastener, check the magazine for a jammed fastener. Clear any jam and reload the magazine. Also, check the nail strip to ensure it feeds smoothly in the magazine.

    What to do if Grip Rite GRTFC83 Nail Gun fasteners drive too deeply?

      Miguel BakerAug 6, 2025
      If the fasteners are being driven too deeply by your Grip Rite Nail Gun, you can adjust the tool or the compressor. At the tool, turn the adjustment dial to decrease the nail drive depth. Alternatively, at the compressor, reduce the air pressure, but do not reduce it below 70 psi/4.8 bar.

      Lee SimsAug 14, 2025
      If your Grip Rite Nail Gun won't operate because a nail is jammed in the tool nose, remove the jammed fastener. Inspect the magazine for incorrect, bent, or loose fasteners, and discard any you find. Reload the magazine using Grip-Rite® nails.

    Why Grip Rite GRTFC83 fasteners do not drive completely when driving in quick succession?
    • B
      brandondunnAug 18, 2025
      If fasteners do not drive completely when using your Grip Rite Nail Gun in quick succession, it may be due to inadequate air flow. To resolve this, use a larger diameter hose, use a compressor with a larger storage tank, keep hose lines short, and check the air hose for kinks or other restrictions.

      If fasteners still do not drive completely with your Grip Rite Nail Gun after increasing the air pressure, the driver blade may be worn or broken. See dealer for replacement.
