Why is my Harbor Freight Tools Central Pneumatic Nail Gun not driving nails deep enough?
- VVicki LindseyAug 1, 2025
If your Harbor Freight Tools Nail Gun isn't driving fasteners deep enough, several factors could be at play. First, the tool depth setting may be incorrect, so adjust it if possible. Second, there might not be enough air pressure; check for loose connections and ensure your air supply provides sufficient pressure (PSI) to the tool's inlet, without exceeding the maximum. Also, incorrect or insufficient lubrication can be the cause, so lubricate the tool with air tool oil and grease as directed. A blocked air inlet screen (if equipped) could also be the culprit; clean it to remove any buildup. Lastly, the mechanism might be contaminated, requiring a qualified technician to clean and lubricate it; consider installing an in-line filter in your air supply.
