I watched this s because I never used a nailer before, I bought this same item at Harbor freight and I didn't know how to use it.. But its a game changer ,it was a very good tutorial . Thank you for your time.
I bought one for small projects and it works amazing! It's surprising how well staples hold wood together. I did some testing and it's almost impossible to pull the pieces apart without busting the wood. Between staples and wood glue, it should hold for a lifetime!
If you read the manual you will see the schematic for inserting the air pressure regulator, you can then use the adjuster on the tool to fine tune the depth of the staple or the brad. Also, there are two different models of this gun Model 68019 specs show the Maximum Air Pressure 120 PSI, and the Air Consumption as 0.5 CFM @ 90 PSI while the model 64269 Air consumption is much higher at 2.4 CFM @ 90 PSI. I have the model 64269 and have found that it drives the fasteners very deep unless you make some adjustments at the compressor first by lowering the output pressure and then use the fine tuning adjuster on the gun's trigger.
harbor freight has lost this nail gun in the shuffle of production, it has not been offered in several years, and then only for a few months, there are 2 64269 manuals on their site, one lists 0.5 cfm, one lists 2.4 cfm, and neither are this model with the adjustment on the gun, there is also 68019 on the website that lists 0.5 cfm, two more SKU are 61661 and 63156, which both list 0.5 cfm, search for them on HF's website, it takes you to 68019's page, the model with the adjustment is 63156 and lists 0.5 cfm, my setup is just like the manual, still not convenient to go change every time I change nail guns - you can check the manual for 63156 and 61661 on my website, HF no longer has those manuals on its website - www.snapwhole.com/index.php/harbor-freight-item-63156-central-pneumatic-63156-18-gauge-2-in-1-air-nailer-stapler/ www.snapwhole.com/index.php/harbor-freight-item-61661-central-pneumatic-18-guage-2n1-nailer/ the 2.4 cfm on 64269-UPC 193175417541 is most like a mistake in the manual, no way it needs 5x the cfm as the same nail guns that need 0.5 cfm - Thanks for subscribing!
@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews Might wanna repost and pin your comment. I bought this nail gun based on your review and was pretty confused why it's missing the depth adjustment.
the tank is behind the shop in an outbuilding, changing the air pressure for each different air nailer would be a bit of a pain - the original 2n1 is the only gun I have a problem with, and HF obviously knew it was a problem if they released this version with the adjustment -Thanks for subscribing!
I just lowered the psi coming from the tank and the divots went away, which is easier when your tanks are near by. I originally bought it for installing molding when I finished the basement. So it works fine for small projects. If I needed one for high end trim work/cabinet building, I would definitely buy a higher grade gun. I own an angle grinder, multi purpose tool as well as this nailer. At the end of the day it’s harbor freight. You get what you pay for. Perfect for how I use them. Which is seldom.
@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews HF has a small in-line regulator for about 5 bucks that you can attach directly to the end of your air hose (tool end) for you to fine tune your air pressure... it eliminates overdriving and leaves a tiny dimple. Also tilt the gun toward the nail side minimizes the width of the dimple. Also, here is an easy “trick” you can do with a zip tie to eliminate the divot... th-cam.com/video/aI41e8Ehiy8/w-d-xo.html&feature=share
You can rig up an in-line pressure regulator that you attach directly to the gun (either quick connect or hard-plumbed) to adjust pressure on the fly easily… I do this for both this gun and the finish nailer
the comments are full of solutions/fixes, this one is actually workable, but on the 2018 model they added an adjust to help you set the indent depth, which is much better - but really this was designed as a stapler, and retrofitted to accept nails, its never going to be as good as a dedicated nailer - thanks for subscribing!

I feel your pain! I’m lucky to be in Florida. I just left information and not a negative comment. And yes your distance matters. I use 25ft lines PVC not Rubber. Most of the birdhouse projects are soft pine, so I adjust accordingly.
Mine is firing, but not loading/shooting anything out. No air leaks present and I've taken it apart and checked the seals, internally for nail pieces, etc. All good. I've tried both nails and staples without luck. It worked for a bit, but now I'm stumped, particularly after taking it apart and such. Ideas are welcome. Thx.
I need more information, not loading? does that mean you can't get staples in the magazine? is firing -does that mean you can hear the piston cycling when you pull the trigger? to check for jams, flip open the latch on face of the nailer, and check for nails (I'm sure you have done this but going thru the steps ) much better design then the previous models - the safely is probably misadjusted, dry fire it by holding in the safety - watch your fingers, the most obvious thought for me is the safety is not enabling the trigger to depress, maybe the linkage, the trigger normally will not fire the gun, until the safety is activated until you press the gun against what you are shooting into, when the safety engaged, the linkage presses against the trigger, providing th trigger something to press against and that fires the gun (not a good description) but that linkage might not be engagin - thanks for subscribing
@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews Appreciate the response. It loads just fine. I've opened using the quick release lever and went so far and removed the top plate. All clear. The gun does fire once depressed on the workpiece. The safety is working normally once the gun is depressed in to the workpiece. It loads with air and holds it, but when it fires I get nothing. I have opened it up and don't see anything. I didn't remove the head valve, but could something have been through backwards into the piston assembly creating an issue?
@@marcspringer2915 sorry for the late reply, your message got caught in the he-man filter - when you say 'get nothing ' - no sound of the air being released? or you hear the air being released, but it does not drive the nail?

it describes this in the manual - 1 drop in the air inlet before each use, use pneumatic oil - the intent is to provide lubricant for the piston, if you follow their recommendation you will not have lubrication problems, or warranty problems(90 days), but that is overkill, but is a never fail option, so recommended - thanks for subscribing!
Why do you hear air hissing from it when not being used? That doesn’t sound normal? I had same gun and I never hissed until after a few hours of using it. Was super quiet when not in use
what you hear is the quick disconnect that has three bearings, the cheap three bearing quick disconnects are more likely to leak if you put sideways stress on the hose - I have started converting to 5 bearing quick disconnects for that very reason - I've stated this on several of my videos of air tools - thanks for subscribing!

The problem I find with this “versatile” combo guns is the ever-present staple indent in the material, even when shooting brads. It sucks but having a dedicated crown stapler gun and a dedicated brad nailer is just the better way to go, especially if want to save frustration and time when it comes to finishing!
this model was release in 2018, and HF uses several manufacturers for the same products, and vendors have some freedom of design, I see this model on the shelf about every 6 months, so they rotate thru their suppliers is why you'll see different models - I think the adjustment this one has is extremely important! thanks for subscribing!

waste of time to go to the compressor every time I switch nail guns, especially when the air compressor is behind the shop, extra pain when it is snowing...... HF designed the gun to shoot staples, not nails - thanks for subscribing!
*PLASTIC* NO THANKS!
WOW, MY LAST ONE LASTED 21 YEARS BEFORE THE METAL RETAINING CLIP ON THE MAGAZINE BROKE - OBVIOUSLY A PIECE OF CRAP! IT SHOULD HAVE LASTED 100 YEARS, JUST CAN'T FIND A GOOD NAIL GUN FOR $10 ANYMORE - THANKS FOR SUBSCRIBING!
@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews I know I went and got one for $5. For that price as long as I can put a box together i’m fine lol
@@Bigtexbbq I have 2 of these and have ran thousands of nails thru each one and no problems, not even a single jam, thanks for subscribing!
@@Bigtexbbq 1 small box then throw it out. It's not worth the aggravation. Once I tried a different size nail it was shot.
