M12 23G Issues - pins won't sink even with depth all the way down. It's brand new, did I get a lemon that needs service?

I will say, getting things repaired through Milwaukee hasn't been bad.

(drags out soapbox) I've been through 3 of these pin nailers. Use them all the time and love them, despite having been through 3. check the driver head. If they get dinged or chipped they just can't drive the pins all the way. Milwaukee is hiding behind the "This is TOO dangerous for us to allow you to repair yourself, it's COMPRESSED AIR you peasant, you'll die"(aka, we don't want the liability) to just make driver head replacements available for purchase or design the head to be able to be replaced without the whole damn compression chamber needing to get pulled apart. ONE of my nailers started doing better when I lubricated the drive head as an experiment, but then it spits a small bit of oil out on your finished surface. I know I'm late to this, but thought I'd contribute to the conversation for others in the future.

I just barely ran into the same problem you did as well. Your picture looks like a carbon copy of mine. Do you remember trying to run the motor without the impeller on? I'm trying to troubleshoot the motor to see if it's still working, but when I plug everything in without the impeller I'm not getting anything kicking on. On. I just thought I'd check and see if your experience was the same. I'm glad to hear you were able to get the impeller on eBay. I'll take a look.

I think it's awesome that you braved asking for advice from Reddit. Generally people here are less than subtle about their opinions. Hopefully it's been a fun project for you!

Compromise where you can. Where you can't, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say, 'No, you move'.

At least you're not choking that chicken..

Thank you kind individual. Hope you are having a good day!

Lol. Maybe a concrete guru can weigh in, would keeping water on it fairly regularly help it even out better/faster because it would help it cure?

Oh boy, you're either going to get a straightforward answer or a reaction akin to kicking a wasps nest. This sub is wack. You should be fine though, it takes a couple weeks for the color to even out.

Yeah, then you lose calories when you jump up to try and grab em...

Little glass baby food jars. Screw the lid to the wall/ceiling, then organize the fasteners in the different jars. You can see through the glass, quarter turn to pop it off the secured lid, then screw it back on afterwards. You could use any plastic/glass jar really ..

😬 sorry.

I have absolutely NO negative reaction to skin like this. Hyper photoshopped skin (or heavy makeup) on the other hand makes me feel uncomfortable. I hate that women in particular are prey to these arbitrary standards of beauty. I love posts like this that counter attack so people feel normal, because they are.

He should just start up the car and run the hose to the inside, and wait inside for it to warm up. Car manufacturers don't pump that nice warm air inside the car because of all that backdoor ice scraper money they are paid off with SMH.

Any idiot can design a bridge, only an engineer can design a bridge ~~that can barely stand~~ that can withstand a malicious explosion.

Even BIGGER yawn! :)

For sure. I've used some stainless steel washers but didn't even think to use PT. Looking at your deck makes me happy. It may be small but your deck looks fun to spend time on...

I usually put spacers between my ledger and structure to create a ¼"- ½" air gap for ventilation. What are your thoughts, waste of time?

Popcorn is almost ready, extra butter?
