Bostitch N70 Pneumatic Framing Nailer

Tool: Bostitch N70 Framing Nailer

Could this be the only tool in my shop that isn’t working? Anything I say about this gun would be speculation because this unit has never fired a nail. Despite the picture showing a half clip of nails locked and loaded, this Bostitch N70 Framing Nailer never worked. Happy Friday the 13th.

I can’t justifiably rate this tool.

I received this old tool new in box. The box was still sealed, it was a new gun, even though the manufacture date was many years prior. Basically, someone gave me a brand new older model Framing Nailer. I hooked it up, but nothing… no leaking air sounds, no action. Nothing. Since then I’ve hung on to it for over ten years even though it doesn’t work. I’m not sure what I’m expecting.

I have experience with the N70/N80 nailers from years using Bostitch Framing guns on General Construction projects. My first ten years as a carpenter were spent Framing and Sheathing with a Hitachi in one hand and a Bostitch in the other.

I have several other Bostitch pneumatic nailers, some listed on this site already. I trust the name for weighty but long lasting nailers.
