Default 97524 Harbor Freight 2-in-1 18ga nailer / stapler

Results -- I fired 100 rounds of 1" staples
- no jams
- the depth seems a little inconsistent -- I was nailing pine to pine
and osb to osb. The depth adjustment was preset to a max and min. I
opened up the max and it would then drive below the surface -- however
that may have contributed to the next problem..
- the only issue I had was at times it did not "retract" -- if that
makes sense. It would fire.. but no not pull back the firing pin (or
whatever it's called). I pulled it apart a several times, oiled it up
good, and put about 5 total drops of oil in the air inlet. Not sure
if that fixed it or not -- but the problem went away.
- I did not fire any brads, only 1" staples
