Nail gun should be ok. The rest (anything with motor and electrical
switch)
should be completely dry first. Don't use WD40.

What's wrong with WD-40? One should let the carrier evaporate after
spraying so that the sparks don't cause a minor "explosion" but driving
out
water is what WD-40 does best!



Read the other posts regarding WD40. It attracts dust and dirt plus you
don't want it driving the dirty acid ran water (good conductor by the way)
into areas in the motor and electrical contacts. WD40 is a good conductor,
certainly much more so after it attracts dusts and dirt, while distilled
water, which I prefer over WD40, is a good insulator but 120V may not make
that much of a difference unless you run into higher voltages in the kV
range. Just my opinion FWIW.
