How do I avoid air supply problems for pneumatic tools?
A. One problem is restricted air flow. Restrictions in the air line will cause a pressure drop to occur as a tool is being used in a fast operation. As the pressure drop occurs, drive power is reduced and the fasteners will be driven in a staircase appearance. That is, the first fastener will be driven all the way in – the next fastener will be a little higher, with the next fastener being even higher.
