That brand new needle gun seized up on me after 20 minutes on a job in Gary

Had to crack it open right there on the tank and found a burr in the piston sleeve, so now I carry a spare set of guts for every power tool I own-anyone else had a new tool fail that fast?

Did you try hitting it with a hammer first?

Bet, especially a big rubber mallet if it's being stubborn.

Man, that's rough. I mean @thea_bell's hammer idea makes me chuckle but it just shows how nothing's built to last these days, even brand new stuff is a gamble.
