PORTER CABLE A00104 Porter Cable O Ring Review

20 year old Porter BN200A cord started to lose air. spent 5 minutes researching, watched a video on youtube. went to Revain. I was back on the job 18 hours late. PERFECT.

Loved getting the right part as the IPB wasn't perfect. other provider. It turns out that both fit. A real "head scratcher" Thank you. I'm back in business.

I have a very old BN-125A that stopped firing and couldn't hold pressure. I removed the head and noticed that this seal was almost completely gone. All other components turned out to be in decent condition, so I jumped at the chance to just take this seal. Like new in 5 minutes!

Spent several hours breaking with a pistol to blow air out at the top. After countless resets I found this and installed it. I should have bought it at the beginning of the project. It would save me from countless FRACKS and BS (nonsense sandwiches).

After watching a few instructional videos and looking at the parts diagram, I realized that this was an easy repair that saved me from buying a new nailer. The part fitted my Porter BN125A cable perfectly and solved the problem of air leakage from the gun. The exchange took less than 15 minutes. Most of the time was spent cleaning parts of the old o-ring that were dry rotted. The only tools needed were good pair of tweezers and a 5/32 hex key (hex wrench).

I wasn't entirely sure if it was the right o-ring because the part number isn't a pistol, and also a look at the original o-ring (looks , as if someone had hit it with a hammer) I dared. My pistol vented as soon as it was hooked up to the air duct and pulling the trigger had no effect. I oiled it with air tool oil and put it back in place, it was tight, very tight but eventually it settled into its groove. And solved the air leak.

I bought this to repair a Porter Cable pneumatic nailer. It worked very well. Assuming it holds up over time, it's worth 5 stars in terms of performance. I gave 4 stars because it doesn't seem like value for money. Yes, $6 is an inexpensive repair, but it's just an o-ring. I was able to purchase it for $3 from a link on the Porter Cable website, but shipping was $7. You could probably buy a suitable o-ring at your local hardware store for a lot less, but in my case it wasn't worth the time and…
