Brad nailer getting jammed

Hi,

I do not use my brad nailer that often, but for outdoor project while the glue dries is a easier and faster way than clamping the pieces together.

My frustration is, that about every 15-20 brads, it gets jammed. I undo the nailer, remove the twisted brad and starts again.

I did not invest in a good brad nailer,  it is just a HF and I believe also the brads came from there, over 10 years ago.

Why does it jam ?

-1 : it is a HF, what do you expect ?

-2: some brad are made of cheaper alloys than other, do not buy brads from HF ?

-3:what do you use for brad nailer ? experience with it jamming ?

-4:similar experience with getting HF's brads ?

The brads are 1.25" or 1.5" long.

For the pressure, I will need to check it. I believe it is the default setup for the pressure (pancake compressor).

Oil it  ? It was its first use yesterday in 5-6 years. I do not remember where it was last oiled, it was my father in-law.

I will try oiling it and see if it improves my naileage between jams.
