Why will the tool not drive nail it only bends

The Milwaukee M18 FN16GA tool may bend nails instead of driving them due to several possible reasons:

1. Incorrect Nail Length or Gauge – Using nails that are too long, too thick, or not compatible with the tool can cause bending.
2. Improper Depth Adjustment – If the depth of drive is not set correctly, the nails may not penetrate properly and could bend.
3. Hard or Dense Material – The tool may struggle to drive nails into very hard wood, causing them to bend instead of being fully driven.
4. Low Battery Power – A weak battery may not provide enough power for proper nail penetration.
5. Jammed Nails or Misalignment – If nails are jammed or not aligned properly in the magazine, they may not fire straight.
6. Dull or Damaged Nail Tip – If the nail tip is not sharp enough, it may not penetrate effectively and could bend.

Checking these factors and making necessary adjustments should help prevent nails from bending.
