Just bought a brand new Benchmark 20V Max 2" Brushless Nailer/Stapler; It doesn't work. I fully charged the battery, put in one inch Benchmark nails and it doesn't work. I will take it back to the store tomorrow!

If the Benchmark 20V Max 2" Brushless Nailer/Stapler is not working despite a fully charged battery and using one-inch Benchmark nails, possible reasons include:

1. Incorrect loading of nails: Nails must be placed against the profiled side of the rail, with the points facing downwards. Improper placement can prevent the tool from firing.

2. Magazine not properly closed: The magazine cover must be fully closed and engaged with the release button.

3. Defective or damaged nails: Even if they are the correct size, damaged nails may jam the tool.

4. Tool safety mechanism engaged: The contact pin must spring back properly. If not, the trigger will not activate the firing mechanism.

5. Tool malfunction or defect: If all procedures are correct and the tool still does not work, it may have a defect in material or workmanship.

6. Battery issue despite charge: A battery may show as charged but still be non-operational due to internal defects. The red indicator light ON with a fully inserted battery may signal this.

7. Operating temperature out of range: If the tool or battery is used in temperatures below 5°C (41°F) or above 40.5°C (105°F), it may not function properly.
