I've taken it apart :D  I found the barrel you're on about, and the blades are only in lose, but the edges of them are bone dry, everything else is oiled.

in that case dont need to post a pic

drum:
So you'd expect them to be oily right??

I'll clean them up, and give it a drop of oil on each one, and work them in and out a few times. Then reassemble and try it again.

drum:
Well I put it back together and tried it, and no difference, but it it using air at one hell of a rate, which would tie in with the paddles sticking in the barrell.

I'll have another play with it tomorrow.

Sharpshooter:
I use them at work. I have a Snap-On 1/2" drive, and i can remove truck wheelnuts at 450LbFt. Alot depends on the supply. As has been said before, you need a higher CFM to run a windy gun, due to the large capacity of air they use. Use the largest bore hose you can too. The small compressors from Screwfix and such like, I.E. 1.5hp ones are ok, but only for short bursts. You really would notice the difference with a 2hp or above. Also, the larger the storage tank the better.

You should oil all air tools Daily, and dont use thick oil, as it will cause the gun to Hydraulic lock. Use proper air tool oil, or Hydraulic oil ive found is good. Also oil them lightly when you have finnished using before storing. :)

Hope this helps.
