The regulator on mine works differently. The tank stays at a high pressure while the regulator reduces the pressure in the supply hose. There are two pressure gauges, one for the tank and the other for the post regulator. As the tank pressure goes up and down the pressure supplied to the tool stays constant. Most nail guns operate at 70 to 100 psi. With a regulator of this kind you don't have to worry about nails not going in all the way when the pressure is low, just before the motor comes on, or being driven too deep just after the motor turns off.
