I've come across that problem on a couple of Performers I picked up to flip. Prices on both were discounted as the sellers stated the gas assist didn't work. I freed them up by using a pair of channel locks on them. They worked fine after that.   My guess is that it's caused by folks turning them off to aggressively.

I sprayed penetration oil, letting set awhile.  Will try channel locks if oil doesn't work  Thanks
