What the heck is it with brad nailers.
I have had now about 5-6 of them.
They last about five years and something breaks internally. I buy a new one because the parts aren't available anymore and not one of them does anything more than the previous ones
But each one is a different design and each one I can't get parts for..
I've had a craftsman beginning in 2000; it broke and I ordered replacement parts for the same cost as a HF I bought to finish while waiting.
Eventually the HF broke and I replaced it and I bought a Bostich on sale and when it broke there were no parts. Then The Craftsman broke again, no parts anymore and it went to the trash and now my HF broke with no parts available. I think I trashed another Bostich, too, but it was only up to 1-1/2 inch brads.
Why don't they make one Model T or Volkswagen design sell it for $20 and have all the parts the same design for 25 years and be done. A $10 kit could repair every brad nailer out there.for the next 30 years.
Or why can't the plastic parts and gaskets and pistons be made of metal and not break after 5 years?
Besides the obvious that's I'd not be buying 6 nailers, maybe 2 maximum if that were the case.
And I've also tossed some staplers, too I know.
OK, Rant over.
