My 20-year-old framing nailer finally quit on me last Tuesday.

Everyone says to just buy a new one, but I'm going to try rebuilding it because the new ones feel cheap. Has anyone had luck finding parts for a Paslode 3500 lately?

Wait, that thing lasted twenty years?

Wow, twenty years is a real run. My old truck is like that, you just get used to the feel of the real metal parts. I tried fixing a coffee grinder from the nineties last month and the hunt for the right little spring was half the battle. Some of those older parts are out there, but you have to dig through dusty corners of the internet.

Ever think about how @emma_rodriguez34 is right and that's why parts are so hard to find now?
