A $99 tool and you're gonna repair it? I have a 200 dollar nail gun I bought some 15 years ago. Supposedly it was a Stanley/Bostitch re-labeled for discount tool stores called Stantech. The trigger valve broke and I bought a new one for around 30 bucks plus shipping. harbor Freight sells the exact same gun for $79 on sale and you can use the 20% off coupon.

I would never repair something like this again. I have a real deal Bostich gun for full headed nails and an attachment to nail off metal hardware, but the cheapos nail very well for basic work.

Moral to the story is we are in the disposable tool world now. If if breaks, throw it away.

I'll repair a Milwaukee tool to a certain extent, but the venerable sidewinder Skillsaw has become one of those tools that if you get a good five years out of it using it in your work, just say you're way ahead and toss it when it fails. Framers get one every year or so. They keep the old ones for backup.
