You might find a repair shop, that will only replace the parts that are worn out. I took in a heavy duty flooring stapler (Doufast) expecting it to cost about $100 or so. I was surprised when it was only $13. I then asked why, the tech said, he just stocks all the O-Rings and only replaces the bad ones. The Stapler worked like new and has seen another 5 years for the owner. Dan

Senco, Bostich, Duofast are the pro brands. But by your own admission you dont shoot that many nails. I have a collection that included a Senco and a Duofast. The Duofast is down with O ring problems, the Senco still work I hope. I also have some HF guns and last I checked they still worked. Probably more of a crapshoot then anything else with reliability.

I’ve replaced my pneumatic nailers with cordless. Feels great to not have to fire up the compressor anymore. I find everything about the battery powered ones superior to my old porter cable guns. *for hobbiest use.

I've decided to replace it with something else. What's a decent nailer for a non-professional user?
Factory rebuilt?
Dealer repair?
Mom and Pop shop repair?
Complete or partial repair?
Just trying to figure why it went down.
