Is a Paslode service worth it?

01/11/2020

Harlequin Fixings and Sealants is an approved Paslode warranty repair and service centre. This makes us better than most at answering this question.
When deciding to get a nail gun serviced you are most likely to have two main concerns “how much will it cost?” and “How long will it take?” these concerns are to be expected. Due to these concerns a lot of customers will try to clean or fix an issue themselves. We would never discourage any one from cleaning there gun in fact we would encourage this to be done regularly but if your gun develops a fault or has stopped firing we would suggest you go to an authorised repair centre. The reason for this is we receive a number of nail guns which have been taken apart and put back together wrongly causing further damage and repair costs.
Now to answer those concerns:

How much will it cost?
Services are usually between £55 and £70 +vat depending on tool model. Any additional parts which are faulty and need replaced which are not included in a service would be quoted for before any work was carried out
Now you have another question. What do I get for that?
Well if we do it, the gun will be stripped down and inspected by our fully trained technicians. You will then be contacted with a quote. Once we have been given authorisation to proceed with the service/repair. We put all non-electrical components in our hot wash bath system which is specially designed to remove all dirt and grime from the gun. Once it has been cleaned and dried it is then reassembled with new O-rings, battery pads and fuel pads fitted. It will then be lubricated and fully test fired. Once this has all been done we replace labels on the gun. This full process will take up to 2 hours to be done correctly.

The gun will then be looking like new!

How long does it take?
Well we aim to have your gun turned around in 2 days of receipt. This can sometimes be slightly longer during busy periods, If it is going to take longer than a couple of days you will be notified of the time scale.

Conclusion
I feel if you think about it, a nail gun is much like a car or work van. There all fantastic when they work but when they stop working it’s a nightmare as you need these to work and make money for you. So like your car or van if you take care of your gun and get it serviced at least once a year it helps prevent expensive repair costs and will work better and last longer.
So……The answer is YES having your nail gun serviced is very important!
