Consider a reconditioned one. You can pick one up for about half the price of new and they come with a decent warranty. You can Google them or there are a couple places you can look. http://toolking.comcarries many reconditioned as well as good prices on new tools. That's where I got my Bostitch RN46 from. ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Klarich To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 4:46 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Rent or own, that is the question
Hey all: Over the past 4 years or so, I've needed a roofing nailer 3 times. If I add up all the money I've spent on renting one, I have purchased one for the tool rental company out right. In my mind, I'm thinking I won't use one enough to purchase one; but, evidently, this isn't the case. I've wasted about $250 so far. On the other hand, I don't think I'll need one for the forseeable future. Unless, I have to replace another roof plumming vent as I did last weekend. Having a nailer sure makes the job go much quicker and easier than a hammer and box of roofing nails. I'm half way tempted to get one the next time I have to do any roof work. What do you all think?
