I really appreciate my wife when it comes down to doing a new project when all I have to do is to mention a new tool purchase is needed to do the job correctly. She seldom has any problems with any new toys for the shop. I guess she thinks that is cheaper than chasing other women or a fast car.
Anyway she decided on a new stairway and as a result, I am obligated to do so providing I get a new 15ga finish nailer to complement the others I already have. After much reseach, I decided on a Dewalt D51275 and ordered it from Amazon.
It arrived the other day with the outer carton in not too good condition but I accepted it anyway know that there is other packing in the package. Upon opening the Dewalt hard case, I found the nailer to be undamaged but to my surprise, it was missing its trigger lever. Since I am out of time, I called Dewalt and they are shipping the missing parts on an expedited basis.
Now the question to the group is; since the trigger is missing, would the nailer have even been tested before leaving the factory and if so, should I even consider keeping it considering the time constraints I have or should I get a replacement?
