My local lumber supplier called the other day. It went something like this:
Me: Hello?
LS: Hey, do you have any Bostich clipped head framing nailers you want to part with?
Me: Yeah, infact, I have one that I bought in the early 90's that I'm going to throw away because it just broke for the 4th time.
LS: How would you like to trade it straight across for a new Senco round head framing nailer.
Me: What's the catch?
LS: No catch. It's a super secret Senco promotion.
Me: Sounds good. BTW, I have 3 Hilti nailers that I'll trade also.
LS: Sorry, Senco knows that Hilti's are pos's. But I can help you further if you have any Bostich coil nailers.
Me: Indeed I do. I have a roofing nailer that I hate to part with. It's been a great gun. But it is going on 7 years old now.
LS: So you probably need to trade it for a new Senco. Right?
Me: Yep. Probably a good idea.
