This review is from: Porter-Cable 60074 Overhaul Kit For FR350 and FC350 Pneumatic Framers (Tools & Home Improvement)

This kit is designed to overhaul Porter Cable FR350 & FC350 nail guns. It includes all the o-rings, the "stuff" needed for the trigger mechanism and the inside bumper to cushion the slide. What it doesn't include is the plastic spring guide (about the size of a golf ball) located in the top of the air ram. This is the part that breaks after years of use and storage. The part actually disintegrates when it fails and when it does the nail gun will not shoot nails.

I bought this kit for my older FR350 that was no longer shooting nails because air was bypassing the ram. The re-furbish is pretty straight forward until the trigger mechanism where it is a little more complex. Unfortunately, I needed the spring guide to repair mine so I had to go out and find a parts store and buy it ($20.00 + tax). With the cost of the kit ($49.95 on Amazon), my travel to the parts store and my time it would have been better to scrap the gun and buy a refurbished one with 30 day warranty.

My nail gun works fine now and I expect it to give me years more service but I wouldn't go through the process and frustration again.

Just my two cents...
