If your tool is starting to misfire, jam, lose power, or just not feel right, one of the first questions is usually pretty simple: what does tool servicing cost, how long will it take, and what actually happens once the tool is booked in?
At Air Gun Services, the process is kept straightforward. The aim is to assess the tool properly, complete the service work needed, and let you know clearly if any further repairs are required. For many customers, that bit of clarity matters just as much as the repair itself.
What does a tool service cost?
As a working example, a standard tool such as a Paslode nailer or finisher service is $184 + GST.
That covers the standard service. If the tool also needs repairs beyond that, the extra work is quoted separately before anything proceeds.
That is important because not every faulty tool has the same issue. Some tools just need a proper service and inspection. Others may have worn or damaged parts that need repair work as well.
What happens when you book a tool in?
The process is simple.
First, the tool is checked and assessed. If it only needs the standard service work, that can be carried out as part of the normal process. If the inspection shows the tool needs additional repairs, you are contacted and given a quote before that extra work goes ahead.
In other words, you are not left guessing, and extra repairs are not just pushed through without approval.
How long does it usually take?
For repairs, the normal guide is around a 2-working-day turnaround.
Standard servicing is handled as quickly as possible, depending on the tool and what it needs. If extra repairs are required, timing can vary a little depending on the issue and any parts involved, but the process stays clear — the tool is assessed, you are contacted if more work is needed, and you are updated once the job is completed.
What tools can be serviced?
Air Gun Services works with a wide range of trade tools and fastening tools. That includes common tools like nailers, finishers, staplers, and other pneumatic or gas-powered tools, depending on the tool type and what is required.
If you are not sure whether your particular tool can be serviced, the easiest move is to get in touch first and ask. That saves time and gets you a clearer answer before you make the trip or send anything in.
Why people ask these questions first
A lot of customers do not just want a price. They want to know whether it is worth doing, how long they will be without the tool, and whether the whole process is going to be a hassle.
That is fair enough.
If you rely on your tools for work, downtime matters. Even if you are not using the tool every day, you still want to know whether a service is the right move before spending money on it. Clear information upfront makes that decision easier.
When a service makes sense
A standard service is often the right move when a tool is:
- still generally in decent condition
- starting to lose performance
- misfiring or jamming occasionally
- overdue for proper maintenance
- worth keeping in service rather than replacing straight away
If the problem is more serious, the inspection stage helps identify that early. From there, you can decide whether the quoted repair work is worth going ahead with.
