No Mar tips [Posted on 2003-04-16]
Element works fine. Tips shatter in temperatures below 40F. Paslode has no knowledge of any problems and request parts be shipped back to factory. Replacement tips almost impossible to find, even on Internet.

should be designed differently! [Posted on 2005-07-15]
I had to completely take off the adjustable tip that came with the Framing Nailer. The screws were then too long and I had to shim it with a make-shift washer. Could have been designed to simply slide onto the end without removing the adjusting mechanism.

I thought I was sent the wrong part. [Posted on 2005-12-19]
After carefully checking the part numbers, I realized I had the correct item. Then I had to ask how did such a poorly designed item come from Paslode. The Non-Mar Contact Element doesn't fit the cordless framing nailer using the screws that hold the adjustable Standard Work-Contacing Element on the tool. It appears as though new screws must be purchased, or a shim must be made (see another reviewer's comments). I haven't had a chance to figure out what I will have to do to make this thing work with the Non-Mar Contact Element. Needless to say, Paslode needs to make a correction (include screws with the Non-Mar Contact Element, or redesign the Non-Mar Contact Element so that it can be adjusted without tools like the Standard Work-Contacting Element. Until such a correction is made I would avoid the Non-Mar Contact Element unless you absolutely need it. If you figure out how to make it fit the tool, please let me know.

Wrong part for the 900420 Nailer [Posted on 2005-12-27]
I purchased this Contact Element for my Paslode cordless framing nailer (model 900420) which I bought here on Amazon. Unfortunately, this Contact Element is for the older models of cordless framing nailer. In fact, when I received the item, the little instruction card inside the package said this was for cordless nailers with the black or silver contact element. The new 900420 gun has an orange contact element. Anyway, I contacted Paslode directly, and was told that the correct part number for a No-Mar Contact Element for the 900420 gun is 901252. If you have the new 900420 gun, contact Paslode for a parts supplier/service center in your area to purchase the 901252 Contact Element, as it does not appear to be available here on Amazon, nor anywhere else on the Internet.
