Copy of 3 Things You Often Overlook When Choosing a Nail Gun Supplier

Last month, a client from Europe told us:

“last time I ordered from one supplier, price was cheap. But when goods arrived, carton was too thin. Many nail guns got scratches.”

Sounds familiar? For many importers, this is a common headache. Choosing a nail gun supplier is not just about price. If you overlook these details, the hidden cost can be far higher:

1. Packaging Strength

Nail guns are metal tools, a little heavy and sharp-edged. If the carton is too thin or the inside lacks proper protection, you'll likely face dents, scratches, or paint peeling during transit.

→ That's why we use double-layer corrugated cartons + custom inserts, tested with a 1.2m drop test before shipping.

2. Certification & Compliance

Markets like Europe and North America require strict certifications (CE, ISO9001, etc.).

→ Without compliance, your shipment can be delayed or even held at customs.

3. After-Sales & Spare Parts Supply

Nail guns are high-frequency tools. No matter how strong the product is, parts like the nosepiece and piston ring are consumables.

→ If the factory cannot provide spare parts support, the importer ends up carrying the after-sales burden (and the cost).

A real case:

A South American client who switched to us said:

“hey my frend, before work with u we always have big problem aftersale. customer say many time coz no spare part. We only can tell them go buy from other place.”

When you source nail guns, what do you care about most — price, lead time, or after-sales service?
