If your Mercedes developed a flat tire, would you scrap it?
Repair it, Senco is a top notch brand built to last for years and be
rebuilt.

Absolutely worth getting serviced. Senco is not Harbor Freight. They
are a quality tool designed for hard work. I'm surprised about the two
years, though. Mine is older than that and hasn't developed any
problems. Still, it's worth fixing.

If you can't figure out how to use it, I probably wouldn't

How much does a service kit cost? Usually just a few o rings or seals
and some grease fixes a tool.

That was my first thought. I got my SFN40 for practically nothing
because it had been oiled and all the seals were leaking. A quick
rebuild took care of the problem.
Regardless, a Senco is worth rebuilding.
