   Matt,

   Bent pc of metal with no fitting.

   Goes between your fitting and the body of the gun

   Senco.

   I get mine from Electric Tool and Equipment in Maumee/AnnArbor.

   I think 6 bucks.  Looks pretty similar in size to the one you linked.

   edit:  If you call Tim at Electric Tool, he'd probably have some in the mail to you quick.  Tell him I sent you.

   888-497-9953

   We've got to keep my original and still supplier in bizness.  Make the call.

   They're called a belt hook.  For 1/4 and 3/8's fitting size I think they're sized.  Two diff. sizes, I tried to copy Senco's pdf pic and part number, but no go. 

   Here's the catalogue-page 17

   This place is where I got mine when they were Stone Mountain Power Tool.  They're still pretty decent folks. might give them a try.

   Payne's on 54-55 has had a simple bent aluminum one for about 6 bucks.

   I would have gotten one, except I have a perfectly good hook I made out of a painter's bucket hook I found in the trash<G>

   We'll have a kid

   Or maybe we'll rent one

   He's got to be straight

   We don't want a bent one

   He'll drink his baby brew

   From a big brass cup

   Someday he may be president

   If things loosen up

   I've got a couple that I bought back in the mid-80s. 3/16" x 1" stock bent into a 2 1/2" x 4" El, slightly rounded and pointed on the hook end.

   No brand name or part number on them, but they're probably the Senco ones that Calvin mentioned -- I, too, do a lot of business with Electric Tool here in Ann Arbor.

   They're really good guys! Yesterday, E Tool was out of the rebuild kit I needed for my nailer, so I had to call around to find one. When I had trouble with it, I took it in to E Tool.

   Even though I had not bought the kit from them, Pete wrestled with it for a while, got my gun to work finally, and wouldn't charge me.

   That's the kind of treatment that makes calvin and me such big cheerleaders for them.

   Yessir, they have kept me running for over 35 yrs.  There is no other tool store that comes close.......tho I've heard good things about Power Tool which is close by.

   You know, we need to meet up for something-eggs, beer or wine and crumpets.  A Great Place for Information, Comraderie, and a Sucker Punch.

   Definitely. My son was playing soccer down in Toledo a few week back, but I had to work. I'll take a rain check with ya, though.A few years back, Toledo was our $300 Spring Break Getaway for several years running. Living a scant hour away, we could get 4 days of out-of-town vacation with only 2 nights paid in a hotel.It started when the Van Gogh exhibit was at the Museum of Art. Wonderful.Of course, a visit to COSI was mandatory, and dinner across the river at Real Seafood was excellent -- way better than the Real Seafood in Ann Arbor.The primate house at the Toledo Zoo is fantastic -- the Old Man always blows me away.On the drive back, you can always drop in to see Tony Perry (who used to work at E Tool) at Midnight Millworks.And of course there's always Cabela's in Dundee.My friends would always crack up when I'd talk about Spring Break in Toledo, and I suppose it'll never sell out on the coasts, but it got me just far enough away from town that I couldn't work, which is what vacation is all about, and our family always had a blast.AitchKayPS I almost forgot breakfast at Barry Bagels in Maumee, or in Westgate on Secor. Interestingly, we've also got a Barry Bagels in our own Westgate, less than a mile from our house.

   Alright then, keep it in mind and I'll do the same.

   A long time ago we'd go up the the art fair-then it got way too big.  A longer time ago we'd be up at Liberty Books and a few of the bars for a show.A Great Place for Information, Comraderie, and a Sucker Punch.

   WOW!!! What a Ride!
