Graco Contractor and Contractor PC Review: Is it Worth your Money?

What happens here

While acknowledging the versatility of the adjustable trigger, the presenter expresses concern about its practicality and durability. He notes that the adjustment screw is difficult to access, especially when paint clogs the mechanism, making quick adjustments challenging. He also questions the durability of the plastic components within the trigger assembly, suggesting they are a weak point compared to the all-metal construction of older models. The presenter also argues that a 2-finger grip is generally sufficient for proper gun control.

Goal: Critique the design and long-term durability of the adjustable trigger mechanism

finger gun and i think that's that makes the gun more versatile um i've been a two finger gun guy in you know all my painting career because you need two fingers to control the gun to hold the gun if you're a four finger gun right here you have four fingers on the trigger and you're not you don't have anything else to control that gun in your hand this gun does have i'm typically a lot of pressure behind it and getting paint injected could be a dangerous thing so you want to have control of your gun and not have accidental trigger pulls or drop this gun uh three fingers gives you now three fingers on the gun and one finger in control of the gun i still for the life of me i'm not sure why anybody would use anything other than a two finger setup right here but hey it makes the gun versatile but let's talk about now the little mechanism behind here this is all going to get clogged with paint extremely fast and you have to it has a flathead screwdriver on it but you can't it's hard to get it down in the angle at that thing to twist and turn it it's um knurled on it so you can grab it with your fingers because you want to once you get it where you want it you want to tighten it up and then it's going to stay where it's at and that there's like this little device in here but it's really once it's tight it's really hard to get to to loosen and adjust it and i for me it's just going to be set one way and never changed but maybe you got multiple guys in your crew one guy likes it two finger one guy likes it four fingers so now you can adjust it but i'm going to tell you right now this rail it slides on that's going to become a problem
