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

What happens here

The presenter highlights that the plastic components, particularly the trigger guard and the plastic lock on the trigger mechanism, are major durability concerns. He notes that these parts are susceptible to breaking if the gun is accidentally dropped, a common occurrence in painting jobs. He contrasts this with the older Graco Contractor gun, which never broke, even after multiple drops. This vulnerability in the PC model has also been observed and confirmed by various service centers.

Goal: Highlight the fragility and breakage potential of the Graco Contractor PC's plastic components

that's going to become a problem extremely fast and it's not going to slide up and down and i've seen that with my guns that i've used with the the contractor pc guns that i've had also um i've spoke to a couple of service centers around here that serviced these guns and the triggers breaking were definitely a problem fall off a roof once or twice and the trigger breaks the trigger on this is not neces not near as strong of a metal and i'm not a metal expert i don't know what this is made out of versus what this is made out of but this looks like it's got like a coating on it and stuff and it actually breaks i've had one break right here when it fell off of a roof and it broke fairly easy and i've once again never had one of these triggers ever break and so what you're just adding a bunch of plastic the the trigger um lock on it is plastic and it has a pen through there and to me the plastic is eventually gonna break you know soon over time this trigger mechanism that slides up and down is plastic um it's it does have a guard around it so if it falls it's not gonna be hitting anything but the plastic itself i don't think is going to last
