      My neighbor has asked me to build up a worn spot on the drive pin of   
   his framing nailer . I'm not sure what model it is . The pin has wear on   
   the flat side at the tip , and it appears to be from sliding against the   
   head of the next nail in line . I'm considering using SS for better   
   abrasion resistance . The pin is not particularly hard , can be marked   
   with a file , but "mushrooming" in the repaired area is also a   
   consideration . Replacement pins are available ...
