Paslode Side Handle Clamp
Spares support for older Paslode products is patchy at best. Reproducing the side handle clamp locally is often quicker and cheaper than the hunt for old stock. We've made this style of part before and can usually print yours without drama.

Why these break
Side handle clamps crack at the collar. UV exposure breaks down the polymer chains in the original material. By the time the surface looks chalky or faded, the strength underneath is already gone.
How we reproduce them
These take a proper modelling pass: we measure the mounting points and clip geometry from your part, reinforce the known failure point, and verify fit with a test print before the final run.
We print these in PA-CF. Carbon-fibre nylon is the strongest material we run — it goes into parts that carry real load, where a lesser plastic would be the next thing to break.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
