Editorial Review:
Great for light framing--remodeling, especially--this Impulse cordless framing nailer from Paslode lets you avoid the hassle of compressor hoses and compressor noise. The nailer's small, 12-inch-long, lightweight body (6.9 pounds) is easy to hold and, because you're not dragging a hose, doesn't cause as much arm fatigue as other nailers. The nailer drives 2- to 3-1/4-inch nails and has easy-to-adjust drive depth and a high-visibility load magazine. This Paslode nailer uses a patented system that requires both a fuel cell and an included rechargeable battery. Overall, we were impressed with the nailer's performance--it's consistent and there's adequate power for most uses. This model shoots up to 1,200 nails on a single fuel cell and up to 4,000 nails on a full battery charge. There's a convenient belt hanger so you don't have to lay the nailer on the ground or on top of a ladder or wedge it among rafters, and the high-visibility orange makes it difficult to misplace. The kit includes a plastic carrying case, a lightweight charger, and safety goggles. Please note that the nailer does not come with the fuel cell included. --Jonathon Tudor

Great tool:
I'm getting a little long in the tooth for construction projects but I decided to build a new garage anyway. I struggled with which nailer to buy so I could avoid the tendon strains and sore muscles from using a hammer. Dragging a compressor around did not appeal to me. It was between the Hitachi and the Paslode. Too many bad reviews on the Hitachi. I bought the Paslode and have run a half box each of 3" and 2" nails through it. The depth adjustment is terrific and simple. You can drive as many nails as you... more info
Solid performance, easy to use, exceeded my expectations:
I bought this framing nailer for a small (12x16) cabin we were building in the Adirondaks. Since we had to haul everything up to the site the lack of need for compressor and airhoses was attractive. I am a good rough carpenter but not a professional. I had never used a power nailer before. We used the framing nailer for about 5000 nails over a two-week period and had only one jam, easily cleared. It was extremely reliable and had sufficient power for all our purposes. Some of the complaints about the... more info
Buyer Beware of Altitude:
Let the Buyer Beware: It is not obvious until you receive your Paslode nailer that it is not to be used above 4500 ft (according to technical support) and the box says 5000 ft. We live in Colorado at 7500 feet and of course the gun is Dead ON Arrival - no fault to the gun. And then you can't return it for a refund because it runs on gas ... so let's just say that this was a VERY disappointing purchase from Amazon, who should be able to state very clearly the limitations of every product sold. My Bad -... more info
Wish I bought it earlier...:
Just finished a shed project with this nailer... I wished I had bought it earlier! In a previous shed project, I've used a power actuated hammer (the one that fires the .22 blanks) to put hardened (expensive) nails into concrete block (the wall along the side of the shed is a 6' concrete block wall to which I attached the shed). On this project, I was able to use the Paslode nailer to do the same job much more quickly and I used the common framing nails (which drove straight and true thru the 2x4's and into... more info
