If you’re wondering exactly how an “internal combustion” cordless nailer works, Sean’s here to show you. He walks you through the basics, then drives a few nails to give you a feel for the nailer.

I like paslodes and the recall I’m posting about isn’t an indictment of the brand — just a bad lot. But since this was still on the RSS feed, I thought folks might want to know.

@Eric: Having grown up in small-town Texas, I can say for certain that that image you linked is no joke. Really.

While this model seems to be unavailable as yet at most of the outlets that I tried - Paslode make the claim that this uses a new fuel cell - differnt loading method and a new easier way to break the tool down for maintenance. We have 11 Paslode Cordless trim nailers - and our only issue is that they need a bit of regular maintenace to clean and re-lubricate the piston.
Has anyone actually put this CF-325 model to use yet - such that they can give a user’s perspective?
