I truly miss my Makita cordless nailer. Well, in reality it wasn’t mine, but the company I worked for. However I used it day in and day out for almost 6 months so I grew quite attached. It’s amazing how quickly the cordless tool quality has changed in the past 10 years. These Paslode nailers look amazing - just what I need to maintain my cabin!

What a great giveaway! I am just about done framing by basement and I have been using a nailer with a hose. What a pain! The hose catches on corners, knocks over studs waiting to be nailed, and the compressor is so loud we have to leave it outside and run the hose through the window. I have a lot of work left to go on the basement and these cordless/hoseless nailers would speed up the work and make it safer. PLEASE pick me!

These cordless Paslode nailers are awesome. When you have to be nailing in places such as up in rafters, these are great. You don’t have to worry about pulling an air hose around with you. I haven’t bought one yet for myself, but I have been really thinking about buying one. I use these at work doing residential construction, and I love them! What is also handy is that the nail gun has a handy hanger on it as well, that lets you hang it right on a truss. No more trying to figure out where to balance the gun, and end up dropping it. You can just hang it and it will stay there until you need it again. I have only got to use the framing nailer though. I am anxious to see how the other cordless tools will do. I would definitely use these if I had them. I sometimes do remodeling jobs, and it would sure be a big help.

Can’t even tell you how great it is to own Paslode guns. My first was a 5350 which I purchased in 1989 after throwing a Hilti away because it constantly jammed and they could not fix it. (Never even made it through a box of nails) They 5350 still works but I almost never even use even in the shop, just not worth the time to set it up.

What could be easier than popping open those great cases and throwing in a battery. Those of you who drool over this tool are never going to get it. These tools save tons of time and make you more $$$. Period. Get out there and get one as soon as you can.

I have some other air nailers, but everytime that paslode comes out with a new tool I BUY IT… For the same reasons I mentioned above. There quality cannot be beat and all of my Paslode tools are still working after a decade of work.
A new set would be WONDERFUL, and very refreshing as I could make even more $$$ putting them to work in the hands of the guys who work for me that DON’T HAVE THEM!

Paslode makes the best nail guns I have ever used. They work very well and i have 3 of them here in Panama with me. I am in the process of building a motel on the beach here. Although i have 3 only 1 works and thats just barely. i believe there is something wrong in the electric systems in the gun. Down here there are no places to get them fixed and there is no way to get any products to fix them down here in time. so as you can see i am in great need of these guns and they would be put to great use. Thank you

I just finished a two year heritage carpentry course which now has left me $25000 in debt. I starting working on my own about three months ago and Im doing really well. I love the paslode cordless nailers. A couple of contractors I worked for had them and I instantly fell in love. Not only because there is no long air hose to drag around but it is so comfortable. I have used other cordless nailers before, but they don’t compare to the paslodes style. I have gone out and bought a paslode 16ga cordless because I love them so much. I would never think of owning any other nailer whether a cordless or air. These guns take a lot of abuse and keep going. well worth the money. I wish I could purchase the set, that would be a miracle.

Thanks Dan

I have just finished my carpentry apprenticeship and I don’t own my own paslode guns yet but i once borrowed my friends. The best tool ive ever used. Ever since i used it ive hated picking up my hammer. Because i have finished my apprenticeship i am looking to buy my own nail gun and other tools. I have been looking at the new makita nail gun but have never used one. Paslode looks to be the most reliable tool in this field, so i think im going to save my money to get my own paslode guns. Unless i win these haha.
thanks, Aled

I am a long term volunteer (1 year) in Greensburg, KS. I’m working Mennonite Housing to rebuild homes for people who lost everything in a tornado.

We have around 23 houses that we are working on. We do everything from framing to trim work on the houses. A lot of the work is done by volunteers.

These tools would save us many headaches of haul compressors and generators back and forth to job sites. By doing this it gives us more time to do the job and less time hauling tools. That means we can get people into their homes much faster.

When i was at school my dream job was to become a carpenter and because i am a girl nobody except my family believed i would fulfill this dream. All kept hearing from everybody was it was a mans job and i would never manage. I was really determined by this so after alot of hard work i eventually got a job as an apprentice joiner and i loved every minute of it. Unfortunatly when i was half way through my apprenticeship i was paid off and am currently struggling to get another job due to the current economic climate. I have been keeping busying doing odd jobs but it is so much slower hand nailing things so if i was to win the nailguns it would be fantastic and so much quicker. It would also allow me to make much more money so i can keep doing my dream job.

Love the Nailers!! I have used air nailers for years, always thought there has to be an easier way. THIS IS IT! We built a climate control room at my work place for the companys computer main frame….it went up so fast and easy, thanks to your products. It was my first time using a compressor free nailer. Safety was greatly increased because of the lack of having to pull the air hose out of the way while using ladders and scaffolding. Can’t say it enough…Thanks paslode!

I am a DYI-er and I love this gun. I should be a granny cooking and baking but that doesn’t do it for me. I have many tools and if I did bake I guess this would be the icing on my tool cake.

Sorry this is so long but, I feel it’s important. My wife and I wanted to build a large shed/workshop, somewhere around 12′x24′. I research everything so when it came time to decide what type and size we wanted, we were excited to buy into a old 1800’s farm barn. This barns are falling down and getting hard to find, as farmers are forced to either burying the wood or burning them down to make room for newer shelters. Saving these barns with the old growth trees from 200-1000 years ago, is very important, as we will never see any again. Today, most building lumber comes from tree farms, cut by machine and heavily processed, but a hundred or more years ago, the wood used to build structures was not only rough cut, or hand cut, but it was old growth forest. And if you’ve never seen a kitchen or living room built with these hand hewn beams and cut barn boards, with that rich patina that only comes with decades of daily use and weathering from wind, rain and sun, then you’re missing out. Reclaimed wood is an elegant, graceful, and sturdy material used for many different home construction and renovation projects, ranging from furniture construction to a home’s frame.

Anyway, when I told her, “boy, a cordless nailer would be great for this old man to use for building the shed” ! When see looked at the price for these guns, she was not a happy camper but, agreed with my old muscles telling us, I’m not a youngster anymore. When I started researching, I wanted a high quality but not over priced nailer. I talked with two local home builders and reading a lot of material on the web, I bought my Paslode. When I put 2-2×4’s on my bench and pulled the trigger, I was so shocked & thrilled that I bought a product that actually not only worked but, was fun to use ! I went scurrying around the garage to find anything I could nail. After encouraging my wife to try it, and after the initial pop/whoosh sound, she liked it and said, give me another piece of wood. lol !

Well I’ll tell ya, this tool made the build so,…..much faster and easier, that we are helping others with this “reclaimed wood barn lumber”, for floors, furniture, art work and,…..other sheds. All of us that have used it, we haven’t had any problems at all except, “WHERE DID THE BOX OF NAILS GO” LOL.

Just like owning a truck, my “Paslode” nail gun has become very popular ! Now I need a finish and brad nailer too !

From the “Barn Gang”, thank you for a great product Paslode !
Kevin & Patty.

Awesome tools. The ease of getting around the job site enables me to work efficiently.

I best ting about these tools to that you can work in a remote area you do not need power for an air compressor. Also the thing I liked about the one I saw was that you don’t have the noise of a compressor running, so when your not using the tool you can talk. I own an old house and am always working on it so one day I am upstairs and the next down these would make it so much easier/. Dave in upstate new york

My husband is starting a handyman service and could really use these tools.

My husband really deserves these new tools. He is a wonderful father and husband who is constantly donating his handy services to help out friends and family with home improvements. He works in finance in NY city and with the crashing markets, he has tried to keep our family afloat by doing side jobs after his already tedious 14 hour work day. He thinks nothing of volunteering his time and services for organizations such as “hearts and hammers” and is always helping out our elderly neighbors. If won, these tools would be put to good use in improving the lives of many of our friends and family. They would also make his good deeds much quicker and easier which would allow him to have more time to spend with his family. Thank you for this opportunity.

I must be honest with everyboby reading these posts, I have and have used all the cordless nailers by Paslode and their a pleasure to work with, I have been using my framing nailer for over five years doing room additions, stairs, porches and rough framing and never had it serviced or had a problem with it, these tools are made to last and very user friendly, I highly recommend them to anyone!!!!!!

My buddy introduced me to Paslode cordless nailers. These things are so much more convenient than any other nailer I have ever used. The batteries last forever on a single charge too. Just make sure your fuel cells don’t expire and these things will never misfire.

Does paslode keep parts on stock for older models? Seems like these would last for quite a while but may need some upkeep do to the somewhat more vilent discharge of the tool. Maybe I”m missing the mark here.

Thinking of buying one for around the house. Does anyone know if the CF325 fuel cells will hold their charge with limited use? I would only use it a few times a year for special projects and I would not want to waste a fuel cell for just a few nails.

Is this the place to sign up for the Paslode tool contest?

Winning these would literally be the greatest thing that has ever happened to my old house which is desperately in need of repair!
