I’ve never looked forward to the end of the month like this!

Only toolmonger could make me happy to see rent day.

Jeff,

I think it’s used to ignite the butane, creating the “combustion” in the internal combustion.

Think cordless spark plug.

Thanks. What is the battery for?

Jeff:

An earlier thread detailed the set being given away, I beleve each comes with a battery, and the set includes one nail & fuel combo box.

If I look at the pictures of these any longer, I’m goping ot have to replace my drool-soaked keyboard.

It doesn’t help that theres a slim chance I might get to have a set. But then again, I could quickly nail together a drool guard, and then the problem would be taken care of!

Does anyone know if these come with any cartridges?

I like Kevin’s line of thinking - the cordless revolution is upon us!

I for one welcome our new cordless overlords.

I soooooo want a set of these. I can already picture the bookshelves I’d break them in building.

I also think the garage needs shelving, so these would get use right off the bat.

Rebecca is so right, a ladder plus a hose equals Petey in a leg cast.

And these look much lighter than strapping the compressor to my back.

I saw some of the guys on DIY using this cordless nailer and wondered how I could get my hands on one. I need something like that to put up some shutters I built for my house but I felt carrying the nailer up a ladder with a hose attached would be somewhat dangerous. I think this little number would be the answer and would continue to be useful in all sorts of projects around my house. I was trying to comprise a list of “to do’s” so that I would only have to attach the compressor once and spend a day doing all the little projects around here. With this tool, I could do them as they come along.

I’m a recent convert to the cult of pneumatic nailers, after years of doing it the old fashioned way. And it’s great so far. I have to say, though, that the idea of cutting the umbilical is even more attractive. At this point I’m about 1/3 of the way through the mostest hugest renovation project I’ll ever attempt - the whole house- and while my air powered nailers are great, I am craving the opportunity to try these things out.

This might just be the tool that gets me off of my butt and building more stuff inside. I hate to take my compressor hose through the house but for smaller stuff like a bookcase or dollhouse, these cordless nail guns would be perfect.

I second Kaiser’s comment - I’m going to end up building a fence soon, and these would be MUCH nicer than the current plan (Say hello to my little friend… Mr. 16oz hammer….)

I also imagine when the Wife get’s a hankering for crown moulding, I won’t want to drag a hose or cord around with the ladder.

And the Orange is just NICE!

I could use the framing nailer. My cordless finish nailer needs are currently being met finely by my DeWalt 18V which I highly recommend.

I inherited a Porter-Cable Bammer from my dad, which is nice — but that thing is HUGE for a finish nailer.. Certainly something a little smaller that can do staples would be very handy for doing the trim in my basement. The framing nailer is certainly a bonus.

A framing nailer would help out on a lot of projects…

The cordless revolution has arrived. I hope I can be part of it. All things Paslode are plausable. Pick me , because I am tired of hoses. And hosers. Paslode rocks when it comes to pro tools.
Ya a bit of lode kissing. However, well worth it for the mac daddy of cordless…..:-)

As an aspiring DIY-er with a new baby on the way and nursery to build, I would use a set like this!

@ aaron says:

Take a look at this fence stapler:

The issue with using either a Paslode cordless or pneumatitc stapler for fencing is th gauge of the staples - which is a bit too fine.

The plug-in gas tanks to these nailers really makes them shine.. What a great idea.

I wish I only had another fence or deck to build..

these would be very handy indeed for putting up wire fences (the sort with a gauge in between chicken wire and chain link). i had to do this manually and the job really sucked. cordless and powered is a sweet combination when you’re outside.

then again, if you’re putting up moulding, it could be a lot of help if you’re up on a ladder too.

We use Paslode nailers for putting crates together outside where we don’t have air. I’d love to have a set of Paslode tools up at camp where we’re off the grid…

Oooh, Pick me, Pick me!

I normally do just a few fasteners at a time doing onsite repair work. These would beat hauling in and firing up a compressor.

Cordless nailer would be very nice to have. I had to pull out the compressor over the weekend to put some finishing nails into a door. I guess it was probably just laziness on my part but it made putting it up a lot quicker and less painful then trying to level, etc then bang one in.
