Just when my wife thought I was done building add-ons… these toys will really get me jumpstarted again.

I purcashed a 16 gauge angled finish nailer and a 30 degree framing nailer from Home Depot Center because of thier easy return policy. No returns on these babies. Totally awesome. Unlike many of the other once top quality tools on the market which are now being built abroad, Passlode. are built in the USA .Therefore top quality and needless to say, keeping Americans employed during our unfortunate recession. Passlode is the Harley Davidsons of the tool industry…

My first experience with my framing nailer was a blast. I unloaded all the firewood from a friends wood rack and restacked them. Only to blister a 3″ ring shank nail into each one until completely restacked and nailed together. Needless to say,, he was not very happy when he went to burn some wood. I have had the battery in the gun since May and have shot around 1,500 nails to date without recharging. At first I was skeptical of toe-nailing performance. No problem… All my friends ask to borrow it, even if all they need to do is drive a few nails…

I just finished trimming a 2,000 sq ft home with finish nailer .. It was flawless, light weight and comfortable grip. Both these guns have the no-fire safety feature. Unlike many other brands, when you fail to note the easy to read scale for loaded fasteners, the guns will not dry fire and put holes in the wood…The cases are rugged and will take a beating. They have nice storage slots where the battery and fuel cells snap into and secure firmly. Best of all, no compressor or hoses needed… Novice uses should note: use proper fasteners for the appropiate nailer. angled nailer does fire straiht fasteners…
My sons plan on building luxury hunting stands this year with them..Hmmm
Next project is helping my sister complete new construction on her home. Without doubt… my Passlode nailers will be toting most of the load… what more can I say… I love my Passlode nailers….Good luck to all and may God nless each and every one of you…..

Izrun, I felt the same way when I got my first impact wrench. Suddenly all fasteners looked like they really needed the 600 ft/lbs of nut busting torque!

I’d love to have the same problem with these tools. I’m sure I could find plenty of stuff to nail, starting with some trim work I’ve been meaning to fix.

Izrun, you are so right. I think my first project with a good nailer will end up being more nail than wood.

“Ker-CHUNK!” ahhh… something viscerally satisfying about firing off power tools.

Non-outsourced fence rebuild FTW!!

Can I have one? I have a project coming up that needs lots of trim being placed.

Has anyone else noticed that once they got their first nailer suddenly everything looked like it could be fixed with a nail. I was nailing together frames, using it for clamping, heck, pretty much any project that I don’t care how it looks has at least 20 nails in it. I used to like using it just so I could hear that pler-chunk sound. Made me feel like a real handyman.

Man, I could really use these. I swear my pitiful harbour freight air compressor is on it’s last legs. I was using it to run my friend’s borrowed framing nailer. It would give me three nails between recharges. Yikes.

I’m running out of comment ideas, but still want to win this.

Paslode always makes me think of ‘pasplode’ - the word my grade school chum used instead of explode.

I guess they DO explode in a tiny, controlled sense.

These would definately free up some space in my truck as I wouldn’t have to haul around a compressor and hoses for a lot of jobs.

Shaun, what kind of house?

If it’s larger than one room, I imagine a framing nailer would be a fraction of the budget, and well worth the saved time and hassle.

Or are you of the same mind I am - “I’ve got something that works, and I’m not replacing it until it’s dead”

If I win, i will do the best Chris Grundy imitation ever !

I wonder if I can find a holster for these nail guns.

Thanks toolmonger for the opportunity!

I remember the first time I saw one of the Paslode tools - I kept looking for the hose! Carrying spare fuel cells would certainly be easier than a compressor or batteries for the cordless variety.

My Dad has an older copy of the framing nailer. It is awesome. It just keeps nailing and nailing and nailing. I’m getting ready to build a house and one of these would come in real handy.
Thanks

Man, winning the Paslode tools would let me finally dump my Harbor Freight guns. Besides, everyone can use extra “hammers” anyways!

Our church has a bunch of trim we need to put up - at 20′ above the ground. I would love to have these to use on that rather than anything with a hose.

y’know, I’d buy them, but the black and orange color scheme just clashes terribly with the greens and blues of my Hitachis and Makitas…

Of course, if they were free, then I could afford to get them repainted.

(yes, I’m joking)

These would be incredible for a number of finishing projects for my house. I’m just imagining how easy it would be to crown molding and built-ins.

I would love to own the cordless nailers. I do not think the shelf life of the canisters would be a big deal. the abiity to take them anywhere without a compressor still makes the nailers a want for me. Either way I will continue saving money for them.

I love the site and learn a great deal from it. Good luck to us all.
