This tool requires MUCH more effort than it's worth.You have to disassemble the tool for cleaning after each use, which is a pain if you're using the tool on a daily basis. Repeat this another 10 times and you get 1 nail. This involves having to buy and use Paslode's messy, smelly spray cleaner. If you use the tool infrequently, making the issue of cleaning less significant, then you have to deal with expired fuel cells and the constant expense of buying new fuel cells only to throw away the fuel you don't use right away.Whether it's expired fuel cells or some other flaw in Paslode's design, you will at some point experience the incredibly frustrating experience of pushing the tip of the tool against your work piece, hearing the fan kick in, pulling the trigger, and --- nothing. Now that you're significantly frustrated - stop working, take the tool apart, clean it, go to Home Depot and buy new fuel cells, and try again.If you really, really need an airless nail gun, try DeWalt's battery powered nailers - no special cleaner or fuel cells required. Otherwise save yourself the expense and frustration and go with the time tested method of using a pneumatic nailer and an air compressor.
I have tried to get cutomer service to assit me for over one year. If you spend hundreds of dollars and you get a defective item, no help is available after the sale. The company wants to sell the product, however, if you have a problem with your item the company has zero support after the sale. I will never buy or recommend to any one, any product that Paslode sells. The techs that have looked at my nail gun can't figure out why it works for 5 minutes ,then the next time you go to use the gun it will not work. So, before you lose alot of Dollars, buy another product that will have customer support after the sale.
Works very well, even in hard woods. I trimmed a whole house and didn't have one issue with it. Great product.
All the same problems everyone else has had, except after my Paslode refurbishment it began shooting nails out of the bottom of the nail holder (about an inch from the tip of the gun). This is not good at all. I had high hopes for this tool and I really wanted it to work.
However, i went for it and just like the framer, this gun has performed flawlessly. Bought the Paslode Framing and had such success on the job with it, i considered the finish nailer. Thinking that the finish nailer would be great so taht you are not dragging dirty houses through a home, i read the reviews on amazon and was amazed at the number of poor reviews. Make good contact with the workpiece and it is as simple as that. Highly recommended.
