It is especially impressive when you're climbing up and down a ladder not to have to watch out for a hose. I bought this nailer last fall to install tongue and groove paneling. I'm a beginner with home improvement, and what sold me on this nailer was borrowing one to try first and then the recommendation of the carpenters who remodeled my kitchen. I can't say enough good things about it. I have had no trouble using it other than a couple of nail jams, which were easy enough to remove from the gun once I read the instructions. One of them told me he didn't know how he could work without his Paslode. I narrowed it down to the paslode or a combo compressor/nailer kit for about the same money, and I'm glad I chose the cordless Paslode.
Jams constantly, (with new fuel cell) and always when nails get to the end, Impossible to nail with the last 10 or so nails. Usually corrected by removing remaining nails and reloading with a full set.Jam can take, sometimes 15 minutes to clear nails from magazine.
I've got this nail gun from Amazon in just 4 days, this gun will drive 2 1/2 inches nail into hardwood so easy,light weight,great tool and unbeatable price from Amazon. Thanks Amazon for the great services. I would come back for my future purchase.
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.
