I'm not a contractor framed person--just a DYIer. I got it for cheaper than any surrounding hardware store offered (plus no tax). I bought the Paslode angled finishing nailer from Amazon right before Christmas. I was able to hold a 1X8X10 and nail it simultaneously while on my extension ladder. I have only used it to replace some fascia on the side of my house but it is awesome. I haven't had any jamming problems yet have cycled through a few clips of nails.It is definitely light weight. It definitely takes the complication out of getting that first tack on the board.There is obvious extra expense with fuel cells and cleaners. But that goes with the territory of cordless nailers.I highly recommend this product.
I am a professional window and door installer of many years. They are costing me time on the job. These Paslode tools are a great time saver when working properly, but they really don't care for the cold and are very finicky. Sorry, but these tools needs to work for me and they don't. Last week the angled nailer almost landed in the snow bank due to my frustration.If you need this tool - keep it warm with plenty of reserve fuel cells. I am going to battery power (at least I won't keep throwing away fuel cells) with air back up.
I bought this to put up some tongue and groove pine in a cottage. (I already have the Paslode framing nailer, which is great). The finish nailer is 5 star all the way, it is light and easy to handle, the depth of drive adjustment is dirt simple.so you don't have to go back and counter sink finish nails. It worked right out of the box, just charge up the battery, install a cylinder and nails, and your in business.
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.
