Yeah, instead you get additional noise, additional maintenance, tanks that rust, and hoses to trip on. Paslode in theory is the way to go, TO sings their praises for a reason I’m sure.
Is that the lithium Paslode nailer Toronto?
Yes sir its a beast.so goodDR99 wrote:

I use pnuematic everyday at my job and i love the hitachi coil nailer but something about the paslode i love maybe because its my personal and i work i use my bosses guns but the paslode holds its on in the nailer department thatd for sure best cordless you can get in my opinionPROTOOLNUT wrote:
Well air powered nailers still have their place as they are better then battery operated ones, and at least with conmpressors you dont have to spend 30 bucks for nails and charge. But at least from what I hear, Pasload can kick some serious booty on them projects where you need cordless but POWER HAHAHAHAHAHA 😀

I haven’t really followed the nailer market. Are the cordless/horseless nailers basically just for framing or roofing? I would thing they’d be pretty bulky for finish nailers?
Theres different nailers there framing,roofing,finishing all different types and for each there is cordless and ones with hoses and compressors and they all take the specific nails for the trades thats using it and even with framing therr is coil framing nailers and stick framing nailersBK13 wrote:

How are the paslode pneumatic guns? I’m in the market for a 16 guage nailer.

How is the reliability Toronto? Had one years ago and it would malfunction constantly. I have to believe they worked all the bugs out by now.
I never used any of there finish nailerz but the pneumatic framing nailer is nice good weight and all around solid gunkruton wrote:

For a different option, A carpenter buddy of mine uses Cadex guns and the few times I have used them on a job they have been super nice.. when my pneumatic bostitch finish guns go I will probably replace them with Cadex
Yeah I am new to the world of pneumatic nailers so I am open to any suggestions. I habe seen the Cadex and thought about checking them out. For a DIY guy I’m thinking the 16 guage should be capable of doing everything I need too. Any thoughts there?

I love my Paslode pneumatic framing nailer, I always wanted to get the cordless one but don’t use a framing nailer much. Is only having one strip of nails a pain always reloading or you don’t even notice it??
Paslode pneumatic anything is the way to go! Their tools are solid, fast, reliable. I have a few of f350’s, 1/2 crown stapler, 1″ crown stapler, and the positive placement nailer. In Wisconsin and Illinois paslode definitely runs every jobsite I’ve seen.
^ and for good reason
I love my Paslode framer and angled finish nailer, have both of them for almost 14 years, great tools.. I also have a Porter Cable Pneumatic angled stick nailer wich is a Freaking Beast!!!!! I don’t use them everyday but I love them alll….
I’m looking at the paslode pneumatic 16 gauge finish nailers. Is it worth the extra money to get the angled gun over the straight? I am leaning toward the angled gun just since it should be able to get in a little tighter areas.MikeyB wrote:

Go angled if you can for that same reason getting into tight spots and if you ever do crown molding its a must.

I run a Paslode F350S had it for about 8 years and no problems, what nails are you using I use Paslode but there expensive but well worth it.
Crown molding will be the bulk of what I do so that pretty much answers my question. Thanks.Justin Hernandez wrote:

Glad to help Kruton
I typically use the paslode or pneu-fast brand nails. It usually depends on what’s on sale.
I like the paslode nails because they offer a full head nail, sometimes it looks better I guess for exposed plywood or interior framing. I haven’t found a holding power difference vs the clipped head.
However the pneu-fast nails are the cats meow for a few reasons. The glue on their nails is incredible. If I have to take something apart I get pretty frustrated, because it’s not as easy as with the paslode nails. It usually involves the sawzall with a thin kerf metal blade. Also the pneu-fast nails have a larger nail diameter in the 2 3/8 variety (.120 or .131) which holds plywood a little better verses the paslodes .113.
However the pneu-fast nails take a bit more power to drive. Usually around 120psi (versus 100psi w/ paslode nails) but they hold a lot better IMO. My guess is that they’d be a PIA to drive in any cordless framing gun.
Haha sorry to ramble but just wanted to share my experiences!
FYI the only place I found that carries the pneu-fast nails in stock is menards.
Never heard of that company shipping might cost to much and theres no Menards here. I can only get Paslode nails which are the best IMO I see a lot of so called galvanized nails rot out. The price of the nails is why a lot of people don’t buy Paslode nail guns there really missing out. They just buy other brand’s and than there fence broads fall off in a few years because of rotten nails. No worries about rambling I love arguing about the Paslode nails with everyone I just wish they can reduce the price of there nails without sacrificing quality. It would really benefit there corporation and a lot more people would consider buying there nail guns
Paslode makes great guns the biggest argument i find people try to say on why.not to buy the gun is the gas…. lol but i think thats a fail of a reason not to buy such an amazing cordless framing nailer in my opinion for ex. last week i got a box of 500 nails pluss 3 gas cartridge for 60$ usually the box of nails comes with the gas anyway so unless you buy the nails and gas on there own its really not a big expenseJustin Hernandez wrote:

And to be honest.my paslode is my at home gun or for side jobs i dont use it for work so for me im not going threw gas cartridge after gas cartridge

I was talking about the pneumatic Paslode but it still applies to the gas version you also save about 30 mins of labor on tear down and start up without using a compressor everyday
Yea dude compressor clean up blows
Usually got a 50′ #12 or 14 cord
150′ of airline
The compressor itself
I’d say easy 20-30 min clean up if you like to warp everything up like a white guy so it’s tangle free in the AM!
Its even worse when you have a gas compressor always putting gas and having to keep checking the oil plus keeping up with the maintenance
Psh at least the bitch has got wheels! I auctally like maintaining equipment and changing oil. It’s not a big deal once a year. And most compressors have the Honda gx series engines, I like to call mine “1 pull Betty” Hahahha
I don’t mine working on equipment, I just hate when people beat the crap out of things and then bring it to me and tell me its broken. The worst part is trying to get Betty’s heavy ass back in the truck..lol
Haha I know right!
Betty’s a big girl that’s for sure. I can load my Dewalt gasser by myself but it’s always easier with someone else.
And yea I know what you mean about someone bringing something to you to fix after its to late… It’s like their afraid someones gonna accuse them of breaking it.. When most of the time something catastrophic could have been prevented!
