Eric,
You say this is the best cordless nailer on the market… does that include the paslode guns that have gas?
The Paslode is great and used it for many years. However, I do like Milwaukee much better. With the Paslode, the gas expires which means if it’s old or I run out, I have to run to the store, plus it’s another expense. If it’s cold outside, the Paslode has a hard time operating while the Milwaukee doesn’t. Bottom line, I was a huge fan of the Paslode and still like them. However, with battery-only nailers coming out, Paslode hasn’t adapted. When it comes to true battery-only framing nailers, the only two that beat the Paslode are the Metabo and the Milwaukee for speed, reliability, and consistency. I think Paslode beats the rest of the battery only framing nailers on the market.
Eric, Here we go. I looked at this gun several times before purchasing, deciding wether to buy it. I use to have the Milwaukee pneumatic one and liked it because it held 2 rows of nails and it was lite weight . My friend wanted it since I was not using it, so sold it to him. Regretted doing so because I needed one later but wanted a cordless nailer, tired of dragging around hose and compressor . I had a 200ft fence to install so I bought this nailer , loved it. It is extremely heavy compared to the pneumatic one, and it only holds 1 row of nails. They do make a longer nail holder but there is no way I would be able to use it, just to heavy. Out of 250 boards I installed NOT one time did it jammed , miss nail or give any trouble, worked like a charm. Thats 1500 nails shot into the fence and it did great!
