@@iROBODUDE I have no idea on the cost, but for every 2 boxes of nails + gas we buy an extra fuel cell. So 3 fuel cells is perfect for 2 boxes of nails.
I have the same paslode 30° framer that I bought in 2004 and I still use. It it's a beast of a nail gun, it drives the nails deeper than any electric nailer I've ever seen.
It’s the weight that made me go with the Paslode vs the Milwaukee. It’s amazing how lower weight tools help me be more productive especially towards the end of the day.
I own 3 Paslodes. 2 framing and 1 Brad nailer. If your looking for speed and reliability it's the way to go. I own a home repair company and use them heavily, dropped them off ladders and never had a malfuntion or jam. Keep them oiled and clean the filter and they will last forever.
Excellent video. Bought a Paslode XP framing nailer today, and your vid was a great watch! I bought it for its power and durability, but the weight was really important for me. I'm working on a large, coffered ceiling, and working above my head is going to get old real quick. None of those 10/11 lb framing nailers for me. The Paslode fit the bill and the weight of the tool was a key factor in my purchase.
I just got the older version of this and a trim nailer given to me because they “didn’t work” a good cleaning and new gas and the framer works awesome, the trim nailer is up and running too, I was planning on getting the milwaukee ones but that probable won’t happen now unless the paslodes die for good 😂 I love red but 5 pounds lighter is a big difference at the end of the day
Agree 100% and that’s awesome you got them running. So many people forget to clean air filter or oil the piston or tiny bit of maintenance once in a while!
I had the Milwaukee 30 degree nailer it’s not half the nailer the Paslode is. When fully load and ready to use the Milwaukee weighs a good 5 pounds heavier than the Paslode. Plus the Milwaukee has a over heating problem which was a big inconvenience, I have not yet had that problem with the Paslode.
Paslode is still the most widely used gun in NZ, But in saying that to keep cost down on buying fuelcells, Take the time to use a compressor and air gun if doing lots of framing and subfloor work etc ...
Agree 100% about the weight. 4lb difference is huge by the end of the day/week/job/year/lifetime. Especially if held over your head for any amount of time. Im all for modifying your tools, too. Dont like the heavy spring tension on the belt hanger hook? Take the spring out, or replace with a lighter one. 'Foot' serrations slip on angled shots, file/bend those suckers till they stick. You bought the tool, you have to use it. If you can improve some aspect of it without making it dangerous, i say go for it. Mechanics often have to make/modify tools, i don't see why builders can't do the same. Just don't give someone else a saw you've pryed the safety off of. Or at least, don't let osha see it...
cordless not gas no waste no Emissions and no headaches from the Exhaust But I have owned the Milwaukee's 6 of them for my crew and dumped them to many Failures and warranty issues Water damage from rain yet the 8 Metabo HtP's never had any issues even in -30 temps rain and snow and in LVL HVL and Lams always sunk the nail and they fit in to 16 inch on center and now they have teh extended magazine option ....I love them yes the Pass loads and the old Hitachi Gas nailers where Great and light compact but the Gas and the Head aches caused from the GAS Exhaust I dont miss that ... but all and all 5 years with Metabo htp no issues no failures no jams or miss fires I am impressed with them
I am looking to compare this one with a Ridgid, got the Ridgid and also got a rather large shed project coming up and do not mind buying the passload..I used to have an 18 gauge one but sold it long ago.
I have an old paslode framer from when they were black and made in usa. I got tired of having to change batteries and fuels...seems like I would need one for 20 nails...and then again a week later,..but I would have to change the fuel....and sometimes recharge the batt. Now I use my milwaukee 18 volt for small stuff like that.
Yeah the Milwaukee is nice for a short period of time, but the extra weight gets old especially overhead. I’m thinking they’ll get the weight down in the next gen!
July of 2023 Paslode stopped shipping new fuel cells with the required 90 degree adapter for the pre 2010 guns. Talk about a real F-U surprise if you buy a fuel cell at the store as they have not changed the box to reflect that. I bought the newest model via Lowes on a black friday sale and compared to the Dewalt flywheel type framing guns (I have both of the Dewalt models) it is a rockstar, that $15 every 1000 nails thing does suck but not having an air hose trying to trip you up and kill you with every step when your 2 stories off the ground is totally worth it.
Make sure you check the expiration date on the bottom of the fuel cartridge. I drove home 200 miles from Reno only to find out the fuel cells were expired in May of 2024, 5 months ago ! I bought them at Lowes. Their service is terrible. They wouldn't ship me some fresh replacements. No. It's YOUR PROBLEM ! I'm pretty f#@kin' pissed.
Mine dose not work like that sometimes the nails only go in half way i put new gas in it charged the battery cleaned and oiled it i dont know what else to do
Make sure you check the date code on the can. I think they expire in 18 or 24 months. I can't recall, and it could have changed because they reformulated the fuel to improve cold weather performance. The supplier could have unknowingly sold expired fuel. A new tool and fuel can sit on the shelf for two years. The tool isn't aging but the fuel is. Fuel is like milk, the unopened package doesn't stop it from aging. I don't think most suppliers understand that. They should check their fuel inventory once a year. I don't know if Paslode has a return policy with the stores on unsold expiring fuel. They should look into it. Oh, make sure you're not trying to install the old metering valve type on the can. It won't work. You don't need it. The metering valve is built into the can.
Wow thank you I do light framing and blocking so I think I’ll put up with the gas cartridges. How many nails roughly per gas cartridge, 1000? Also are the nails needed proprietary? Thanks so much!
The weight # 1 The Boot # 2 And the comfort in hand # 3 Would I frame a whole house cordless, no .. but using this to frame a gazebo or basement on the weekend is Amazing!
@@MrGwizyadig I’m curious too, we frame entire houses with Paslode nailers. The gas isn’t that expensive compared to the time savings vs air compressors and hoses or the weight of battery.
My Paslode has been junk from day one. The factory batteries don't seat properly so you're always holding the battery in place with one hand while trying to nail things together. The off brand batteries I got to replace the junk factory ones fit better but still don't function as properly as it should.
Been thinking about filing down/sharpening the tip on my m18 to make it a bit more aggressive. It’s been fine for the most part, but would like it to stick like my other guns
For the price of one M18 + a battery you can get a compressor, all brands from 23 to 16, two staplers crown and T50 and Milwaukee 7200-20 framing - all brand new.
i love my 3 paslode nailer , but i am considering to buy a milwaukee one only to avoid to buy a tons of fuel cell every years , the paslode maintenance is easy to do , i dunno who will do it on the milwaukee one and at what price
Looking to purchase a framing nail to finish my basement and maybe some other house projects would you recommend the paslode for this? The only other tool platform I own is ryobi. Thanks
It might come down to cost if you’re only going to use it a few times, but maybe you could find a used paslode too. The biggest issue with rare use is the gas expires it might be a year or so. If you were using it once a day or week I’d say paslode for sure!
I like that Nailer, But the cost of the "air cartridges" to me makes sense to have a battery powered one. I charge all my Batteries off of Solar, So I only need to spend more money when the battery comes to end of life. if I was not charging them with solar, its still cheaper than the $13 or so for the "air cartridge". I would also rather not have the chance of it exploding either.
Yeah, if you don’t use the framing nailer all day everyday the weight difference of electric might not matter as much. They are very nice and easy to use. I like them and look forward to them getting lighter with technology!
Never tried the dewalt, but the Milwaukee is heavy and doesn’t sink nails into lvl as well as paslode. If someone shows up with a dewalt I’m going to have to try it out!
It is not Paslode nailer it is the quality of the nails . You can nail into lvls and glulam without any issues. Try that with another cordless gun or another nail
They are solid. If maintained with a quick spray of their cleaner and fresh fuel and air filter these things last decades. It takes about 20 drops from a roof to break it. Not that I know from experience:)
@@HuntsWorkshop truth be told, I just bought another one yesterday all because of your review and the comments, used it today and was pretty happy with it
Say you're toe nailing a stud up into a top plate. From 45* you should be 15* closer to vertical, not 15* closer to horizontal. Which means, unfortunately, I think you have the 30* angle "backwards" when laying the magazine against the stud. To use the 30* angle of the nails you'd need to rest the magazine against the plate, which isn't practical.
We always nail the top and bottom of studs through the single plate then add overlapping top plates on. But for framing in openings we go right to the header with 30. Stronger than 90 degree.
i have a im350 i bought new in 2008 . ive made good money out of that gun and its still going now that i found the classic fault on these ...to all who want to know the big red wire that goes in the black box near the trigger comes loose over years of hard work , push it in to where it sits and glue the wire in with good glue and guess what bobs your uncle and fannys going bang bang bang again...and it costs nothing barr skill and glue, i used aradite 2 part ....good luck nail heads !!! pepper it!!!
@@HuntsWorkshopya so framers cant shoot crazy angles bumpin like madmen and make the wood swiss cheese with nail horns sticking out everywhere for drywallers to deal with 😂
It's by a long way the worst tool I have ever purchased. I finally gave up on it 2 years ago. It cost me more in constant repairs due to misfiring than it cost new. Paslode love blaming the customer for not cleaning it. Mine was constantly cleaned and it never worked properly, I have the Milwaukee and the Hikoki and they are far better in terms of power and reliability. No gas no cleaning it just fires nails as it should.
I have the dewalt 3rd gen framing nailer only to go with a bunch of other flexvolt tools. That and it comes in a bit lighter than some of the other battery only options. But still it's a bit of a bitch on the elbow. After a decade or so in the game the smaller ergonomics start to play a bigger roll. Got a new xp on the way and I'm super excited! I love a stick nailer for framing and a coil nailer for sheathing. Having the depth adjustment is a huge plus for back framing where you might switch from nailing 2x to ply which is kinda lacking in the power master (plus pneumatic paslode).

You left out how many nails can you fire on a cartridge. How much does a cartridge cost? How many come in a box/package?

To use this framing gun fuel cell and battery has to b togather in gun or you can use either one at a time ?

Interesting, I didn’t know that! Always used paslode nails though bc they come w a gas cartridge.
Paslode nails are far superior to senco or other cheaper brands, and the nail racks don’t break in your nail bag.
good gun
They are solid. If maintained with a quick spray of their cleaner and fresh fuel and air filter these things last decades. It takes about 20 drops from a roof to break it. Not that I know from experience:)

Looks like you have not tried the fuel Milwaukee
Need side to side comparison with other tools
Project Farm
doesiti need oiling like corded units. Where does the oil drop go
No daily oil like pneumatic, but when you clean air filter once a year you spray oil in the cylinder.
Oil is in the fuel canister .
These paslode can work on concrete?
No, concrete requires a ram set. That uses gun powder, not fuel.
Is it okay that the nail split the stud @ 5:14?
That’s pretty common on an edge toenail, even hand nailing.
Any experience refilling gas cartridges?
I’ve never tried that, they come with the nails on our trucks.
