Summary: Solid performance, easy to use, exceeded my expectations
Comment: I bought this framing nailer for a small (12x16) cabin we were building in the Adirondaks. Since we had to haul everything up to the site the lack of need for compressor and airhoses was attractive. I am a good rough carpenter but not a professional. I had never used a power nailer before.
We used the framing nailer for about 5000 nails over a two-week period and had only one jam, easily cleared. It was extremely reliable and had sufficient power for all our purposes. Some of the complaints about the speed of nailing were not an issue for us since we aren't a high-speed operation. There was no point at which the rapidity of firing was a problem for us. Toe-nailing was a bit of an issue but it was mainly a matter of getting used to aiming the thing to put the nail where you want it to go. Once I had the hang of it I really liked toenailing with the framing hammer.
I liked the fact that the wood would not move when nailing or toenailing. The Paslode nails worked flawlessly, didn't try any other brand. I had no problem with the depth of the nails. Any need to change the depth was easily adjusted. No problem with misfiring. The belt hook and rafter hook was extremely useful. Great feature. Liked the safety of the fact that it would not fire until the tip was depressed and then the trigger pulled in sequence. If you hold the trigger down and depress the tip it won't fire. We had no accidental firing. Cleaning after the two weeks took about ten minutes and the instructions were very explicit.
I am very happy with this tool.

Summary: Buyer Beware of Altitude
Comment: Let the Buyer Beware: It is not obvious until you receive your Paslode nailer that it is not to be used above 4500 ft (according to technical support) and the box says 5000 ft. We live in Colorado at 7500 feet and of course the gun is Dead ON Arrival - no fault to the gun. And then you can't return it for a refund because it runs on gas ... so let's just say that this was a VERY disappointing purchase from Amazon, who should be able to state very clearly the limitations of every product sold.
My Bad - but a nice gift for someone near sea level....

Summary: Wish I bought it earlier...
Comment: Just finished a shed project with this nailer... I wished I had bought it earlier! In a previous shed project, I've used a power actuated hammer (the one that fires the .22 blanks) to put hardened (expensive) nails into concrete block (the wall along the side of the shed is a 6' concrete block wall to which I attached the shed). On this project, I was able to use the Paslode nailer to do the same job much more quickly and I used the common framing nails (which drove straight and true thru the 2x4's and into the concrete block. I love using my P&C brad/finish nailers, but I need to drag around the compressor. With the Paslode, I just grab the case (very light weight) and go. Saves time, saves money. Can't get much better than that.

Summary: Great for my project
Comment: So far this nailer has worked out great.
I'ver never used a framing nailer before, so I have nothing to compare it to. Im currently framing some new partition walls in my basement and I plan on adding some additonal decking outside.
The only thing feature that hasn't lived up to its specs is the amount of nails that it will drive on one fuel cell. It seems like it has only driven a little more than half the amount stated. However, I'm not disappointed because the fuel cells are inexpensive enough.
I highly recommend it to any noncontractor that has a relatively light use for a framiung nailer. The cost to buy it makes more sense than renting a nailer and a compressor for more than a few days. Especially if you may have a future use for it.

Summary: Simply cannot compete with a compressor driven nailgun
Comment: Not nearly as fast or powerful as a regular nailgun. It leaves nails sitting proud when firing into engineered wood or old old-growth framing, like we have so much of here in San Francisco. At certain angles (toe nailing)the Paslode is frustratingly hard to fire. Depending on the angle, I sometimes have to press with two hands, which is far from convenient. It sometimes will move the stud that I am trying to nail because I have to press so hard to actuate the thing.
I own this gun and the Paslode angled finish nailer. The finish nailer is one of the best tools ever invented, the framing nailer leaves a bit to be desired for commercial work.
On the upside, it seems to be very durable, and I'm happy with the performance of the batteries and the fuel cells. It just doesn't have the power, speed or finesse of a regular nailer. Portability is its main feature.
Who knows? Maybe the one that I own is bunk, because the majority of reviewers here-and there are a lot of them-seem to love it.

Great for light framing--remodeling, especially--this Impulse cordless framing nailer from Paslode lets you avoid the hassle of compressor hoses and compressor noise. The nailer's small, 12-inch-long, lightweight body (6.9 pounds) is easy to hold and, because you're not dragging a hose, doesn't cause as much arm fatigue as other nailers. The nailer drives 2- to 3-1/4-inch nails and has easy-to-adjust drive depth and a high-visibility load magazine. This Paslode nailer uses a patented system that requires both a fuel cell and an included rechargeable battery. Overall, we were impressed with the nailer's performance--it's consistent and there's adequate power for most uses. This model shoots up to 1,200 nails on a single fuel cell and up to 4,000 nails on a full battery charge. There's a convenient belt hanger so you don't have to lay the nailer on the ground or on top of a ladder or wedge it among rafters, and the high-visibility orange makes it difficult to misplace. The kit includes a plastic carrying case, a lightweight charger, and safety goggles. Please note that the nailer does not come with the fuel cell included. --Jonathon Tudor
