 Simply cannot compete with a compressor driven nailgun January 15, 2008
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.
 Generally pretty good. January 14, 2008
Rented one from a chain super center (the orange one), and have no regrets. In fact, if I had needed it beyond the one job, I probably would've returned it right away and just bought one. It worked reliably for the day. Battery life was good (not sure if it was fully charged, made it through a few hundred nails over about 8 hours from the time we started working to the time we ended), and was still on the original fuel cell when we finished up.
If you already have an air compressor, you might as well buy a compressed-air nailer. But if you don't, or you're working in a spot where an air compressor would be either really inconvenient or impossible, it's not a bad deal.
The only issue I found was that sometimes, even pressed down all the way, the gun wouldn't fire, no matter how hard the gun was pressed into the wood. Backing off all pressure and pressing the gun all the way down again would generally do it.
 So easy to use January 8, 2008
I bought this for my husband for christmas, He absolutely loves the paslode and it makes things so much easier and faster. Amazon has great prices and great products.I would absolutely recommend this to anyone.

As a contractor by trade, I have nothing but good things to say about this gun. First and foremost, it is the logical replacement to air powered for obvious and already stated reasons: no compressor and hose. It does misfire on occasion but i'm sure it is purely because i have not cleaned or oiled it in 8 years. I know, I know...what a slug. If there is a complaint it is due to Paslode going to primarily all round head nails the last couple of years. The clipped head nails used to drive sure and deep every time. When i switch out the round for some leftover clipped heads, it goes from inconsistent to sure fire every time so it is not my imagination. But, i cannot even buy the clipped head nails anymore from the local Le Depot de Home.
Maybe i'll break down and actually do the required maintenance. It will probably help, huh?
