Paslode 902600 CF325Li Lithium Ion Cordless Framing Nailer

I just got this gun and at first I was intimidated by it. Finally I got the nerve to try it yesterday and I have to tell you I love the thing. I make things but I'm no pro at framing. My husband calls my attempts to build things "cobbling". But I need a number of small buildings and the cost to buy them was too high compared to the cost of buying materials. I decided to start with a small goat shelter to gain confidence and experience. I got this gun in order to make my "cobbling" more successful and faster. I have to admit that I'm more talented using it than I was with just a hammer and nails or with screws and a drill. I think this may be the best investment I've made in a tool in a long LONG time. Right now I'd rank it right up there in the "must have" basic categories along with hammers and screwdrivers. Better get it, you won't be sorry.

This Paslode Framing gun works 100x better and easier than my air nailers for a quick job that needs to be done. Now I still primarily use my air nailers for large jobs such as structure builds, but I could use the Paslode too if it came down to it. I was unsure of how the 902600 would hold up mainly because it looked like a toy (it is not and do not give to your kids !) but I am extremely impressed ! The Amazon sellers to not state this but on the Paslode we-site it does state that it is not intended for large lumber pressure treated wood such as decking 10x2 and so on. I will admit I did cheat and used it for a few areas on decking and did not have an issue but you do want to go on their site and read all disclaimers and also the user manual fully. Also after using a few times take it apart and oil it fully, it will work allot better from that point on. I don't think they come from the manufacturer properly oiled all the way. Following that you can go a long while depending on use before you have to oil it again.

This baby really can slam in the nails! I get the nails and gas cartridge combo which is pretty convenient to use. The cartridge really does last through the box. Recovery time is fast. I never had to wait on the gun to fire a nail. Great penetration.pros:Drives nails with no problemEasy load of nails and cartridgesFits into fairly tight spots. Seems a little better than my air nailer.NO HOSES! NO COMPRESSOR!Cons:Have some trouble with the battery sliding mechanism you have to use to turn it off. Very stiff.heavier than the air nailerSeems pretty loud, but I kind of like it.The vent fan that exhausts the chamber after firing is not quiet.Overall, a would recommend it to someone who needed the convinience and did not have a good compressor. It is not easily to rationalize the price though.

One word, "Incredible". I worked my first custom home framing job in 1979. I can truly say I have carpentry and construction in my blood. Back then we framed by hand and since the old days I have always used pneumatic air nail guns for framing and finish work. in 1986-87 Paslode came out with their first compressor-less/cordless gas nailer (the Impulse) and we rolled our eyes and didn't pay no mind.Well I just received this new 325Li for Christmas (2014) from my wife and its remarkable. I've only used this gun for one project so far and I'm totally sold. The first two boxes of nails (2000 shots) went without a hitch. Its a durable well made tool that is perfect for small jobs, remodels. punch-list work and large jobs too but you have to consider the slightly higher price for fuel and nails. All I can say its durable. easy to pack around and convenient, and most of all, No more packing a compressor around for me anymore.I highly recommend the 325Li nail gun, and personally I am going to now have to purchase the Finish Nailer next!

I just purchased this nailer and it is due to arrive today. I had the previous model and I loved it. I used it on a deck in the back of my house and it worked flawless. From past reviews from the pros on the web I had to have one. I hired a pro to help finish the deck off and he loved it. He instantly saw the advantage of not hauling a compressor and hose around with a generator for the outback jobs. After we finished the project I gave to him for a bonus. That was 2 years ago and he is still using it today. Since then I added another smaller deck on the front of the house and after swinging a hammer I decided to buy another one for the next project. Cant wait to use it and Ill think Ill keep this one.

My husband has been using a Paslode cordless framing hammer for years. He won’t hardly use a corded any longer. The convenience of not having cords and not having to use an air compressor is worth the price of a Paslode. His old one quit working after he has had trouble with it off and on for the last 2 years. He finally took the plunge and got this new Paslode. This one has Li-ion battery instead of the old batteries. The fuel cells are also different now, having an adapter.We ordered from Amazon because it was cheaper than the big box local stores. I checked the models numbers listed to make sure that this was the latest version. This is the CF325Li.Couldn’t be happier with the purchase. We ordered from the seller, FastenerSource and received the package in 3 days just as described.

I've wanted one of these for a long time, finally broke down and bought one. I LOVE IT! I have the Paslode pinner, have used it for about 3 years now and I love it too. Very well made and very convenient with no cords or compressor. I've been through several air powered framing guns, all which have eventually failed. Started off years ago when the Senco framer was about $700 ( yea years ago) That thing was famous for firing 2 nails at once. The Stanley Bostich leaked so much air, my compressor ran all the time. Had a few cheaper one also... not worth the money. Have a feeling this one's going to be my all time favorite.
