Cordless Nail Guns

Uses Of A Paslode Nail Gun:

One of the most versatile power tools that you can hire or buy is the cordless gas powered Paslode Nail Gun.

For anyone undertaking a large woodworking job or construction project one of these portable tools can save countless hours of labour time as well as improving efficiently in the workplace by the rapid pace it can carry fixing work out.

There are several different types of paslode nailers designed with primarily first and second fixing tasks of timber.

Most construction builds incorporate a lot of wood and timber framing as well as finishing trim work and occasionally decorative mouldings as well.

Paslode have developed and produced specific fixing guns to tackle these two main tasks. The framing work is taken care of by the renowned IM350 cordless nailer, finishing and trim work by one of two models; the Im65 or Im250.

The Paslode Im350 framing nail gun is a totally portable and self contained fixing tool that can fire nails up to 90mm in capacity in all types of wood including hard, soft, and man made materials.

The IM350 fires nails by way of a high powered hammer action that is driven by an explosive charge of butane gas. The gas is lit inside the nail gun by an electric charge that gets its energy from a rechargeable battery pack.

Nails are stored in the base of the tool and are in a collated paper strip format. The fixing nail size is between 51mm and 90mm, the IM350 is capable of rapid firing at the rate of around two nails per second.

For the builder, landscaper, or joiner on site this allows repeated fast fixing of timber joists, beams, struts, noggins, wooden soffits, rafters, flooring, fencing, and more.

The Paslode Im250 is referred to in the trade as a cordless brad nailer. Utilising the same technology as the large IM350 tool this brad nailer runs off a rechargeable battery also and is powered by it's onboard small disposable canister of butane gas.

Designed with general fixing and trim work the IM250 fires 16 guage brad type fixings in the size range of 19 to 64mm in length. This makes it ideal for fast fastening of skirting boards, architraves, trim strips, window closures, door jambs, light panneling work, and general carpentry tasks.

Like all cordless nail guns the IM250 can be used without the restriction of trailing power cables, air lines, or anything else that can burden the portability of this type of power tool. Gas fired fixing guns are totally self contained and can even be used on house builds and contruction sites where ther is no power source whatsoever, providing their rechargeable battery has a charge inside.
