Paslode cordless finish nail guns are great gift ideas for the craftsman

Every Craftsman I know is a woodworker at heart. Building bookcases, kitchen cabinets and closet organizers, they are always building something that requires the use of some kind of power tools. Compound miter saws, sanders and even angled finish nail guns, are among the more commonly used power tools used by the Craftsman or Handyman. The inconvenient thing about most pneumatic nail guns, they require an air compressor to power the thing, and an air hose connecting the two. However, there is a better tool for the job. The Paslode cordless nail gun does not require a compressor, air hose or an electric cord to operate. Continue reading this article to learn more about the Paslode cordless nail gun.

Many moons ago, the only way a Craftsman had to nail finish trim or moldings onto a woodworking project, was to use a Carpenter’s finish hammer, finish nail and nail set. Then with the advent of the portable air compressor, pneumatic nail guns gained in popularity. The trouble with those pneumatic tools they require an air compressor and everything that goes along with it.

The electric motor and its cord, and in some cases, a gasoline engine, both make a lot of noise, just to power the air compressor. Let us not forget, the air hose running from the compressor to the nail gun getting under foot and creating a trip hazard. Adding to the inconvenience, all this stuff cost a lot of money, the pneumatic nailers and air compressors sometimes take as much time to set-up as they could possibly save a Craftsman, Handyman or do it yourselfer when completing a small job.

The Paslode Cordless (Impulse) Nail Gun takes a different approach. The Paslode Cordless 16-gage Angled Finish Nailers,rather than using an air compressor to operate the tool, the Impulse nail gun uses a combination of a rechargeable battery, much as the one used in a cordless flashlight, and a fuel cell, like the ones used in a butane barbecue charcoal grill lighter.

The battery will provide the power to drive 4000 fasteners on a full charge, while a single fuel cell will provide the power necessary to drive 1,200 1½ - 2½ inch fasteners in any hardwood trim pieces, moldings or framing materials.

The only problem, if you want to call it a problem,

Is that the fuel cells have an expiration date on them. Using the fuel cell after its expiration date has passed; the tool will not work well. Replacing outdated fuel cells with fresh ones eliminates any problems before they happen.

The Impulse cordless angle finish nail guns come complete with a rechargeable battery, battery charger, rugged carrying case that has storage compartments inside it for storing fuel and fasteners. As an added bonus, the case includes a 9/64 inch hex wrench, extra no-mar tips, safety glasses, and cleaning guide complete with step-by-step cleaning and operating instructions.
