Paslode Cordless XP Framing Nailer Review
The folks at Paslode have redesigned their cordless framing nailer and fuel to provide increase power and performance in cold weather fastening applications.
As a regular user of the Paslode cordless nailer I can attest to the sometimes-sluggish performance in the winter. Often times I would have to warm the nailer indoors or in my truck while driving to a job site. That’s no fun, trust me.
Better Tool and Fuel
The Paslode Cordless XP Framing Nailer CF325XP now combines forces with a new fuel formula that delivers effective performance down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
I’ve always loved the portability aspect of these nailers, freeing oneself from the air hose tether is a nice thing.
My favorite features of this nailer were covered in this tool review.
A few highlights are;
- Li-ion battery that provides the power to install 9,000 nails per charge.
- The ability to reach a full battery charge in 1-hour and the;
- 2-minute Quick Charge for Up to 200 shots
- Lightweight, durable design. This nailer weighs 7.2 lbs.
