Paslode's gas-powered nailers offer the power of pneumatics with the convenience and portability of a good old hammer. There's no compressor to haul out of your truck and into the job site, no hoses to connect and no electric power needed. Just pop in the propane gas canister and go!

This ultra-light nailer is an upgrade from the 16-gauge version and packs quite a punch despite weighing just 4.9 lbs. It’s capable of driving nails from 5/8-inch all the way up to 2-inches! The 901000 also is very easy to manipulate, thanks to a depth of drive feature that doesn’t require a wrench to adjust. And, your project should come out looking clean as a whistle because the tip is designed not to mar the wood. This tool is the ultimate merger of power and finesse, enabling you to finish off projects like molding, spindles, window casings, and more with a delicate touch.

The Paslode story
Paslode, a division of Illinois Tool Works (ITW), is a leading manufacturer and marketer of cordless and pneumatic fastening systems for construction, remodeling and industrial applications. Founded in 1935 by industrialist J.W. Leslie, Paslode introduced the very first pneumatic tool -- a light duty upholstery tacker -- in 1959. Shortly thereafter, Paslode produced the first commercially accepted pneumatic nailer, The Gun-Nailer, providing the construction industry with a cost efficient way to increase productivity and reduce worker fatigue. Since then, Paslode has expanded its product lineup to include a comprehensive selection of pneumatic and cordless nail guns, staplers, fasteners, and more.

Great Gun For Any Job
I've had mine for about a year and I love this gun. It's so much easier to grab this out of the backseat of my truck and start nailing than it is to grab a pneumatic gun, the compressor, the hose, finding an outlet and tripping over the hose as I'm trying to nail with it. For a small job you can be in and out with this gun before you even get the compressor set up. As long as you keep the gun lubed and clean you will rarely have a problem with it. I use mine for trim, woodworking and finish work with great results. In fact, I haven't used a pneumatic brad nailer since I got this, and I have 3 brad nailers that are collecting dust because of this gun. I've used different brands of nails and they all seem to work well. At the price this gun may not be for everyone, But everyone that uses it will want one

Not bad but not great
i have used one of these for a few years and it has been a real time saver. beats seting up a compressor even on midsize jobs.
pros.
-power to sink nails in to hardwood. (i work with alot of oak)
-lots of shots to battery and gas
-belt clip is handy (clips on most step ladder stays)
Cons.
-loud
-not angled
-very tempermental
-must be cleaned atleast once daily maybe more if you are shoting alot.
-gas is not cheap AND HAS A SHELF LIFE. if you cant use a box in less then a year or it had been sitting on the shelf at the store for awhile it will go bad cusing misfires. CHECK THE DATE ON THE PACKAGE(or canister)
-aside from gas and nails you need to buy paslode brand cleaner spray and oil

OK- Better than its framer brother
I'll get right to the pros and cons.

Pros-
Obviously, convenience- sometimes you don't need to lug in a whole compressor setup for just handyman type work.
Good Case.

Cons & Problems-

This thing misfires just like the other Paslode Cordless guns, but not as bad as the framing gun.
Gas intake valves have been faulty twice (My company owns three of these suckers) - a 50 Dollar repair.
The driving pin gets constantly stuck, even with constant care and lubrication.
The tip mecanism broke off completely on one gun.
During heavy construction usage, battery charger A/C unit is easily compromised. (The power conection is weak)

In general, it's good to have around in a pinch, but don't count on it to do any serious work, you'll end up costing yourself more time, money, and frustration.

Note: The newest model of 18 gauge has seemed more solid and reliable, I've only used it a handful of times, but time will tell.
