i recently bought this paslode to update my old senco nailer i had from 10 years ago. what an investment! i do have one question though Tim. Does the flashing green light refer to the battery life?

[AsktheBuilder]

@pilotdude1123 On mine it does.

Hey Tim!.. as a professional carpenter I have been using the impulse nailers for quite some time now and I do love them...I use my 16 gauge for door jamb and was using for casing and base too.....BUT THEN! lol paslode came out with the pneumatic '' micro pin nailer ''have you seen these?.. they are great and best of all - no nail holes to fill! check em out on line... hope this was helpfull

Yes. The pin nailer was used in my kitchen remodel on all the fine trim moldings.

we have paslode impulse nailers at work (framing nailers (31/4") and finishing nailers (16ga.)) at work.. lol but when you said another quality installation, you could see how ugly your nailing pattern was, lol it looked like a constellation, and i know you can fill it with stainable woodfiller or DAP caulking, but thats time consuming, and wastes money. not to be nit-picky.

Thanks for your comment. That demonstration is called a Hollywood demo in the video industry to show the gun in action. Yes, too many nails in one place, but it was for effect. Doubtful anyone would do that in their home.

lol small jobs and big jobs

i have the passload cordless angled finish nailer that i use alot for trim. i bought it for $200 but it was a rebuild. works great and is very handy and dont have to wait for a compressor to fill up for small jobs.

fantastic... I like to keep that psi pressure cranked up to at least 100 - under 90 I find the pin sits above a concealed depth...wonder if you have experienced that?...also wanted to share that Makita makes a cordless pin nailer... although I have not seen them on the shelves here in Toronto as of yet...I will share the results of the Makita once I get my hands on one... cheers Tim!
