Gas / Cordless Framing Nailer Head-2-Head

The Tool Box Buzz crew assembled in Concord, MA to assess four gas powered nailers and one cordless framing nailer. Ambient temperatures during testing were roughly 20F and equipment was left out overnight to simulate standard field conditions. Framing equipment is often stored overnight in unconditioned spaces, or outdoors in weatherproof jobsite boxes.

Comparisons do not get much better than this sir with your combination of in depth article with text and graphs as well as video footage and discussion to highlight the nuances.

Thank you for taking the time to film, investigate and provide this footage for free!

Much appreciated. Watching from the UK, thumbs up.

Dude, you knocked the video through the wall. Thank you for your dedication to great information.

he is hands down the best guy to review tools i think, i would be honored if was a tool brand and he gave my tool a good review. like what he said about the paslode nailer only using that size nail, which causes a domino effect of issues. Thats how deep the engineering should be thinking when trying to make the best product. i do appliance installation and there are soo many complications that dont even get seen, and you have to scratch your head and say "how could they not think of this? HOW?"

I love this channel for no BS honest reviews. No favoritism to any brand. It is 4 year old video that means every brand got better and there is more competition.

Fantastic review on nail guns. As a carpenter in Ireland I can't appreciate the usefulness of a gun. And I can happily say I am the owner of four paslode nail guns. Great job guys, subscribed.

Your Head-2-Heads are the best part of TBB! I suggest doing an updated Head-to-Head for cordless battery-operated framing nailers since DeWalt has an updated design and Milwaukee has entered the market. Looking forward to it!

My Paslode is over 15 years old and is still hanging in there. It’s not used every day but it’ll do a full day framing with very few misfires. Great bit of kit. Seeing this video made me realise I dont need to upgrade. Cheers for the review

What an absolute phenomenal video you and your team have created here. Hats off to you.

This should have way more than 30k views worldwide for a 3 month video - consider adding some more words that users may search for in the video title to get it to pop up on a few more searches.

Thanks a lot for all the in depth info and description you have given here.

Excellent discussion @10:56 regarding the Paslode 3.25 x .131 nails and the ESR-1539 report. I am considering the Paslode nailer, but was unsure how to handle the lack of 3.5 nails. It is very helpful to know that there is a solution to this limitation. I think I could also use an educational video describing the contents / results of the ESR-1539. Thanks again.

Dewalt and Bostitch are owned by Stanley Black and Decker. Within the last couple of years the assembly of numerous Dewalt tools was moved from Mexico to Greenfield Indiana.

I would love to see an updated version of this test with the new players in the game. Particularly the Hikoki gasless nailer. Great review.

I've been using Paslode for years, along with my co-workers and they are hard to beat. I am still on my original framing and finish nailer, neither has failed me yet.

[incacondor]

thanks for sharing. I'm currently in the market for a cordless nailer and because of this information I think I'm staying put and probably go with a pneumatic type for now. I'll wait until current models are redesigned.

[Sardonic]

this is VERY well done informative video. It's really appreciated taking the time to do a thorough comparison like this. You covered ALL the area's and answered basically any questions we would have with great presentation and production quality. Pro level. Again, really appreciated. I'm tied into dewalt products so probably will just pull the trigger on the dewalt, the bump fire feature looks INSANE! So fast.

You sir, should be anchoring the 6pm evening news. Just the damn facts! No spin! THANKS!!

[cliffysummers]

I owned the paslode and the dewalt, after winter use in Canada and being sick of buying gas canisters, i sold the paslode. the big reason i love the dewalt is the bump trigger when reaching out in awkward positions where it is nearly impossible to reach out and depress the tip and hold gun.

Pulling the es report! Love it!!
As a building inspector, it's nice to see guys know what those are. Every time I mention them, guys are confused. 😢

[gordthor]

Passload was making these cordless framing nailers 25 years ago, so it is no surprise they know what they are doing by now.

A Concord Carpenter....Best in the Business!!! Thanks again!

My crew's standard is the Metabo HPT/Hitachi nailer but we have a paslode cordless and it"s the only cordless we use. Our other nailer is a Ridgid pneumatic that we keep around just for it's crazy power for use with LVL beam assembly.
