Cordless Framing Nailer
- BUILDER Online (2/24/2008)
- The latest version of Paslode's cordless framing nailer includes a number of user-friendly improvements and additions. The CF-325's redesigned, more aggressive nosepiece allows for toe-nailing at any angle, while re-engineering provides for faster firing. The company has revamped the fuel system, too, with a canister that drops right in with no pre-use snapping, twisting, and aligning required. The fuel system and internal steel O-rings allow the nailer to last five times longer between cleaning than previous models, says the maker. Finally, the company is unveiling a Fuel + Nail Combo Pack System that packages fuel cartridges and RounDrive nails in like-usage amounts (1,000 nails and one fuel cartridge or 3,000 nails and three cartridges). 800-222-6990.

23-Gauge Pin Nailers
- TOOLS OF THE TRADE Magazine (7/16/2007)
- I first discovered 23-gauge pin nailers when I was looking for a way to quickly attach small moldings after I found that 18-gauge brad nails, the standard for attaching small wood trim, would consistently split the material. At the time of my first purchase–about a decade ago–pin nailers shot a maximum 1-inch-length fastener. Back then, I felt this was more than adequate because I only envisioned using the pinner for attaching trim of 1/2 inch or less in thickness. What I did not expect, however, was how many other uses I would find for it.
