I work on Paslode and I can tell you that, the one tested here is faulty. They have to be oiled in the driver area to break it in. They will usually shoot the nail into a 4” oak lumber easily. Most carpenters want the nail to be under the surface, as it insures a passed inspection . Fresh wood will recover around the nail and won’t back out as easily. If you think there’s not enough vibrations to make it move, think about wind, rain, heat and walking through the house. Doors are opened and closed and jar it too.

Great video. I have the DeWalt framing nailers in my rental fleet, customers complain about them jamming pretty frequently. I actually used it for a project in the store and experienced it myself. I've had to disassemble them for repairs, and they work by spinning up a flywheel. When it fires the nail, it basically jams a part against the flywheel, which gets launched forward to fire the nail. This is really sensitive to lubrication and debris, and is a lot more likely to have a hard time returning to the start position if the nail doesn't fire properly than the TTi (Milwaukee and Ridgid) nailers, which basically use a built-in air compressor instead. Since Craftsman is a Stanley Black & Decker brand, I imagine it's using the same idea. Unrelately, I just watched your video on rust removers. I've been using a jar of muriatic acid based toilet bowl cleaner inside of an ultrasonic cleaner to remove rust and it works pretty well, so this has made me wonder how well other products work in an ultrasonic cleaner. ...Think you're up for a video on ultrasonic cleaner solutions? I've heard of just about as many different solutions as I've heard of people using ultrasonic cleaners, from straight water to solutions marketed specifically as ultrasonic cleaning solutions, to regular degreasers like Simple Green and even gasoline. It would be fantastic to know what ultrasonic cleaning solutions work best for different cleaning applications - dirt, oil/grease, rust, etc. Ultrasonic cleaners are amazing tools for cleaning stuff, but I've heard of people getting frustrated with them or straight up thinking that they're a scam because of using an ineffective solution, so it would be really useful to know what works well.

Hugh fan of Milwaukee, absolute love it with passion. After 3 years of trying too convince my self that the Milwaukee framer was the better I can no long convince my self the power is worth the weight. It's nice for flooring ect but when it comes too framing in general you don't need it.

Thank you for these videos, some of the best unbiased product reviews out there. I try to base my purchasing decisions off of your results whenever possible! Ryobi is scheduled to release their framing nailer later this year, please add that to your tests when it becomes available!

Speaking of Craftsman, recently got their 150w inverter for use with their 20V packs.. Pretty darn useful for powering LED light bulbs with a socket to outlet adapter and even those 30w super bright garage/attic type lights using the adapter. Glad to see you testing out Craftsman tools, may not be the best but they do the job.

Having used the Paslode to frame and build my entire basement, I can concur that it does sometimes leave the nails proud. But it also was AMAZING for keeping the tip planted wherever you put it. Angles or straight, it never budged. It was lent to me from a relative so I can't speak to it being worth the extra money if I had to buy one, but if you have access to it and aren't already invested in Milwaukee batteries, it's worth it.

If nails are proud regularly due to hard timber you can "pump" the tip while not pressing the trigger adding extra gas to increase power beyond all the other settings,it is a pain having to slow down and "double pump" every shot but if it works it is quicker than having to punch nails because of cladding or drywall

I'm a carpenter by trade & have tried the Milwaukee & dewalt, but the paslode is definitely the best option. Here, you'll find carpenters only use paslode for the cordless system with the other brands being used mostly by plumbers, labourers & DIY'ers. I use the paslode for standing walls, installing beams, roof frames & floor systems. The pneumatic comes out when building the walls, final nail off on floor systems & wall top plate. I generally keep one extra gas on me with a few clips of nails too.

This was another awesome video as always. I use nailer constantly for work and everyone I work with swears by their Dewalt or Paslode but I use all Ridgid. I would love to see the same video but with finish nailer since it will be my next purchase. Thank you for the excellent showdowns as always.

I used a Paslode to build a few 16x25ft sheds over the years. I gotta tell you, that tip grip is super helpful. Also, it had more than enough power for what I was doing - and it didn't suffer from performance degradation. It just worked.

I as well have used the Paslode in commercial construction. They are way better than the battery framers because they are so much lighter and easier to use. Paslodes don't seem to be as violent on the recoil as well. With the battery guns I couldn't hold the gun in place, while working my wood with the other other hand. With the Paslode I could.

You weren't working long enough. Meaning Paslode gun gas cylinder needs to be cleaned sometimes because that gas cartridge also includes oil. And when you have used that gun long enough that gas cylinder become too dirty and nailing piston doesn't move.

I have used one for the past 2 years, it's heavy, very heavy, plus you are gonna want to the extended rack, and that is filled with nails, so probably another 1 lb or so. Maybe heavier duty firing hammer I don't know. Honestly I still hook up the air most of the time. Unless it's like a couple windows or bracing.

Yet another excellent video! I can't help but root for Dewalt every time simply because that's the brand I have chosen to go with (I can't stand having a mess of different batteries and chargers so I stick with one brand for everything).

With you testing so many power tools, I would be interested in more durability testing with the tools you've recommended to see how long they last and if the cheaper tools still beat the more expensive after months or years of use as longevity is very important when comparing tools not just price. Sometime the cheaper tools may seem better at first but break before more expensive options. I know this would take a very long time. Keep up the great non-biased work.

Great review. I thank testing 18 ga brad nailers and 23 ga pin nailers would be great. A lot of finish carpenters and hobbyist uses them and being compared to nomadic nailers.

All my nail guns are pneumatic....and I don't do much in the way of wood working projects anymore, but found myself grabbing the brad nailer a lot with every project, so it would be interesting to see how the cordless/hoseless brad nailers do. I have yellow tools, and honestly wouldn't waste money on battery powered nail guns, they are far too inconsistent, and that's not what you want in a finish project...framing is one thing, its usually rough anyways and you typically won't see it...but have a nail gun misfire a nail in a finish project or not fire at all and just dimple the wood leaves a lot of work involved in fixing that problem.

The metabo HPT is known as Hikoki in UK and was popular on test. The framing hook on the hikoki/metbao is deliberately large so it can fit over a 4inch beam. The paslode still needs gas which is expensive and an inconvenience. Milwaukee tools are always powerful until they break.

First thing, fantastic testing as always! Very thorough, and straight to the point. You've definitely had an effect on some of my past purchases, keep up the great work! As a heavy user of both Paslode and Milwaukee cordless nailers in the past, my main complaint with the Milwaukee is use in cold weather. We get -25 to -35°c winters and the seals on the Milwaukee are not made for those temps (that came from the Milwaukee techs directly). So after a week or 2 framing in the cold the seals would give, and they would only fire the nails halfway into standard spf lumber requiring them to be sent for service. I will give them the power output is superior otherwise. However, I will always grab the Paslode first. When you are framing all day, firing in awkward positions, and reaching to nail something the Milwaukee becomes overly cumbersome. The lower weight coupled with the better grip design especially for reversed grip firing makes the Paslode much more pleasant to use. The Paslode may require a deep cleaning every couple houses framed, but taking an hour to clean a few nailers every few jobs (which can be done right on site) has always been easier than waiting on a service. Those are my opinions and I get some people may be as strong as the hulk and may not have to deal with the cold so a lot of this is situational, but hopefully this helps someone. Cheers!

I wolud like to hear your recommendation for palm nailers, I am planning on installing wall covering with exotic tropical dense wood in excess of 3000 lbf Janka rating, 5/8" thick, I want to use the palm nailer and built a frame to "mimic" the subfloor frame at 6" center to center distance, this is a custom work in the tropical weather in Mexico, and there is no need to rush the installation time.

I would like to see a test on automotive/trailer winches on any of the 8k-12k lbs winches. The actual strength, speed, and amp draw. Also, the durability in mud and water would be cool to see.

The fact that the Ridgid can be repressurized without sending it in for repairs is a huge plus IMO.

We use Milwaukees on our job site, and for some reason we had a couple of them give up the goat and stopped firing after heavy, fast, continuous use.
