New PowerFramer Framing Nailer Takes On Engineered Lumber

 

Engineered or laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is all the rage in the home building industry. It has many advantages, but these woods are much harder and, we’ve noticed, your standard framing nailer isn’t powerful enough to drive a 3” nail flush. Workers are constantly stopping and pulling out a hammer to seat a nail. As you can imagine, this really slows things down. And time is money when you’re building a house.

Paslode saw the need, went back to the drawing board, and we can comfortably say that the new Paslode PowerFramer PF350 is one of the most powerful framing nailers on the market today. It will sink a 3” nail into the toughest engineered lumber.

But besides being a more powerful nailer, it is also one of the lightest, weighing just 7.5 lbs, and is extremely durable. In fact, the PowerFramer PF350 is made to deliver more than 18 months of service before requiring maintenance and has a tool life of more than five years.


So, what do you think? Have you tried the PowerFramer PF350?
