Paslode Cordless Celebrates 20 Years of Experience and Innovation

In 2006, Paslode Cordless celebrates the 20th anniversary of its Impulse® fuel cell technology and introduction of the first cordless power fastening system available on the market.

With 20 years of cordless experience, Paslode has established unmatched reliability, a complete cordless fastening system, and easy to use and maintain tools.

Jacek Romanski, Paslode's Remodeling Market Manager noted, "We have spent the last two decades perfecting our cordless fuel cell technologies and developing new tools designed specifically for our end users. The result is a complete line of tools that professionals rely on every day to get the job done."

To achieve the reliability standards they're known for, Paslode has in place an extensive quality assurance, lab testing and field validation program. Paslode has also continued to improve its own manufacturing and production facilities for the last twenty years to assure the highest quality of Paslode made cordless tools, fuel cells and nails.

Still today, more than 80 unexpired patents cover the integral components of Paslode Cordless technologies. One of these patented innovations is the Fuel Cell-Paslode's fuel + battery system that drives nails powerfully and consistently without compressors or hoses.

Paslode Cordless tools work best with Paslode nails and Fuel Cells; the complete fastening system increases reliability and reduces downtime for professional remodelers and carpenters. "Our customers' reputations depend on the reliability of our fastening systems," said Romanski. "Because professionals trust our experience, we are committed to continuously innovating Paslode Cordless tools, just as we have since 1986."

Since 1986, Paslode has developed a range of professional tools that includes the Cordless Framing Nailer, 16 Gauge Straight Finish Nailer (introduced in 1991), 16 Gauge Stapler (1991), 16 Gauge Angled Finish Nailer (2000), and the 18 Gauge Brad Nailer (2001). "Professional remodelers can go completely cordless-from frame to finish-with Paslode's cordless fastening systems," said Romanski.

Paslode Cordless fastening systems have evolved since first being introduced twenty years ago, incorporating numerous enhancements-both recommended and demanded-by the professional remodelers and carpenters who rely on their tools every day. By working directly with the professionals who use the tools, Paslode has been able to respond to changes in building materials, technologies, and codes, as well as to professionals' demands for cordless nailers that are easy to use and maintain.

"Our experience has shown that end users want lightweight, compact tools; a wide range of fasteners; and powerful, reliable performance," said Romanski. "Our innovation in response to end users' needs means that we will continue to provide enhancements that make Paslode Cordless tools ever easier to use and maintain," he concluded.

Paslode's most recent evolution has been to the Cordless Framing Nailer. Twenty years of field testing and experience have resulted in a tool that is ideal for remodeling and framing of walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, door and window frames, sheathing, roof and floor decks, as well as recreational porches, decks, and fences.

Newer features, engineered in response to professionals' feedback, include a tool-free adjustable depth of drive mechanism; a non-slip, overmolded hand grip that prevents user fatigue during use; and a dual-position utility hook.

Paslode, a division of Illinois Tool Works, is a leading manufacturer of Cordless and pneumatic nailers, staplers, and fasteners. The company's products are widely used by professional remodelers and carpenters for framing, sheathing, trim and finish applications, fencing, floor and roof decking, siding, and insulation.
