This tool only weighs 5.9 pounds. That's very light compared to traditional framing nailers.
Paslode gets it. When was the last time you bought something and were not able to
use it RIGHT AWAY because you were missing something?
Well in this case, you need NAILS to use the tool.
Paslode includes two strips of nails in the box, as well as safety glasses so you can use the tool within 60 seconds of opening it up.
Good form Paslode! Said in my best Captain Hook voice.
If you've never used a framing nailer before, I want to WARN YOU NOW.
Once you use one, you'll probably NEVER again hammer a 16d nail by hand again. You simply can't
believe how productive you'll be using a pneumatic nailer.
The nails also have a special glue on them to increase holding power.
NEW TOOL ALERT - READ THIS!!!

Subscriber Question About Roof
Jim Fiste is a subscriber to this newsletter. He saw a photo I posted last issue about the progress
on my roof.
Here's what he sent in:
"It looks like you installed Grace Ice & Water Shield on the main body of your roof. I thought that a roof had to "breathe" and
not to install ice & water shield except at valleys, above the gutters and at side walls.
I've heard where Ice &
Water Shield was used on an entire roof and within several years all the wood roof sheathing had to be replaced because of rot. Comments?"
Jim, if that story's true, you only heard half of it. The wrong half.
Wood is hygroscopic. It does react to different levels of humidity. It will soak up water vapor AND it will
RELEASE it readily.
What about the underside of the sheathing? That part that's exposed to great air flow from the soffit and attic ventilation? That's where it "breathes".
The Grace Ice & Water Shield I'm using WILL PREVENT all liquid water from ever touching my wood sheathing. Any water
vapor UNDER the sheathing will readily exhaust to the outside.
The key to ANY ROOF is to have fantastic ventilation.
Here's a photo of what I did yesterday. Yes, those are precise miter cuts of the roofing against the center line of the metal valley
flashing.
Wait until you see the photo of the other side of the valley complete. WOWZAA will it look nice....
