Paslode introduced the very
first pneumatic tool, a light duty upholstery tacker,
in 1959. Shortly afterwards, Paslode produced the first
commercially accepted pneumatic nailer providing the construction
industry with a cost efficient way to increase productivity
and reduce worker fatigue.
In 1986, Paslode reinforced its position as an industry
innovator by introducing the first cordless power framing
nailer, the Impulse®, offering the power of a pneumatic
without hoses. Still widely considered the industry
standard, the Impulse features a patented combustion
motor that provides freedom from compressors and cords
allowing greater safety, maneuverablity and versatility.
The popularity of the Impulse framing nailer led Paslode
engineers to develop yet another inventive cordless
nailer in 1991, the IM250. Designed for trim applications,
this cordless finish nailer offers a durable yet lightweight
design making it easy for use in tight spaces.
An enhanced pneumatic nailer, the PowerMaster™,
was introduced in 1995. With its lightweight design
and offering more power per pound than competing models,
the PowerMaster defined an entirely new generation of
pneumatic nailers. |
