Cordless Design for Flexibility on the Job
With the CF325 Fuel-Powered Cordless Framing Nailer, you'll never have to worry about dragging around annoying cords, dirty hoses, or bulky compressors. Instead, you'll get the portability and flexibility you need to move around the jobsite and finish hard-to-reach areas--without the mess and clutter of a pneumatic tool. And because you won't need to set up or break down, you'll save both time and labor costs.

Drive Nails in the Toughest Lumber
Ideal for professionals and remodeling enthusiasts, the powerful CF325 Fuel-Powered Cordless Framing Nailer drives 3-1/4" PowerBoost Black Tip Coated nails (available only with Paslode Fuel + Nail Combo Packs) in the toughest lumber, so you can handle decking, sub-assembly blocking, sheathing, and trussing of all types. And when you're tackling a big job, you'll be grateful for the high-capacity magazine, which holds up to 48 nails (one strip).

What's more, this nailer offers the convenience of a nail lockout feature that prevents blank fires and a tool-free depth-of-drive adjustment. And for durability and speed, the CF325 has an aggressive nosepiece and steel O-rings.

Big Power in a Compact Package
The CF325 Fuel-Powered Cordless Framing Nailer uses a patented fuel plus battery system to give you exceptional power and performance. The included rechargeable battery will drive 4,000 nails on one charge, while one Orange quicklode Fuel Cell (included) will drive up to 1,300 nails. The nailer itself can drive approximately 50,000 nails before it needs cleaning--up to 5x more nails than the previous model.

Lightweight and compact, the 7.5-lb. CF325 is easy on the arms, and it fits easily between 16" on-center studs, joists, and roof trusses. And with a non-slip grip that reduces hand fatigue, it's comfortable to hold, even during all-day jobs.

For easy mobility, the CF325 features a heavy-duty rafter hook that makes it easy to hang the CF325 on a tool belt, ladder, or rafter.

The CF325 is backed by a one-year normal wear parts warranty and a five-year limited warranty.

A whopping piece of junk!

Reviewer: Timothy S. Nooncaster, USA
DO NOT BUY THIS THING!!! It does not use the same fuel cell as the old Paslode framing nailer. The NEW cell you can ONLY buy 1 at a time with a box of nails. You CANNOT buy the fuel cell seperately from the nails. SO you'll be stuck with a surplus of nails. To obtain a fuel cell you'll then have to buy MORE nails.

Some improvements but at a cost
 
Review Date: December 19, 2009
Reviewer: MicTrik,
This latest offering from Paslode is the next iteration of their venerable cordless framing nailer (IMCT). The unit has addressed some issues that existed with the original design and has added some new features. Some people found the firing rate of the previous design to be a little slow so this new nailer does fire faster. The nose of this nailer actuates in more positions and with less pressure than the older model making the nailing process a little easier when toe-nailing in tight areas. The fuel cell has been redesigned so that it is a simple drop in as some people apparently had issues with the fuel cell not mating properly with the metering valve; I never experienced this myself. This unit holds more nails per load and the rafter hook has been redesigned so that it can actually be hung on a rafter as the older style was to narrow. Finally they redesigned the combustion chamber with the intent of increasing the time that the nailer will operate reliably before needing to be cleaned. I have no reason to doubt this but it is too early for me to tell if it has been achieved.
All in all the unit itself is a nice redesign that fits well in the hand and addresses a few deficiencies with the earlier design. However this offering does bring a whole new and in my opinion a show stopping issue to the table. Paslode management has decided to package the fuel cells for this product with the nails. This mean that they must be purchased together so if the cell runs out, is defective or you lose a fuel cell you have to get more nails. This also does not bode well for those who have stocked up on nails. The fact that the redesigned fuel cells are not compatible with the older units is a problem in itself and forcing customers to buy nails with the cells just adds insult to injury. Paslode claims that this will ensure that the customer has enough fuel for the lot of nails but i think there is an ulterior motive lurking.
In my opinion Paslode is showing very little commitment to the customer by selling fuel cells only with nails... I think their true reasoning for this may be to ensure that you buy Paslode nails. In addition, in terms of space there seemed no practical reason to change the fuel cell design other than to ensure that it was not compatible with older guns. The "drop-in" installation could of been achieved by redesigning the nozzle and slot retaining backwards compatibility. I am sure that someone at Paslode is planning on sun-lighting the older red fuel cells forcing owners of the older Framing nailer (IMCT) to upgrade. Sorry Paslode this is not the sign of a top company that supports its loyal customers... I hope that the management at Paslode see fit to offer the new cells both separately and for a reasonable price. I also hope that they find a way to ensure that older framing nailer's will continue to have fuel available. Homeowners who may not use the guns very frequently expect that their purchase(Expen$ive) of a commercial quality tool would function for a very long time, let's not let them down.
I love this gun!
 
Review Date: October 12, 2009
Reviewer: S. Willis, Florida Keys
I recently purchased Palsode's new and improved CF-325 cordless framing nailer when my 10 year old Impulse bit the dust. I like the rubberized hand grip which helps in keeping the gun under control as my hands are dripping with sweat, which is almost all the time down here in southern most Key West, Florida. (hot, hot, hot). I can toe nail like a dream with this gun. The gun hanger has a cool improvement, as it will hang off my tool belt or when switched around can hang on joists. Very handy. The new fuel cell set up keeps the fuel cell firmly in place so that it does not dislodge while firing, like in the older gun. The door for the fuel cell compartment is much beefier with metal parts, rather than just plastic. The depth setting is a breeze as you can do so by hand rather than having to break out the tools. I have gone through 4500 nails with no problems. I was very frustrated trying to find replacement fuel cells. None of the lumber yards in the Keys had heard of this new gun, let alone sell fuel cells. My only complaint is a ditto on the previous reviewer in that Paslode is not selling fuel cells by themselves. You have to buy nails and fuels cells toghter in a combo pack. I had plenty of nails from Home Depot and did not want pay the shipping fee for more nails just to get fuel cells. I hear that Home Depot is going to be selling the combo packs and the new gun in about 1 month. Fortunately, I was able to buy separate fuel cells on ebay and get back to nailing.
sweet!
 
Review Date: June 24, 2009
Reviewer: Michael St Jean, Maine
the gun works like a charm! toe nailing is greatly improved with this gun because of the new tip that you can change depth with your hands. I used this gun all day for framing a big deck, went through half a box of ACQ 3 1/4" nails and every time I pulled the trigger the nail drove home, not one miss fire. when gun gets hot it still keeps working perfectly (new stainless O rings) the fuel cell is easier to load and unload. Much improved over the previous 900420 cordless Paslode framer. The only reason why this gun gets a 4 star is because you can't buy the fuel cells without buying a box of 1000 Paslode nails. New orange fuel cell is different than the red fuel cells and you can't switch the cap of the fuel cell. they say that you should be able to drive over a 1000 nails with one fuel cell, well from what I've experienced with the 900420, if you don't have the perfect weather conditions (like 15 degrees) your fuel cells don't last that long and you need to keep an extra cell warm in your pocket, so while the one in your gun is getting too cold to work, you can switch with the warm one in your pocket. If they start selling fuel cells separately I will change the 4 star rating to 5.

Ideal for general contractors, remodelers, construction workers, and service workers, the NR90GR will make short work of framing, sub flooring, fencing, sheathing, punch-out work, and more.

Speedy and Powerful Nail Delivery System
The NR90GR gas-powered nail delivery system is a powerful alternative to traditional pneumatic nailers. With no annoying hoses to wind, this nailer is capable of driving up to two nails per second and 1,000 nails per hour. A single battery charge will fire about 4,000 nails and a fuel rod will fire about 1,200 nails, which means you'll get the job done quicker.The NR90GR fires up to 3.5 x 0.131-inch round-head nails, whereas most of the competition falls off at 3-1/4 inches. This allows for maximum flexibility when working on various materials and applications. The adjustable depth-of-drive nose piece ensures each nail gets seated properly to suit the workpiece.

User-Friendly Design Reduces Downtime
With an easy two-step nail-loading procedure, the NR90GR will help you reduce downtime and improve efficiency. Simply slide the attached strip of nails into the magazine and release the feeder to lock the nails in place--you'll be ready to go within seconds. An E-Z view feature on the magazine prevents untimely reloads and keeps you on task.

For further ease of use, the NR90GR utilizes a six-nail lockout feature for preventing accidental dry firing of the nailer and ensuring proper loading and firing at all times. Additionally, the fuel rod door is double locked to eliminate accidental opening of the fuel-latch door during operation. A low-battery indicator gives you plenty of warning for your next recharge.

Designed for Comfort, Control, and Portability
Like all Hitachi tools, the NR90GR is ergonomically designed to enhance comfort and control on the job. To start, the nailer weighs just 7.9 pounds and features a well-balanced design that minimizes user fatigue and allows for easy one-handed operation. Additionally, the handle is wrapped in Elastomer compound to reduce vibration and prevent slippage for ultimate control. A collapsible rafter hook provides additional convenience by allowing you to hang the nailer from a rafter when both of your hands are needed.

The NR90GR doesn't require air hoses or a compressor, making it much more portable than a pneumatic nailer. Measuring just 14-1/4 x 4-1/4 x 13-29/35 inches (LxWxH), it will fit into tight spaces with ease.

The NR90GR Gas Powered Framing Nailer is backed by Hitachi's one-year warranty.

Product Description
Ideal for light framing and remodeling projects and high-volume commercial use, the Paslode Cordless IMCT Framing Nailer is compatible with 2.0-inch to 3.25-inch full- and clipped-head nails. This handy, high-performance tool lets you avoid the hassle of compressor noise and hoses. Also, it’s easy to handle and hold, offers consistent performance, and supplies the right amount of power for a range of uses.


The highly visible, easy-to-access load magazine makes reloading quick and simple. View larger.

Batteries charge in under two hours for convenient, cord-free power. View larger.

Each red fuel cartridge drives up to 1200 nails (fuel cell not included). View larger.
Lightweight, Hose-Free Operation Minimizes Arm Fatigue
Measuring 12.0 inches long and weighing just 7.3 pounds, the IMCT Framing Nailer is comfortable to handle and hold. Its 'sure grip' and well-balanced design combine with a soft trigger to reduce arm fatigue. And because you won’t have to drag a hose with you as you work, you’ll be able to drive nails better and longer, without undue stress on your arms, hands, and wrists.

Compact, Heavy-Duty Design Works Anywhere and Everywhere
Compact enough to work in tight, hard-to-reach areas, the IMCT Framing Nailer packs a powerful punch with heavy-duty construction that can handle tough job conditions. It shoots up to 1,200 nails on a single fuel cell and up to 4,000 nails on a full battery charge, providing a cycle rate of two to three nails per second. And because it offers tool-free depth-of-drive adjustment--no wrenches required!--you can get more done in less time.

Internal Combustion Linear Motor for Robust Performance
Unlike other power fastening tools, the IMCT Framing Nailer is powered by an internal combustion linear motor. In simpler terms, the nailer owes its robust performance to its motor, which is similar to an automobile's motor. Additionally, the tool ignites a fuel and air mixture to produce the energy needed to drive the motor, and ultimately, the fastener.

Patented Battery System for Consistency and Reliability
Another unique feature of this nailer is that it uses a patented system that requires both a fuel cell and a rechargeable battery (the fuel cell is not included). This translates to optimum consistency and reliability, whether you’re building a deck, working with wall sheathing, or repairing a roof. It also means the IMCT Framing Nailer is entirely self-contained. The tool carries its own fuel supply and battery--along with a supply of fasteners--making it easy to bring with you from site to site.

Lockout Feature to Prevent Blank Firing and Wood Damage
The IMCT Framing Nailer boasts a lockout feature to prevent needless blank cycling, which can waste fuel and damage both the wood you’re working with and the nailer's components. This feature works by ensuring that five nails will be left in the magazine when the follower reaches the lockout area. Additionally, the tool will not operate when its nail supply has less than six nails.

High-Visibility Magazine and Belt Hanger for Convenience
The IMCT Framing Nailer is designed to be exceptionally user friendly, with features that help keep your job running smoothly. First, the load magazine is highly visible, so it helps prevent you from running out of nails in the middle of a project. There’s also a convenient dual-position belt hanger, so you don't have to lay the nailer on the ground or on top of a ladder, nor do you have to wedge it among rafters. And if you can't remember where you last placed your nailer, its bright orange color makes it easy to spot.

About the Battery Charging System
The IMCT Framing Nailer comes with a rechargeable battery and its own charging system. This charging system is the only one that will work with Paslode batteries (both round and oval). When your tool arrives, you’ll first need to charge the battery. Batteries will generally take five minutes to two hours to recharge, depending on the amount of discharge within the battery.

Dimensions and Warranty Information
The IMCT Framing Nailer has a height of 14.5 inches and weighs 7.3 pounds. It comes with a one-year limited warranty on all parts, a five-year warranty on all molded nylon parts, and a 90-day limited warranty on the bumper, driver blades, O-rings, and seal rings.

What's in the Box
Nailer, 6.0-volt battery, charger, belt hanger, rugged plastic carrying case, safety goggles, manual, and 5/32-inch hex wrench.

Product Description
Long nails into hardwood? No problem. Working overhead? It's only 4.2 pounds. Hate having the exhaust in your face? Tool-free, 360-degree adjustment takes care of that. No time for jams? Clearing takes no more than a couple of seconds because of the quick-release nose. The magazine is made of nylon, but it seems as rugged to us as any metal magazine out there. That's also why this nailer is so easy on the hands. Add to that a nicely padded grip and a selective trigger and you'd think you have the perfect nailer. But get this—there's a built-in dust blower that clears light debris and dust from your workpiece. Hitachi quality leaves nothing to want.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

  • Designed with integrated air duster for clearing away dust and debris
  • Made with lightweight aluminum body and durable composite magazine
  • Easy to operate with simple depth of drive adjustment, easy clear nose, and adjustable air deflector
