Industry-leading cordless gas nailers for first fix, second fix, roofing and fencing. Trusted by UK tradespeople for over 40 years of on-site nailing innovation.
Paslode was founded in 1935 in the USA by J.W. Leslie — the name itself an acronym for PAcking Shipping LOading DEvices. The company created the world's first pneumatic nailer in 1962, and in 1986 launched the first ever cordless gas-powered nailing gun, fundamentally changing how carpenters and builders work on site.
Now part of Illinois Tool Works (ITW), Paslode has spent over 40 years perfecting cordless gas nailing technology. The current range — including the iconic IM350+ for first fix and the IM65A for second fix — uses lithium batteries paired with gas fuel cells to deliver fast, consistent nailing without compressors, hoses or mains power. Purpose-built nails engineered to work with each specific tool complete the system.
Purpose-built cordless nailing for every stage of the build
The cordless gas nailers that set the standard on UK building sites
ICONIC
The 7th generation of the most trusted framing nailer on UK sites. 82J of driving power fires 50-90mm nails at up to 3 per second. Lithium battery delivers 9,000 shots per charge — over 4 full fuel cells without recharging.
BESTSELLER
The go-to finishing nailer for second fix carpentry. 30J of power drives 32-63mm 16-gauge angled brads into softwood and MDF. Angled magazine reaches corners and confined areas that straight nailers cannot.
The cordless gas nailers trusted on building sites across the UK
Paslode's unique gas fuel cell and lithium battery combination delivers consistent driving power without compressors, hoses or mains electricity. Pick up the tool and go — on any site, at any height, in any location.
Fire up to 3 nails per second and 1,000 fixings per hour. On large framing jobs, roofing and fencing work, that speed translates directly into time saved and earlier finishes.
No compressor to buy, transport, maintain or power. No hoses to trip over. No generator running on site. Just a nailer, a battery and a gas cell. Total freedom of movement.
Paslode nails are engineered specifically for each nailer model — collation, angle, coating and gauge are all matched to deliver reliable feeding and optimum holding power every time.
Paslode operates a UK service centre with nationwide collection. Authorised service centres across the country handle repairs, servicing and genuine parts. Service recommended every 50,000 shots.
Every Paslode nailer comes with a 2-year warranty, 90-day cover on wearing parts and 5 years on nylon moulded components. Register your tool with Paslode to activate full warranty coverage.

Common questions about Paslode gas nailers, nails and servicing
Paslode nailers use a combination of a gas fuel cell and a lithium battery. The battery powers a fan and ignition system, while the gas fuel cell provides the combustion energy that drives each nail. A small internal combustion occurs with every trigger pull, firing the nail into the material. This eliminates the need for compressors, hoses or mains power entirely.
Paslode's gas + battery system delivers significantly more driving power than battery-only nailers, which is why Paslode remains the professional standard for framing and structural nailing. Battery-only nailers rely solely on the battery for impact energy, which limits their power output. Paslode's gas combustion technology delivers 82J of energy in the IM350+ — enough to drive 90mm nails into softwood consistently.
Paslode nails are purpose-built for each specific nailer model. The IM350+ uses clipped-head or full round-head framing nails (50-90mm). The IM65A uses 16-gauge angled brads (32-63mm). The IM90i uses strip nails (50-90mm). Always use genuine Paslode nails — third-party nails may cause jams, misfires and can void your warranty.
Paslode recommends a full service approximately every 50,000 shots. Between services, regular cleaning of the combustion chamber and nose area will maintain performance. Paslode operates a UK service centre with nationwide collection — the standard service and repair costs £149 +VAT and includes genuine parts with a 4-month warranty on fitted components.
Paslode nailers come with a 2-year manufacturer warranty, 90-day warranty on normal wearing parts, and 5-year warranty on nylon moulded components.
