Paslode CF325Li Fuel Powered Li-Ion Framing System
Paslode introduces the first fuel powered cordless framing system in the USA with a Lithium-ion battery. The Paslode Cordless Framing System, Model CF325Li, is more than just a nailer, it combines Paslode's latest, most advanced fuel powered cordless framing nailer with a Lithium-ion battery and the benefits of the Fuel + Nail Combo pack.
The CF325Li's performance is outstanding. It drives 50 percent more nails per charge (up to 6,000) and holds a charge five times longer than the CF325 with a Ni-Cad battery. It charges in just one hour, and features a two-minute quick charge that will drive up to 200 nails when you just can't wait an hour to finish a project.
The 7.2-volt Lithium-ion battery weighs less than the Ni-Cad battery, providing the professional contractor with a lighter tool and better balance, which reduces arm fatigue. A feature contractors also like is the two-position battery insert design. In addition to the standard “on” mode, there is a “standby” position to allow the battery to remain securely in the tool without battery drain. Other cordless framing nailers need the battery removed from the tool to avoid battery drain.
The CF325Li also features a new depth-of-drive adjustment that adjusts on the fly improving productivity.
Available now, the CF325Li was designed and assembled in the USA and works with Paslode’s Fuel and Nail Combo Packs with PowerBoost Black Tip Coating. The PowerBoost Black Tip Coating is a proprietary coating that allows the CF325Li to drive the nail flush into the hardest engineered lumber, such as LVL, something many pneumatic nailers cannot do. Another feature of the PowerBoost Black Tip Coating on these nails is their holding power or withdrawal resistance, which is 20 percent better than a traditional framing nail.
Paslode’s unique concept of packaging the fuel cartridge with the nails is preferred by remodelers, builders, and carpenters. In the past, most users would run out of fuel before they ran out of nails, so Paslode engineers designed an all new fuel delivery system for the Cordless Framing System that can drive more than 1,000 nails per fuel cartridge. And by packing each cartridge with 1,000 nails, the tool never runs out of fuel before it runs out of nails, increasing user productivity.
The Fuel + Nail Combo Packs come in cartons of one fuel cartridge plus 1,000 nails or three fuel cartridges plus 3,000 nails. While the 1,000 packs are designed for remodelers and lower volume users, the 3,000 packs are for the growing number of heavy duty users that have completely converted from pneumatic to cordless nailing systems, eliminating the need for hoses or compressors on the jobsite.
The CF-325Li Cordless Framing System comes complete with a rugged carrying case, rechargeable Lithium-ion battery and charger, safety glasses and a comprehensive owner’s manual. The System’s suggested retail price is $399 and is covered by a one year full warranty and a five year limited warranty.
