Paslode launches FrameMaster 2021
The first upgrade in five years to industry’s #1 framing nailer delivers clever new features enhancing performance, reliability, and user comfort.
Rubberised grip for improved handling and feel.
New by-pass follower makes for faster and smoother nail loading.
How do you improve industry’s best-in-class cordless framing nailer?
Retain the features that propelled FrameMaster to the top spot following the 1986 launch of Paslode’s first-generation cordless nailer – and then apply tradies’ feedback through engineering-led design and durability testing to add simple but powerful features to improve FrameMaster’s performance, reliability, and comfort.
The high-performance cordless nailer preferred by builders across New Zealand, FrameMaster 2021 features four key enhancements.
A new rubberised grip improves handling and feel, the addition of the by-pass follower and redesigned nail lip make nail loading faster and smoother, and a fan with longer runtime improves cooling during bouts of rapid firing and heavy workload.
Paul Carter, Trade Marketing Manager at ITW Construction, says the subtle but significant improvements – five years in the making – reflect a product design ethos that has made Paslode’s cordless tools a builder’s favourite.
“Simplicity is everything, because asking builders
to change the way they work simply doesn’t work. Product innovation starts and ends with the question: does it make the nailing job easier, safer, and faster.”
Weighing in at just 3.3kg – industry’s lightest cordless nailer – FrameMaster’s best-in-class reliability rides on Paslode’s industry-famous Impulse gas technology, leaving first-generation battery powered nailers in the sawdust.
Rigorous testing conducted by Paslode parent ITW’s global nailer testing unit bears this out, with the FrameMaster delivering consistent nailing
