After three years of use on several major projects, this item gets 5 stars.  Before purchasing, I researched and interviewed several professionals that used the Paslode Impulse Cordless Framing Nailer.  I carefully read and understood the manufacturer's technical material.  Anyone that does likewise - and knows what to expect before they buy - should be well pleased with this tool. Jobs that once took all day to complete can now be finished in one hour. It's the next best thing to hiring someone to do the job for you. Thanks, Paslode.
