I wanted a framing nailer for personal projects so spent considerable time researching on-line at various sites.  I finally called a friend who is a builder and asked what he used and recommended.  He said he owns and uses several different brands of nailers, but when he gets busy on a site he always reaches for his Paslode first.  Based mainly on the recommendation of a professional, I purchased a used Paslode.  My first use has been framing two new rooms in my basement.  Not having to share an enclosed space with my compressor or stretch an air line from outside was famous.  The Paslode was quick, convenient, and worked like a charm.  It's a small thing, but the squared body of the engine lets you lay it down on the floor and the handle remains upright and easy to quickly grab when you need it.  When I first got it I suffered a few misfires and slow operation, so I gave it a thorough cleaning per the operators manual.  The process was relatively simple if you follow the book and the difference was immediate.  It doesn't bump fire, but will spit out fasteners as fast as I can pull the trigger.  The one thing I did not read about in any of my research are the fumes.  Because it uses butane fuel the exhaust has a distinct odor to it.  In an enclosed environment like my basement you really start to notice it after awhile, and it gave me a slight headache until I opened a window.  Bottom line: I do not regret my decision to purchase the Paslode as my only framing nailer.  All my other nailers (Hitachi coil roofing, Bostitch and Senco finish nailers, and Bostitch brad nailer)are air nailers, but for the convenience and ease of use I love just being able to grab my Paslode and drive a few nails without all the setup of compressor and air lines first.  Now I'm looking for more projects so I have an excuse to use it :o)
