NEW TOOL - 1ST SEPTEMBER 2009 Introducing the new Paslode Impulse FrameMaster the new standard in Impulse framing nailers. With advanced motor drive cordless technology and improved skew nailing ability the Paslode FrameMaster is guaranteed to deliver new levels of reliability to the New Zealand building professional. Industry leading advances have been a hallmark of Paslode since our beginnings back in 1935 and our ongoing commitment to product innovation has seen Paslode lead the world in cordless Impulse nailer technology. In September 2009, just one year from our 75th anniversary, the new Paslode FrameMaster will be released in New Zealand marking another development milestone in cordless nailing. The FrameMaster includes some serious upgrades as you would expect when we planned the replacement for our celebrated compact nailer. The first thing you will notice is that the Paslode FrameMaster uses a new Twist n Lock fuel system. This system has been designed with the professional builder in mind and makes gas connection easier and more reliable. The Twist n Lock fuel system does away with clicking the valve into position and makes engaging the metering valve much easier, simply twist and lock the metering valve into place. The new fuel system offers the same clean burning fuel that maximizes the life of your new FrameMaster and also has improved metering that saves fuel and provides smooth power to optimise nailing right to the last shot. Twist n Lock direct injection cells are also easier to insert into the tool. No longer will you have to align the fuel valve stem, simply drop the cell into the tool housing, push the cap into place and close the door! This revolutionary new fuel delivery system is the key to reducing the actuation pressure of the tool. This means that the FrameMaster requires less pressure to actuate the tool making overhead nailing, high volume nailing and skew nailing a whole lot more comfortable. To mark the change we are adding the new Twist n Lock logo to all of our Impulse nail packs. Only Twist n Lock packs will be compatible with FrameMaster but all Impulse nail packs will be compatible with your existing Paslode compact nailer, so look out for the Twist n Lock logo at your local hardware merchant. Being the new kid on the block the Paslode FrameMaster has some great new features. Enhanced Motor Design The trusted Impulse technology of Paslode nailers has been improved with enhancements in motor design for greater tool reliability. Redesigned components have increased motor strength and lengthened recommended service intervals. Improved Work Contact Probe The all new work contact attachment has additional prongs for superior grip and stability when skew nailing. The extra prongs bite into the timber to ensure a safer and easier actuation every time. The lower actuation pressure also has advantages when you are straight nailing. Timber bruising is dramatically reduced. Style The Impulse FrameMaster now has a great new look with comfort grip handle and rubberized side mounts to keep its good looks longer in our tough working conditions. The FrameMaster includes all of the high performance features you have come to expect from Paslode. The tool design has superior balance and comfort for long days on the job and moulded handles with a reversible rafter and belt hook to keep the tool off the ground when not in use. New Zealand’s 90mm nailer The FrameMaster is also compatible with the entire BRANZ appraised Paslode D-head and RounDrive range, just like the old compact nailer. Just look for Twist n Lock on your Impulse nail packs to know you have the right nails for the job. Tool Free Depth of Drive Professional builders have long appreciated Paslode’s pioneering tool free depth of drive adjustment. This ensures accuracy of nail placement and guarantees that every nail can be fired flush with the timber surface or, punched to the required depth by simply lifting and extending or retracting the work contact probe. Standard Features The FrameMaster® also has all of the standard features you are used to that are designed to take the guesswork out of the job. The battery indicator light ensures that you know when to recharge the battery, nail lock out to ensure no dry firing to avoid damage to the timber surface and a pulse battery charger for quick charging every time. Quality As the new workhorse Impulse tool from Paslode the FrameMaster is packed with all of the high performance features that you are familiar with plus a few extra tricks to make your job easier. Refined engineering design backed by decades of experience and global leadership in precision nail tool design means that FrameMaster is the choice for this generation of New Zealand building professionals. With development focused on improving design and performance the Paslode FrameMaster is a legend in the making. Paslode is proud to bring state of the art nail driving technology to the New Zealand building professional Click here for more information on the new Paslode Impulse FrameMaster NEW FENCE BATTEN STAPLER - 1 MARCH 2009 Introducing the Paslode 315 collated fence batten stapling system. Designed specifically with the high volume professional fencer in mind the new Paslode 3.15mm batten staple system will save time and money. With a ground-breaking pneumatic fence batten tool and the first 3.15mm hot dipped galvanised fence batten staple designed to perform in all weather conditions Paslode has just made a tough job a whole lot easier! The revolutionary new Paslode 315 pneumatic batten stapler is bigger, tougher and has enough power to drive staples into even the hardest fence battens. No need to believe us, just try it and we guarantee you will be satisfied. Loaded with features the 315 batten stapler is designed for the professional fencer, saving up to 50% of the time currently taken to hand hammer batten staples. That time saving is money in your back pocket. When designing the new 315 staple we focused on quality. This uncompromising approach led us to our world class manufacturing site right here in New Zealand. Who else understands and could make a staple that meets the demands of our extreme farming environment? Our hot dipped galvanised staples are also paper collated. Paslode drew on over 50 years of experience in manufacturing collated fasteners for the New Zealand construction industry to deliver a quality product. Paper collation is as good as it gets, no waste materials, it is tougher and is better able to take the knocks whether it be on your tractor, your quad or on the flat deck, the 315 staples will stay together in all conditions. With improvements in staple manufacturing design Paslode has been able to increase withdrawal strength by 20%. This is because there is more staple than before. Manufactured from long life galvanised high tensile steel the 315 staples are bulkier with a carefully designed crown to fit snugly over the wire. No more pain! Fencing professionals understand better than anyone what it takes to build a quality fence and there is often pain and sweat involved. We can’t promise that it will all go away but when it comes to battening just get down to your local fencing specialist and ask for it by name "give me a 315" and the days of back ache and pain will be over. We asked fencing contractors around New Zealand what they really wanted. They told us "we don’t want to have staples wasted" so we came up with the new contractor size 2,700 staple pack. Now you get just what you need where you need it. The smaller pack size means they are stronger and easier to stack, store and transport. They are lighter and easier than the old bulky packs to lug up the hills and what’s more there is still enough for up to 380 battens of 7 wire fence. Or, at least enough to get through to lunch time! What’s more we have come up with a solution for those buckets, boxes, trays and pockets to transport your staples. We have developed a handy plastic carrying case that will fit precisely two contractor packs of 315’s. Buy a 315 pneumatic stapler and get one of these cases free. A Long lasting tough nylon carry case will make the job even easier!! Available while stocks last! We tested the new system extensively and asked around what the guys thought of the new system. One central Waikato contractor told us ""We were very impressed with the 315 tool, we fired 650 battens in steep country in half the time it takes with a hammer. This tool has more power than the old tool we have. We are very, very impressed with the staple size, the staple is thicker than the wire we are stapling to" Yet another responded to our questions "We normally only do two hours of battening at one time and then go onto doing another job because its hard and on the body, with the tool we can allow ourselves more battening at one time because it is so fast. In fact it’s twice as fast, we can hammer on between 40 and 50 battens an hour depending on conditions but can only keep it up for two hours. With the tool we can do over 100 battens an hour and can keep it up". Don’t just take their word for it, our area sales representatives will be pleased to visit your job site and demonstrate the new Paslode 315 system. Just contact your nearest fencing distributor and ask for 315 and let us do the rest.
