The Paslode 501000 PowerMaster Plus 30-Degree Pneumatic Framing Nailer (model F350-S) is an air-powered framing nailer built for heavy-duty framing and sheathing work. This is a pneumatic framing nailer designed for wall framing, truss and joist attachment, and roof decking. Model Number: 501000 (tool model F350-S). Paslode builds it for reliable performance with less maintenance and durable construction that holds up on the jobsite.

It shoots Paslode RounDrive 30-degree offset full head framing nails (brite or galvanized) and clipped head brite 30-degree framing nails, from 2 inches to 3-1/2 inches long and .113 to .131 inch in diameter. The magazine holds 2 strips, up to 84 nails, so you reload less often during a wall layout or a sheet of decking.

Paslode rates the PowerMaster Plus at up to 6 nails per second, tested at 110 psi with 3-1/4 inch by .131 nails fired into pine. The tool runs on 80 to 120 psi with an air requirement of .082 per cycle. Firing mode is selectable between sequential and bump fire, so you can run sequential for precise placement and bump for fast sheathing and decking.

The design is built for real framing work. The adjustable depth of drive is set with an on-board Allen wrench that also handles routine service. The aggressive tooth tip bites into lumber for toe nailing, the adjustable exhaust cap directs air away from your face, and the rafter hook folds out of the way when you do not need it. The ergonomic handle adds comfort for full days on the gun.

Maintenance is lighter than most pneumatic nailers. Paslode says regular lubrication is not required, and recommends a full cleaning and lubrication every 500,000 shots. Using genuine Paslode nails helps reduce jams and misfires.

Who should buy it: framing crews, general contractors, deck builders, fence installers and remodelers who already run air and want a proven, lightweight 30-degree framer. At 8.4 lb and 19.25 inches long, it is compact enough to work between studs, joists and rafters.
