Paslode has responded to a genuine gap in the market with the new PPN35i - the first cordless positive placement nailer for fixing metal connector plates to timber. The PPN35i can help improve the quality of the installation; is significantly quicker and far less painstaking than traditional methods - saving both time and money on site.
The PPN35i nose piece has been designed to locate holes in connector plates at angles of up to 35 degrees to ensure correct positioning, even in difficult to reach areas. The NHBC requires every hole in a metal connector plate to be fixed. As the PPN35i magazine holds a strip of 23 hardened twisted nails, this can be done quickly and effectively.
"The PPN35i really does offer a new solution to a genuine problem users face on-site” said Anthony Marsh Head of Marketing from Paslode. “It makes a painstaking task quicker and easier and from a safety perspective helps avoid injury.”
When compared to using hammer and nails the tool achieves significant cost savings for the contractor - on average £70 per job (using 3000 nails) - as it’s less labour intensive. This means the tool actually pays for itself after just six working days use, so switching to a gas nailer benefits the contractor all round.
The new PPN35i nailer weighs in at 3.9kg and is powered by an intelligent electronic fuel injection system giving the ultimate reliable performance. By delivering the exact dosage of fuel required at any given temperature the PPN35i can achieve a working threshold of between -15°C and + 49°C.
The PPN35i is suitable for fixing joist hangers, truss clips, metal straps, L-brackets and Z-clips. For further information about the new Paslode PPN35i click here.
