Paslode introduced the very first pneumatic tool, a light duty upholstery tacker, in 1959. Shortly afterwards, Paslode produced the first commercially accepted pneumatic nailer providing the construction industry with a cost efficient way to increase productivity and reduce worker fatigue.

In 1986, Paslode reinforced its position as an industry innovator by introducing the first cordless power framing nailer, the Impulse®, offering the power of a pneumatic without hoses. Still widely considered the industry standard, the Impulse features a patented combustion motor that provides freedom from compressors and cords allowing greater safety, maneuverablity and versatility.

The popularity of the Impulse framing nailer led Paslode engineers to develop yet another inventive cordless nailer in 1991, the IM250. Designed for trim applications, this cordless finish nailer offers a durable yet lightweight design making it easy for use in tight spaces.

An enhanced pneumatic nailer, the PowerMaster™, was introduced in 1995. With its lightweight design and offering more power per pound than competing models, the PowerMaster defined an entirely new generation of pneumatic nailers.
