Are you looking to buy a Paslode framing nailer? There are two models to choose from: the IM350 Plus or the IM360Ci.
As a Paslode Specialist and Approved Supplier/Service Centre, we can help you choose the best first-fix nail gun for your needs! Read on for our Paslode framing nail gun reviews and a side-by-side tool comparison.
What is a Framing Nailer?
A framing nail gun is used to fix heavy-duty nails into the wooden framework and structures requiring a solid connection. This includes wooden supports in house building, roofing, decking and fencing. A framing nailer is a faster and less fatiguing alternative to a regular hammer, making it ideal for larger projects. It's often referred to as a first-fix nailer.
This is opposed to a finish nailer, which is used to fix shorter, slimmer nails into wooden trim-like skirting boards. This is often referred to as the second fix.

Paslode Framing Nailer Reviews
Paslode IM350+ Review
The Paslode IM350 has been the market-leading tool in timber-to-timber construction for over 30 years! The IM350+ Li-ion is the latest version of the tool. It has all the same great features as the previous models but has been upgraded to Lithium battery technology for even better performance and efficiency! The battery's charging time is cut by 30 minutes for increased productivity, with a battery on/off switch for optimum runtime per charge.
This 1st fix nail gun can be used on wooden materials for various applications, as listed in the table above. It's powered by a gas fuel cell and a 2.1Ah Lithium-ion battery for an outstanding 9,000 shots per charge – more than twice the amount of any other IM350 model! It's compatible with standard Paslode IM350+ RounDrive nails (clipped head) and standard IM350+ gas cells.
The IM350+ Lithium provides an impressive 82 joules of impact force with a delivery rate of 2-3 nails per second. It has a multi-angled teeth nose probe that offers an extra bite to stop the tool from sliding and ensure positive placement. It also has a manageable depth of drive adjustment via a pinch and slide action and a dual-action rafter and belt hook, allowing you to keep the tool within reach.
Compared to the IM360, the IM350 has the lightest weight, most compact size, lowest vibration and lowest noise. It also has excellent balance and a non-slip soft grip handle for increased comfort and control.
Overall, the Paslode IM350+ Lithium is a great framing nailer with excellent power, quick work progress and low user fatigue. The upgraded Li-ion battery technology significantly increases its performance and efficiency, allowing it to take over from the previous IM350+ NiCad model successfully.
Paslode IM360Ci Review
The IM360Ci is Paslode's most advanced 1st fix nailer! Like the IM350, it can be used on wooden materials for various applications, as listed in the table above. It's powered by a gas fuel cell and a 2.1Ah Lithium-ion battery for an unrivalled 13,000 shots per charge! It's compatible with standard Paslode IM360Ci RounDrive nails (full round head) and the manufacturer's innovative NailScrews for increased flexibility. It uses a Series-i gas cell which provides an extra 150 shots than the IM350+ gas cell.
The IM360Ci has the best power-to-weight ratio on the market, with an outstanding 105 joules of impact force. It has an improved aggressive probe for easy access in tight spaces and easy depth of drive adjustment without using tools.
In addition to a battery on/off switch, the IM360 features a 'Start & Go' sensor which automatically cuts off the battery power if there's no movement of the tool for more than a minute. This intelligent, power-saving technology prevents the battery from losing charge when it's not being used for up to 25% more shots per charge! It also has a one-touch LED battery and gas gauge, ensuring you never run out of power unexpectedly.
Overall, the Paslode IM360Ci is unrivalled regarding power and performance. Its intelligent technology significantly increases its efficiency for higher productivity levels than the IM350 Plus.
What's the Best Paslode Framing Nailer?
For optimum power and performance, go with the IM360Ci! It can do everything that the IM350 can do and more. It has the most power and is unmatched in its number of shots per battery charge. Plus, its intelligent features like the power-saving Start & Go sensor and proper battery/gas gauge – something which the IM350 is still sorely lacking – allows the battery to go even further.
A key consideration you need to make is what nails you are using. The IM360 has its own set of nails cheaper than the IM350 nails. This is a great incentive to get an IM360Ci; however, if your nails are supplied by a contractor and IM350 nails are being used on-site, you'll need an IM350+ to fire them.
