PowerMaster Plus 400 Framing Nailer Review

This framing nailer from Paslode is a powerful tool that will drive 4-in. nails

By Rick Arnold, Mike Guertin

This stick nailer is big but not too heavy. It features a 30-degree collation angle. A powerful tool, it will drive 4-in. nails. Depth is adjusted with an Allen screw, and an on-board wrench is provided. A sequential trigger can be changed out easily.
