My first pneumatic...oh the memories!

Yup, that's an old gal right there.:notworthy We were using the old battle armor Paslodes in 86. They were great for sub-floor installs. No maul required.:laughing: I really like the NR83A though, blasts through PSL and LVL no problem. Timberstrand is another animal.

I remember starting out in 1984. I was working for a company that had 7 man crew, and 3 nailers. All the nailers were the dinosaur paslode tanks. We hand nailed a lot back then. Nowadays, I would probably go home early rather than have to hand nail. I just started using my new paslode framer yesterday. it loads like the senco does. So far, I have not gotten comfortable with it.

Did you find that down with the wreck of the Titanic? LOL...

It's amazing what 20 years of technology looks like, huh?

I have one of the old senco framers that weigh like 20 pounds, its huge.
I bring it along for nailing into old timbers, it will sink it almost every time.

Those old stick nailers were top heavy,and could never be hung on a tool belt.

I still have my first Roofing stapler from 84'.
I only held on to it because I have a full box of staples.
I may find a use for it someday.

Even has the old automatic oiler attached.

Who has made this curiosity?

my first nailgun was a paslode mustang trim nailer. hmmm havent seen it in around 15 years come to think of it

Believe it or not, we still use 2 of that style of duo fast guns. They are heavy but i think they work better than the newer style of duo fast gun. All of our guns are fixed by our fastener salesman( who is a duo fast rep.) at no charge as long as we bu nails from him.

Model # 00000000001

I also had an old duo fast that looked just like that. It was tough as heck and shot with authority! We called it the pterodactyl.
