Paslode Collated Brad Nails & Fuel Cells Packs

Paslode Nails and Fuel Packs That Tradespeople Rely On

Paslode is the UK's most trusted brand for cordless nail guns. Their nailers use a gas-powered firing system. This means you always need two things: the right collated nails and a fuel cell.

Paslode nails are collated into strips or coils. This lets them feed smoothly into the nailer magazine. Using the wrong nail type can jam the tool or damage the timber.

The Paslode nail fuel pack combines nails and a fuel cell together. It is the most convenient way to restock on site. Buying nails and fuel together saves time and reduces the risk of running short.

What Are Collated Nails?

Collated nails are nails joined together in a strip or coil. A paper, plastic, or wire weld holds them in sequence. They are loaded into the nail gun magazine as a group.

As each nail is fired, the next one feeds into place automatically. This makes nailing fast and uninterrupted. Collated nails are not the same as loose nails. They are designed specifically for use in nail guns.

For Paslode cordless nailers, you need Paslode-branded collated nails. These are sized and collated to feed correctly in Paslode magazines. Using other brands can cause feeding issues and misfires.

Available Types of Paslode Collated Nails

Paslode makes different nail types for different tasks. Each nail head style and shank type suits a specific use. Here is what you need to know before ordering.

Paslode Fuel Cells Explained

Paslode cordless nailers do not use batteries for firing. They use a small gas-powered fuel cell inside the tool. The fuel cell ignites to drive each nail with consistent power.

Each fuel cell fires approximately 1,100 to 2,000 nails. This varies depending on the nailer model and nail size. When the fuel runs low, firing power drops and misfires can occur.

Always carry a spare fuel cell on site. A Paslode nail fuel pack gives you nails and a fuel cell together. This is the most practical way to keep your nailer running.

Paslode Nail Fuel Pack vs Buying Separately

You can buy Paslode nails and fuel cells separately. But the Paslode nail fuel pack bundles both together. Here is a simple comparison to help you decide.

For most tradespeople, the nail fuel pack is the best value option. It keeps both consumables in sync and avoids running out of either.

Choosing the Right Nail Length for Your Job

Nail length affects holding strength and finish quality. Too short and the nail will not grip properly. Too long and it may split the timber or poke through.

As a general rule, nail length should be two to three times the thickness of the piece being fixed. This gives enough grip in the base timber.
