"A division of Illinois Tool Works (ITW), Paslode is a leading manufacturer and marketer of cordless and pneumatic fastening systems for construction, remodeling and industrial applications. Founded in 1935 by industrialist J.W. Leslie, Paslode introduced the very first pneumatic tool -- a light duty upholstery tacker -- in 1959. Shortly thereafter, Paslode produced the first commercially accepted pneumatic nailer, The Gun-Nailer™, providing the construction industry with a cost efficient way to increase productivity and reduce worker fatigue.
