Paslode NightWolf – power, performance and productivity

Productivity is often lost to small interruptions such as tool stoppages, cold weather misfires, and fatigue from prolonged tool use, especially during overhead work – but not with the Paslode NightWolf framing nailer 

For those reasons, looking at cost alone can overlook the real gains of a well-engineered fastening system designed to keep crews working efficiently. 

The Paslode FrameMaster NightWolf has been designed to address the everyday challenges faced on New Zealand framing sites. 

Its improved balance and ergonomics reduce user fatigue, making it easier to use for extended periods, including demanding overhead work. Internally, NightWolf’s upgraded engine lubrication and refined geometry minimise friction and deliver consistent, sustained power, helping the tool shoot like new for longer. 

NightWolf’s electronic, temperature-controlled fuel injection automatically adapts to changing conditions to ensure reliable firing in both winter cold and summer heat. With 1,500 shots per fuel cell and instant visibility of both fuel and charge levels, teams can plan their workflow smoothly and stay ahead of reloads.  

The integrated eject button keeps changeovers quick and simple, and the updated value packs now require only two fuel cells instead of three, supporting a more streamlined, efficient day on site. And with lower-cost framing nails and fuel compared with the previous Paslode range, NightWolf delivers strong performance while offering better value on every job. 

Why nail quality matters  

Tool performance is only as good as the consumables behind it. Nail quality directly affects firing consistency, depth control and overall maintenance. It also plays a major role in drivability, influencing how smoothly each nail seats into the timber with consistent depth, reduced recoil, and less strain on the tool. This consistency is especially important when fastening laminated timber products such as LVL, where variable density can affect penetration and holding power. 

Paslode’s full range of NightWolf framing nails is BRANZ Appraised and engineered to deliver smoother operation and stronger holding power. Premium collation and coating technologies help keep performance consistent over long production runs and support crews to stay on schedule. And when nails are matched with a tool and fuel system built to the same standard, the gains are even bigger. 

A system built to maintain peak performance 

NightWolf isn’t just a nailer, it’s a complete fastening system where tool, fuel, and nails are designed to work together with precision. 

RFID-enabled fuel tracking ensures accurate pairing and optimal combustion, while matched firing profiles deliver consistent drive performance across changing conditions. Improved lubrication extends service intervals, allowing tools to run for up to 80,000 nails before full maintenance is required. 

The result is a system that delivers reliable power, consistent drivability, and a smoother framing workflow across every stage of the build. 

Why choose Paslode? 

Backed by decades of experience, local service support and premium engineering across every component, Paslode delivers tools that builders can rely on.  

And NightWolf isn’t just a powerful nailer. It’s a reliable, efficient fastening system that keeps crews moving, reduces interruptions, and helps maximise productivity on every job.
