ITW Construction Products, the manufacturer of Paslode and Spit fixing, fastening and gas nailing systems, has announced the winner of its PPN35i nailing game competition.
The competition took place at this year’s Jackson’s Bonanza event, held at the Lincolnshire Agricultural Showground.
The game is based on the Paslode PPN35i Positive Placement gas nailer and participants had to shoot as many nails into the joist hangers displayed on the computer screen within 15 seconds as they could. Alison Rockcliff’s was eventually crowned the winner and took home a Paslode PPN35i Nail Gun as first prize.
The PPN35i is the first cordless positive placement nailer for fixing joist hangers, truss clips and metal connector plates to timber. The Paslode PPN35i nose piece successfully locates the hole, even where joists are spaced only 300mm apart and at angles of up to 35 degrees. When the tool is fired, the probe kicks out of the way, driving the nail into the hole.
