Coming Soon: The Game-Changer in Roofing – Paslode’s Innovative RoofTile Nailer
The roofing industry is on the verge of a significant efficiency advance. Set to launch in early autumn 2026, the new Paslode 014011 RoofTile Nailer is a groundbreaking tool designed specifically for the modern tradesperson. This gas-powered, cordless coil nailer is engineered to drive aluminium and copper nails into flat concrete tiles and fibre-cement slates with exceptional speed and precision. It is designed to maximise your investment of time and energy on the job site, enabling roofers to work faster, more safely, and more efficiently.
Key Features Designed for the Trade
The Paslode RoofTile Nailer is designed with features that address the most common roofing challenges:
- Unique Retractable Nose Probe: This precisely locates pre-punched tile holes to ensure accurate fixing placement without damaging the tile.
- Nail Embedment Adjuster: This controls the exact depth to which the nail is driven, ensuring perfect embedment for different tile thicknesses.
- Perfectly Powered: Delivering 30 J of power, it provides enough force to properly drive fixings without risking damage to the materials.
- One-Handed Operation: Because it only requires one arm to operate, users can safely hold the tile in place with their free hand for added comfort and security.
- Cold Weather Performance: British sites can be freezing, but the tool’s 2.1 Ah lithium battery and specialised fuel cells allow users to work in temperatures down to -7°C.
- Dual Belt Hooks: These make for easy tool placement, giving tradespeople the ability to hang the nailer wherever is most convenient.
Lightweight but High-Capacity
Hauling heavy equipment up scaffolding is never ideal, so Paslode has kept the weight down. The nailer weighs just 2.86 kg on its own and a highly manageable 3.1 kg with the battery attached.
Despite the light weight, it boasts an impressive capacity. The plastic-collated nails prevent loose fixings from being dropped around the site. Each coil holds 125 nails, which means roofers are able to fix over 60 tiles before they even need to think about reloading.
Consumables Tailored for the Job
The nailer is designed for pitched and vertical applications, utilising two main types of nails depending on the tile material:
Aluminium Ring Shank Nails (38mm & 45mm):
Ideal for flat, plain and large interlocking concrete tiles.
Copper Smooth Nails (30mm & 38mm):
The perfect choice for fixing fibre-cement slates.
