Senco Releases First Full Round Head Cordless Framing Nailer
Senco has announced that coming later this month, they’ll release their first full round head cordless framing nailer. The Senco F-35FRHXP Framing Nailer joins the already-robust line of nailers, with this cordless model utilizing the proprietary Fusion technology to drive up to 3-1/2 full round head, 20° plastic collated nails.
What is Fusion Technology?
Senco Fusion nailers feature a cordless/pneumatic technology that pressurizes a sealed compressed air cylinder. It lets these battery-powered nailers deliver the speed, feel, and performance of a true pneumatic nailer. It can also handle driving nails fully into the hardest substrates, like LVL. We prefer this technology over the use of a flywheel.
Unlike a flywheel-based nailer, with the Senco F-35FRHXP cordless framing nailer, you won’t have to wait on the tool to ramp up before or between shots. The brushless motor compresses the cylinder, pre-readying the tool for every shot. This opens the nailer up for consistent bump firing performance. And, because you don’t have to contend with fuel cells, the Fusion-powered nailer won’t break the bank or produce fumes.
Side By Side
Senco’s Fusion technology isn’t unique to just the F-35FRHXP. It’s present on other Senco battery-powered nailers. Most recently, it appeared on the Senco F-35XP. That “version” fires 34° clipped-head, paper tape-collated framing nails.

| Fusion Technology | Yes | Yes |

| Nail Capacity | 35 (<2 sticks) | 60 (<2 sticks) |
| Nail Length | 2 to 3-1/2 in. | 2 to 3-1/2 in. |
| Nail Diameter | .113 to .131 in. | .113 to .148 in. |
| Nails per Charge (with 3.0Ah battery) | 600 | 600 |
| Kit Price | $549 | $549 |
The Senco F-35FRHXP features a 20º magazine that can hold up to 35 nails at a time. It fires nails from 2″ to 3-1/2″ long and .113″ to .131″ in diameter.
Like the Senco F-35XP, this nailer can drive up to 600 nails on a single charge of a 3.0Ah Li-ion battery.
Last year, we launched the F-35XP to a great deal of enthusiasm. However, users of plastic collated nails quickly let us know they wanted a full round head version that would work with their preferred fasteners. The F-35FRHXP is the answer to that request and the first expansion of SENCO’s cordless framing nailer line that provides more options to meet our customers’ needs.
