Product Description

Pneumatic Flooring Nailer for installing hardwood floors between 1/2 - 3/4 inches thick. Used by many contractors and DIY floor installers this tool works well for all skill levels. The sturdy long handle allows for great control and keeps you from breaking your back. The nail magazine holds 100 floor nails, and nail length can vary between 1 1/2" to 2" depending on what you need. The air inlet is standard 1/4". Air consumption is low at 4.5 CFM and allows you to use a small compressor. Input pressure should be controlled between 60 and 100 PSI. With a little practice this tool will allow you to lay hundreds of square feet per day. Depending on the type of wood you will need to vary the input pressure. Bamboo is very hard and brittle and requires a low pressure to prevent damage. Teak and some other very dense hard woods will require 100 PSI. You should test on a piece of scrap plank to make sure you are getting good results. The pneumatic flooring nailer is used by placing it on the edge of a piece of hardwood flooring. The included mallet is then used to strike the actuator and fire the nail in. The most difficult part of the process is just moving the pneumatic flooring nailer around. Include in the kit is a Carrying Case, Pneumatic Flooring Nailer , Safety Glasses, Air Tool Oil, Base Plate, S3 Hex Key S4 Hex Key S5 Hex Key Wrench, and Instruction Manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Nailer July 7, 2011

By Mary and Dan

I bought this tool to put in 900sq feet of strip oak flooring. After putting 400sq, I must say I'm very happy with my purchase. It comes with a nice case, hammer, safety glasses and face/blind nailing attachments. When you do a job (any job) the tools you use can make or break the project. Using this nailer has been a pure utter joy. This is a no brainier. The cleat sits on the sub floor and against the tongue. A simple tap on the trigger and slam-BAM done!

This was my first attempt at installing hardwood floors. Purchasing a nail gun was a top priority. The market is limited but the few nailers out there all come with high marks. I chose this particular model based upon the few excellent reviews on this forum. The gun sits easily and quickly each time. The different types of nails/staples/ cleats receive their own praise. This Hard Core nailer is a tough find and I have not been able to find anyone that stocks it, other than Sterlingtek on Amazon. The gun has worked flawlessly, and comes in a complete package. Just tapping the gun is enough, no need to slam. Works great each time and have installed about 1000 sq feet without a single problem. Great purchase and was jumping for joy at the price, it was a lot cheaper then the ones at our local Home Depo or renting one.
