Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Bostitch MIIIFN Pneumatic Flooring Cleat Nailer lets you create professional-looking floors quickly and comfortably. Its high-speed pneumatic operation rapidly drives nails into both unfinished and pre-finished hardwood flooring, and its long-grip handle allows you to maintain a comfortable posture when working. Tackling prefinished flooring is no problem with the included adapter foot and the extra-wide base plates that drive staples exactly where you want them.

Whether you’re a professional flooring installer or a weekend do-it-yourself warrior with a load of hardwood flooring staring at you, this nailer is far and away one of the best ways to get the job done.

Yes, it’s spendy, especially if you’re a homeowner just planning to do a couple of rooms. But if you weigh the cost of a professional installation, you come out miles ahead doing it yourself, even with this purchase, and you can work at your own pace instead of rushing a rental back to the store. If price is an obstacle, you might consider a manual nailer; you’ll pay about half as much, but you’ll do more than twice the work!

Professionals love this model, and for good reason. It’s made of aircraft-grade aluminum, so it’s light and strong. Your compressor needs to run between 60 and 100 psi, but best performance came in between 70 and 90 psi. There’s practically no learning curve, so with just a light tap of the mallet, you’ll be cruising along your flooring with 420 inch-pounds of nailing pressure.

The base plates – one is for half-inch planks, the other, ¾-inch -- are nice and wide, giving you rock-solid stability, and the magazine holds 110 fasteners, keeping reloading of your 1-1/2- to 2-inch cleats to a minimum.

We like the long-reach handle, but a shorter version is available, too. If you’re putting down hardwood or engineered flooring, you’d be doing yourself a favor by picking up this nailer. -- Kris Jensen-Van Heste

The Bostitch story
Originally known as the Boston Wire Stitcher® Company, the first syllables of the words "Boston" and "Stitcher" were joined to make "Bostitch®", and the name was adopted for product use after the manufacture of machines began. Thomas Briggs, the founder, invented in 1896 a new kind of user friendly Wire Stitcher designed for fastening books, calendars, checks, hat boxes, etc. This machine made a staple or stitch as it was called from a coil of wire. It was called the Boston Wire Stitcher and the company was named the Boston Wire Stitcher Company. In 1903 the company invented a foot operated stapling machine that used pre-formed staples. These staples were not collated but had to be slid off of a track into the magazine of the machine. Later they were collated with paper and then glue. Soon the Boston Wire Stitcher Company was developing various kinds of staplers for industrial markets. In 1930 the Bostitch® Sales Company was formed to sell Bostitch® products, and in 1948 the Boston Wire Stitcher Company officially became Bostitch®, Inc. The first Coil Nailer from Bostitch, the N2, came on the scene in 1965, and the rest is history. Today, Bostitch sells a huge range of nailers, compressors, and other products, and is a leader in the industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pneumatic Palm Nailer February 27, 2002

By D. Beach

I recently retired and have undertaken a project to build a woodworking shop-garage. Swinging a hammer has become a very tiresome chore, and I was considering the purchase of a framing nailer. Upon reviewing information from various manufacturers, I realized that a framing nailer is a very specialized tool.
However, I happened to run across information about palm nailers. In reviewing the information provided by Amazon, I read that a palm nailer can be used for nailing any size nail and in many different applications. I could see where this would be a more useful tool than a framing nailer. I purchased the Bostitch PN100 kit, and immediately started using it with 16d nails in framing my new shop. I then used 10d nails in decking the roof. All I can say is this nailer is wonderful!! It drives nails quickly, at any angle, and in a limited amount of space. You do have to be careful to make sure that the alignment of the nail with the nailer is correct; if not, bent nails will result. However, with just a little practice, nailing becomes an effortless operation. I would recommend this as a general purpose nailer to anyone. I might also add that I own a brad nailer and a roofing nailer made by Porter Cable, and a 1/4 inch crown stapler, and the Bostitch nailer works as well as any of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb product and exceptional value! April 4, 2011

By G. mica

THis product is lightweight, well balanced, and has a soft rubber grip. There are a lot of finishing nail guns in the $20-50 range, after a lot of searching around I opted for this one. I have owned a few other brands some costing more and some less..generally after thousands of nails some problems would arise.. this is normal wear and tear and its easier to purchase a new and reliable gun over rebuilding the many seals and pistons in the gun.
My first option was to purchase a rebuilt Bostitch or similar high dollar gun - I decided against that seeing how many of the guns took beatings under the abuse of contractors.
Next I ruled out Chicago because the body seemed flimsy and prone to leaks at the main valve seal.Previously owning a Central Pneumatic unit (which comes with a case for the same price) the only reason I didnt buy another is the saftey is bulky and prone to getting bent out of shape. The gun then doesnt fire as easily, and you have to make sure the tip is pressed AND the safety is satisfied.
This gun has good reviews all around, solid construction, and it shoots Brad nails upto 2" (all the way down to 1/2"). No case included and I would replace the air inlet adapter with quality one. Oil frequently.

5.0 out of 5 stars update August 28, 2012

By jerry b

Amazon Verified Purchase

This is an update. Have used my nail guns and can't say enough good about them. I was able to get all the needed staples, brads,finish nails,framing nails. Was able to get all of them at orchard supply no problem.I had a project I wanted to do after recieving the nail gun set.I was able to use my finish nailer and the framing gun.I test fired the brad and staple gun also. These babys are great. I don't think buying the big name guns justify the big price when you can do as good with this great set. Like I have stated before I now do as much business with Amazon as possible.The prices are great and the service is #1. You do need air to run these guns but don't seem to be real demanding for air.I'm doing projects around my home now that I have put off.There is nothing better then having the right tool and do it yourself not to speak of the money you save doing it yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily one of my favorite power tools February 20, 2009

By Tim in Mint Hill

I purchased this particular item because of its better range of brad sizes it can handle, and the Porter Cable name, good reviews, etc.
I have been using this nailer quite often, and am now left with several boxes of finish nails I will likely never use again. No more getting the nailsets out to bury a finish nail down on a piece of trim, etc.
The options for using this are endless. Just last night, I needed to make a couple wood boxes to hold scrap in my workshop area, and had some scrap 3/8" plywood, perfect for the boxes. Using this nailer, I could quickly apply a little glue, between corners of the box, and shoot a couple brads in and done. Can't do that with finish nails on plywood without splitting out alot.
Great tool, highly recommended, easy to handle.
