Reviews Freeman PFBC940 4-in-1 Mini Flooring Nailer/Stapler using 1 5/8-Inch 18 Gauge Nails or Staplers
I bought this Freeman PFBC940 4-in-1 Mini Flooring gun/stapler to install ~700 SF 5/32" engineered hardwood
flooring. It worked great once I had the depth settings adjusted. Much
cheaper than any other flooring stapler I could find. No misfires. Gun
would probably be better on thicker floors though.
Works just as good as my other Freeman flooring nailer. Once I figured that out and set the height, the Freeman PFBC940 4-in-1 Mini Flooring Nailer/Stapler tool worked flawlessly. If the staple is too long the gun wont be able to drive the staple through the flooring and sub-floor. Great quality for the price you pay!
Reviews Akuzuki Top Quality 2-in-1 Pneumatic Hardwood Floor Flooring Air Cleat Nailers and Stapler
This Akuzuki Top Quality 2-in-1 Pneumatic Nailers and Stapler was a great purchase. Used it to install 1200 sq. ft. of 4" oak in
my new home, 600 sq. ft. of 6" Rosewood in a neighbors home, and 1400
sq. ft. of hand scraped Hickory in another. It has several pad that can be used for different thickness of the floorings, which was really good for me. The gun works great.
I seriously considered Bostitch MFN200 Manual Flooring Cleat Nailer, but after a lot of questions to Bostitch and a couple of dealers, I found out that it can be used only fo 3/4" thick floorings. I would recommend this Akuzuki Top Quality 2-in-1 to
anyone. If you have any significant amount of flooring that you cannot
finish in one day, this will pay for itself as renting can cost as much
or more than buying the nailer and a compressor.

Reviews Factory-Reconditioned BOSTITCH U/MIIIFS 1-1/2-inch to 2-inch Pneumatic Flooring Stapler
Factory-Reconditioned BOSTITCH U/MIIIFS Stapler works great! No problems what so ever while
installing 900 square feet of 1 inch red oak flooring. Product looks
and operates like new. The price was half what the "big box" retailers
were selling for.
Factory-Reconditioned BOSTITCH U/MIIIFS 1-1/2-inch to 2-inch Pneumatic Flooring Stapler never jammed, it never misfired. It was a great tool and made
installing the floors a breeze. It's still a lot of work, as you have to
pound the stapler with the hammer each time to fire it, but it's much
easier than doing it manually. The floors look beautiful.
Reviews BOSTITCH EHF1838K Engineered Hardwood Flooring Stapler
Installed 2100 sq. ft of engineered hardwood last week. The BOSTITCH EHF1838K gun performed
perfectly. One comment: the instructions are vague about how to load
the staples. Most guns I have used load from the top. This gun loads
from the bottom, but the manual does not tell you this. I had to call
Stanley-Bostitch to find out how to load the staples.
The adjustable cleat has lots of degrees of freedom, but once I set it
up, it never moved or required any adjustment throughout the job. I
like that the safety won't engage when the clip is empty preventing
dry-fires. The drive depth was consistent from start to finish. I have
an adjustable regulator on the hose end and once I dialed it in, I
never had to touch it even after starting/stopping over multiple
evenings.
Reviews BOSTITCH MIIIFN 1-1/2- to 2-Inch Pneumatic Flooring Nailer
One of the best tools I've used in 20 yrs of carpentry. The shoe sets
the board perfectly. No jams so far after 5 boxes of nails. Couldn't ask
for more.
In the event the board is slightly bowed feel free to swing away and
hammer the board in place. This BOSTITCH MIIIFN 1-1/2- to 2-Inch Pneumatic Flooring Nailer is easy on my carpal tunnel and
for those who aren't ambidexterious it's a snap to use with either hand.
This tool makes laying a hardwood floor almost fun. If you are laying a
prefinished floor, I would also recommend the optional foot (MIIIFOOT). It does take some time getting used to dragging the air hose around
with you, and you definitely need ear protection. But the benefits far
outweigh these nuisances.

Impressive For The Price! Reviews Ramsond RMM4 2-in-1 Air Hardwood Flooring Cleat Nailer and Stapler Gun
This one nails and staples. As a weekend warrior, I used the Ramsond RMM4 2-in-1 Air Hardwood Flooring to
install 1500 square feet of standard 2 1/2" oak strip flooring in two
weekend. Putting L-cleats in strand bamboo with no trouble. Just make sure you
put on the correct plastic foot plate for the thickness of your floor
board, the one that was installed from the factory is for 3/4" to 25/32"
flooring and most flooring in in the 1/2" to 5/8" range, had to change
the plate and she works like a charm.
It's really solidly built and balanced really nicely. Ok the bottome line is you get what you pay for right? Right! This Ramsond RMM4 2-in-1 Air Hardwood Flooring is not expensive by no means but it does what it
claims it could do. The Ramsond could use some design improvements to allow the user to
nail closer to a wall and I'd like to see a safety lever on the handle.
Other than that it was money well spent and I'd recommend this tool to
anyone. Oh, it comes with a decent case too.
Outstanding! Reviews Freeman PFL618BR 3-in-1 Pneumatic Flooring Nailer
I just finished installing 1100 square feet of 3/4 inch oak flooring
using this Freeman PFL618BR 3-in-1 Pneumatic Flooring Nailer. It worked great! I had never heard of Freeman before and bought this flooring nailer
based on reviews & price. I had a couple of false starts trying to
get the first couple of rows straight, but one that was figured out no
problems. Never could have done it without this nailer.
No misfires or hung up nails
(except for a couple when I didn't strike the tool properly). I used L
cleats so I can't verify how the other type of fasteners would work in
this Freeman PFL618BR 3-in-1 Pneumatic Flooring Nailer gun. As a previous reviewer stated, this makes a lot more economic
sense than renting a nailer. I paid Amazon $190, which I think is a
smokin deal!
