A pneumatic floor nailer, in die-cast aluminum, offers a perfect multi tool to drive staples at the proper depth and angle.
A pneumatic flooring nailer is often a tool suited to both professionals on multiple onsite duties to a do-it-yourself enthusiast's intent on saving on labor costs on tongue and groove flooring by self-completing a home improvement project. A definite tool to invest in for medium to large sized flooring assignments.
A 3-in-1 nailer is ideal for complete flexibility, with an ability to shoot staples, L-cleats or T-cleats from a single magazine, without a need to keep changing or reloading, and can come complete with interchangeable floor plate to complete projects on different floor thicknesses.
If a nailer should jam in operation, its often a quick a simple process to clear, with easy access to open the latch clip. A floor nail gun of this nature has a capacity to hold 150 – 200 nails, so more time is spent nailing and less on reloading, while a adjustable, non-marring base plate is perfect to install hardwood floors at ½-inch to ¾-inch with ease.
Common features to a pneumatic floor nailer include an air chamber for rapid cycling with 80 – 120 PSI, accepts either face or angle nails, drives nails or cleats into multiple floor thicknesses (1/2-inch, 5/8-inch, ¾-inch and 25/32-inch), and for comfort in operation - a padded grip with and long reach handle often features.
A quality hardwood-flooring stapler comes pre-package with rubber-capped mallet, face nail shoe, oil, hex keys (various sizes), safety glasses, instructional DVD, and impact resistant case. While the actual cleats or nails are widely available in most good DIY or hardware stores, come in boxes of 1,000 or more, and retails in the region of $12.99 - $20.
Multifunctional pneumatic floor nailers are perfect for tongue or face nailing, offers a generous magazine load, and adapts to a variety of floor thicknesses.
