Bostitch


We're in the process of installing 1000sq ft of prefinished oak flooring so I bought the Bostitch MIIIFOOT-KIT Factory Finish Flooring Adaptor to use with the Bostitch MIIIFN 1-1/2- to 2-Inch Pneumatic Flooring Nailer which I was ordering. It turns out that the nailer already includes the factory-finished flooring adapter. If you already own the Bostitch MIIIFN 1-1/2- to 2-Inch Pneumatic Flooring Nailer or the Bostitch MIIIFS 1-1/2-Inch to 2-Inch Pneumatic Floor Stapler AND do not have this adapter, then you will want to order this kit for installing factory-finished flooring.



If you are buying a new Bostitch MIIIFN 1-1/2- to 2-Inch Pneumatic Flooring Nailer or Bostitch MIIIFS 1-1/2-Inch to 2-Inch Pneumatic Floor Stapler check the item description carefully as this kit may already be included. Bostitch MIIIFOOT-KIT Factory Finish Flooring Adaptor

I never used the tool without having this part on it so can't tell you how IMPROVED it was. I will say that it worked well. Only missed on staple (put it right in the top of the board) so I quite for the day. THis flooring was easy to damage so I think this did very well.

This flooring adapter was purchased as an add on for a reconditioned Bostitch flooring stapler. It does what is says it does, protect the finish and the tongues of your pre-finished flooring. The wide base makes it easy to use you foot to stabilize the stapler from "bounce back". I found that the recommended method of tapping in the flooring using the area to either side of the foot didn't work as well as using a scrap piece of hardwood with the tongue cut off. This worked especially well when two people worked together.



Again, it works fine and is as advertised.'
