Flooring Installation - hardwood flooring nailer


I bought this tool because my husband was taking too long to get our remodeling job done on his own. So I thought maybe I would show him how fast it could actually get done. This came to me within 2 days which was very fast shipping just in time to start the job over the weekend. I decided I was going to give this a try to see if I could impress my husband on the fact that I could do the flooring. I was able to get 600 sq ft done before he came home and it was no problem at all. This Hard Core nailer was so simple to use and made everything so easy. My husband was very impressed what I had done and that it was done flawless since I had never done this before. I let him finish the job while I went shopping. Ladies don't wait around for him to do the job DIY! Hardwood Flooring Nailer for Installing Wood Floors

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.

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!

I am a wood-turner that until now has never installed hardwood floors. I had the occasion to help with an installation at a dance studio and decided from that to install a hardwood floor on an addition I had planned. While searching for a pneumatic floor nailer I found this one, and after reading the reviews decided to give it a try. I was happy I did. It performed much better than the one we used for the studio and at a portion of the cost. I would like to also mention the delivery time was great. I saved more than what it would have cost me to rent one for the job and I have it to help friends and family. What a deal.

I was hesitant to buy this as I really wasn't sure because I was getting it for my dad to help him out. But my mom told me it worked flawless for him and he was more then happy to have it. She also reported that they got it shipped extremely fast without any problems. He's decided to put down hardwood flooring in another Room now because the first one was so easy. - Hardwood Flooring Nailer'
