The 2" cleats were great floor nailing down the bamboo flooring the we had. We could not be happier. We had no problem with the cleats going in straight and feeding throught the nailer. The porter Cable nailer is also an awesome piece of equipment. I would reconmend it to all. The price of the cleats was very fair and reasonable. Bostitch FLN-200 2-Inch Flooring L-Nail, 1000-Per Box
As to quality---they are nails. Good nails. But buy them through Amazon. They cost nearly twice as much in the home-center type stores. And the smaller hardware stores often do not carry flooring fastners. I am using these in a Ramsond floor nail gun and they work fine.
I used these to secure down 3/4" thick Bruce Oak hardwood floors, they penetrate the flooring and the 3/4" subfloor with approx. 1/4" protruding below the subfloor. They hold very tight which is perfect. No complaints with these nails.
I used these nails to install 3/4" maple & brazilian cherry hardwood floors at my house. I've used about 1.5 boxes so far and no jams. Only one nail was bent and didn't go through the cherry. That happened to be the last nail in the nailer so I think that's more of a problem of the nailer instead of the nail. Now I put a new row of nails in before it runs out in the nailer. No bent nails had happened since then and it also protect the nailer from dry firing.
Great product.
It's cheaper at amazon than my local HomeDepot.
I used these nails to install a tongue and groove pine floor. As far as a nail goes they are pretty typical. I guess one way to evaluate them would be to say that they didn't jam my nail gun, which is something that frequently happens with my air stapler and some types of staples. The floor is about 6 months old and the nails seem to be holding fine.
Bought these Bostitch nails at the same time I bought the Bostitch Pneumatic floor nailer on Amazon. Nails came very quickly but nailer never came. Lots of excuses from Amazon and CSN but never got the nailer. Notified price of nails went down after order came. Price of Bostitch nailer went up $300. Can not say as to how they work as I have no way of using them without a nailer. Looks like the best use for them might be a paper weight. Amazon has went down a little bit in my eyes as they did not respond to what I thought was a "Bait and Switch" scheme. Just a lot of different excuses from Amazon and CSN.
This is by far the best price I have seen for these nails. I did have to return the first shipment because it wasn't packaged properly and the nail strips were all broke apart, but they paid for return postage and shipped a new box out right away. - Hardwood Floor Nailer - Pneumatic Floor Nailer - Fasteners - Hardwood Flooring Nailer'
