Works like a champ!

I installed 540 Square Feet of hardwood bamboo flooring with this nailer and it never malfunctioned once! I was concerned that I had to spend around $400 to get a good nailer, but this proved me wrong! It performs very well and works with nails that I purchased at a local hardware store. My only criticism is that it is difficult get the foot adjusted properly for the floor thickness and it makes it touchy to line the nailer up on the tongue of each board. Watch this carefully, or you might end up with a nail in the wrong place!

Does the job well

Works well. In the beginning it was splitting the plank about half the time, but after switching the nails it almost never did. The two handles are handy, when switching from kneeling to standing position. One thing to be wary - when plugging the air hose, one nail sticks out and it has to be removed by hand.

Wonderfully surprised

I have laid about 1500 SF of Brazilian Pecan with this nailer. I was a bit skeptical when I purchased it, but I read the reviews and decided to give it a try. It works amazing right out if the box. There are 2 things that are a little annoying though. 1. The grips slide out of place and are very hard to slide back into place, not a huge issue. 2. The chamber for nails only holds one strip at a time, it has to be VERY low to get a second strip to load, so it causes a lot of checking to get the new strip of nails to load. For the money, this nailer is an absolute steal.

Does the job

Just banged out 1500 SF of 9/16 engineered with it. It's not the $500 tool you buy if you do it every day, but it handled this job easily. I would say it's in between Harbor Freight and high end pro tools. If you have a one off job, it's fine. For what I spent I'm very happy.

Worked great.

Installed 1500sq ft of bamboo flooring only jammed once(which was my fault). Oiled it every morning and worked great the whole time.

Great Value

Over 1500+ cleats fired without one problem on over 300 sq. ft. of 3/4" engineered oak. Like the double handle option (tall or short handle). Great value compared to other more expensive makes, and a great option for the non-pro who will only use for a few rooms.

Great nailer-- first time user and it was a breeze.

My husband and I decided to install new hardwood floor throughout the entire house so I've had a good month of using this nailer and it worked great. No issues at all. Easy to use and I was surprised to find that other nailers were at least $100 more.
