Which Flooring Nailer to Buy

Oct 01, 2006 2 Replies

Partial newbie question here. I'm installing 840 sq ft of 3/4" hardwood flooring. I've looked into renting and have decided to buy a pneumatic flooring nailer. My brother will use it after me and we can split the cost, so that makes the $$$ worthwhile.



The question is... Which nailer to buy? I've seen and read some positive things about Porter Cable and Stanley Bostitch. Anyone have first-hand experience with one or more of the top brands for this specialty tool?



We're interested in high quality, ease of operation, reliability and value (rather than simply price). All input welcome.

Neither.

Check out a Porta-Nails 421 if you can.
