Hi!

I'm doing my own floor install and have ordered a Bostitch MIIIFS.

I have 3 1/4" Oak that will be going over 3/4" OSB. (staples or cleats?)

Can anyone recommend the compressor I would need to do the job properly?

Someone at home depot said that you can just use the minimal $99 one. But I wanted to check with you guys first.

Thanks!

I prefer staples, some guys prefer cleats.
Any construction compressor will do that reaches 70-80 psi, which most will do, except those little airbrush units. I have a Porter Cable oiless pancake, love it.
