Found a Bostich 15 gauge "DA" style finish nailer -

https://www.bostitch.com/products/tools ... /btfp72155

Will this work in areas I can't use conventional nailer and will the 15 gauge DA style nails work on 3/4" Oak Hardwood flooring with OSB sub floor ?

Thanks,
Ronald

Yes this nailer will hold the flooring dow n. Use 2 inch long nails to get enough penetration into the OSB. Use a 60 degree angle to shoot the nails.

What type of 2" DA nails works best for 3/4 oak hardwood over OSB flooring ?
What features should I look for ?

Some examples I see -

https://www.amazon.com/meite-15GDA2-Deg ... r=8-1&th=1

Thanks,

I prefer the spot nails. I like to have some galvanizing coating the nails. ou only appreciate it when the flooring has been wet. The wood will likely recover when it dries out, but rust stains will turn the flooring black as the nail stains the wood.
