Greeting

This is the first posting...

I am currently installing 3/8" Brazilian Walnut using Bostitch MFN200 manual with 1-1/5" L nail.

I know that the nailer can't be use on 3/8" thickness floor. So I adjusted the height of the nailer to get right position.

It only works 75% and I need to punch the nail to push little more.

So this time, I am trying to use *right* tool to install 1700 sq. floor.

I saw that some recommends PowerNail 50P, but it seems that it's little bit expensive.

Any other nailer that someone can recommend?



I know that there is debate between nailer and stapler.

However, can I use one of these staplers for my project?

Thank you,

Those will work fine.

Also look into...

Senco SL-20-HF
HighPro 4090-AS
PoraNailer 461, or the 465 dual trigger

Or save some money and gain some muscle by using the Powernail 50M, which is the manual version of the 50P. Dont laugh, when I started in this industry, we used finish nails and a hammer so using a manual nailer could be considered a "piece of cake" to that method.
I am not a fan of staples so cant give you an endorsement for using a stapler, although they are widely used in the industry so what do I know?

Thank you for your input! Have a great day!

The bostich laminate stapler is a good choice.
