 No Pneumatic Needed August 31, 2010
K. Klein (Ligonier, PA USA)
I'm a do it your selfer who had about 800 sq ft of 2 1/2 wide 3/4 inch thick flooring to install. This was a remodel, so Half of the floor was going over 3/4 plywood and the other half was going over an older oak hardwood floor. I was worried that the nails may not sink into the hardwood subfloor, but the cleats sunk in like butter. I had even bought a backup pneumatic and kept it in the unopened box, just in case the manual one didn't work, but after a day of sinking the nails into the hardwood, I returned the pnematic one.
I was really impressed with this unit. When you're driving in tight spaces, it sometimes takes two or three blows to sink the nail fully, and the way the unit works, it allows you to easily see when the first or second blow didn't drive all the way. When this happens the piston you strike does not return fully to the up position. I'd say 75% of the time, one strike worked fine. 20% two strikes were needed, and about 5% required a third tap.
The unit I purchased was also reconditioned and I never had a single issue with it. Through the entire job, which took a solid six days, I never had a single jammed nail to remove.
This was my first attempt at 2 1/2 inch nailed down flooring and I never would have guessed it would be so labor intensive. I thought it would take a weekend, and I spent six solid days. Probably averaging six hours per day. About half of the time, I had someone to help me, which really is recommended.
One other note for DIYers. I just read an article comparing the L-cleats this gun uses with the staples used by some pnematics, and the L-cleat is recommended because they allow for expansion and contraction without getting loose. The staples will loosen and eventually create squeaks.
Recon'd but just like new! August 27, 2010

I could not be more pleased with this flooring nailer. It arrived and I promptly installed about 400 sq.ft of 2 1/4 x 3/4 solid hardwood. This tool performed flawlessly. I buy reconditioned whenever I can. It appeared to be brand new!
Too much work July 22, 2010
Kay Davenport (O'Fallon, MO United States)
There is a reason this is a MANUAL nailer...it requires much effort to drive the nail into the hardwood. We were installing the thicker hardwood in 2 large rooms....it would have taken forever, and our arms would have been worn out by the time we finished that. Good price, but definitely worth spending more on a power nailer, especially for larger projects.
 worked great for 300 sq then ratcheting mechanism broke July 15, 2010
bob
Worked great for 300 sq ft and then ratcheting mechanism broke. The cleat will not seat completely into the tongue. The nailer is descibed as "durable enough for the professional" and "incredibly well-made". Not the one I received.
