floor nailer what is best to use?
What are the best nailers to use , the nail or staple version? What are the pros & cons? What are some good brands ? I have seen no name brands on ebay that are under $200. are they any good? i have abotu 1,000 sf to do thank you
I use to rent a floor nailer whenever I put in tongue and groove flooring. I rented several different professional brands. I found the staple style floor nailers gave me a lot less aggravation and grief. The cleat nailers were a pan in the butt! They'd tear up a floor plank if they miss fired and you had to try and get them out. A staple you snip it off and tap in the prongs.
I started getting enough work installing floors, specifically Bamboo Flooring, that I decided to buy my own floor nailer. Renting them was about $25 a day and I usually had to split this cost with my customer. So I was out some money at the end of a job.
I bought a Grizzly pneumatic nailer (H7826 Flooring Nailer) from Grizzly.com. It was around $200 which was about half the cost of other "name" brands. I bought it as one to get until I could afford a Bostitch one. Turns out I bought a really good one after all. I've laid roughly 3500 SF of bamboo flooring with this nailer over the last 4-5 months without a problem.
I don't lay flooring everyday. I use this periodically when I get a job laying flooring. So I can't say how well it would perform on a daily basis. But when I do use it, it gets a 8-10 hr day work out for 4-5 days at a time.
I'd heard that Grizzly has excellent tools. I know a couple of people who make musical instruments (guitars, mandolins, dulcimers) for a living and they swear by their tools. They make up the bulk of the equipment in their woodworking shops.
