NuMax SFL618 3-in-1 Pneumatic Flooring Stapler/Nailer with White Rubber Mallet by NuMax

Did exactly what I needed it to do

My first time installing hardwood, so I had to buy a flooring nailer. I believe this one is one of the cheapest, but what an excellent tool. Fairly heavy, sturdy, complete with everything you need, including samples of the correct model/size of nails and staples, so you won't buy the wrong ones. Pretty much fool proof. This tool is worth every penny! I had one misfire: the nail got stuck at the front. You just loosen up two screws (yes, the Allen wrenches also came with it), take out the front plate and you have access to the very front of the tool where the nail exits.

If you're going to install a lot of bamboo wood flooring then you'll need this gun! It's cheaper than renting if you'll keep the gun for more than 2 days (and you probably will:) Plus I think it's a good idea to have it handy if you do more or need to replace any flooring. However, you can always resell it. Nails/Cleats - I used the brand "PowerNail" from Home Depot, 1 1/2 inch L-Nail 16 gage Powercleats L 150-16. NOTE that they can ONLY be found in the tool rental department. $16 a box of 1,000. They are in a white box with black lettering and have an image of a flooring nail gun on the box. Jams - only had one and it was very easy to remove the nail without any tools used to open gun. When I first began my project I rented a Bosch nailer from Home Depot and it jammed twice. Both times I had to take it to the store for them to fix it. The last time it took them 20 minutes to remove the nails so I left it there and bought this gun. Air Compressor - I used one that I had bought on Amazon - Porter Cable 6 gallon set at 100 psi. Ease of use - Very easy! I like it better than the Bosch I had originally rented. About me - I'm a female novice daredevil when it comes to home improvement. I love to try my hand at things and save money! This was my first time at installing wood floors and found it to be a bigger project than I expected. It took me 8 solid 9 hour days to remove old carpet, nails, tacks etc and install nearly 1000 sq ft of bamboo - all by myself. Tools I found really helpful to have handy before you start the project: 1. Crowbar - I used this remove goofed up boards and to push them tighter together along drywall. 2. Paint scraper ( I used this thing in more ways than you'd ever imagine) 3. table saw ( this is imperative!) You'll need to know how to use it safely so practice first. I had to buy one at the last minute and spent till 1 AM watching Utube videos on how to put it together and use it without loosing a finger. That's a serious piece of equipment! The reason you need is to cut or "rip" your wood flooring to fit around anything that sticks out in your room or hallway - like pillars, door openings, entrance halls etc. you'll also need it to cut around vent grids and for your final piece if it won't take a whole floor piece. 4. Safety glasses and ear plugs. Seriously, use them. 5. Garbage removal of old carpet and pad - I used a new franchise company called Bin There, Dump That! Great service at a reasonable price. I used a 4 yard dumpster for only $175. I still need to figure out how to make my own transitions because the ones Lumber Liquidators and the big box stores don't have any that will work for my situations. That would actually be another tip I give the DIYer - think about and even buy a couple of transitions so you know how it fit with your situation before you start. There may be an alternative way to end your wood flooring as you approach the other surface. Good luck on your install!!

L'article a bien fonctionné jusqu'à présent sur le sol dans deux pièces. Il est arrivé à temps et en bon état, je suis donc très content de cet achat

This nailer works great and not loosing any points to the higher end nailers. Well built and works as it should. I am very happy with this product and its price!

Great floor nailer! Used it to do three rooms (about 1000sq ft) and it performed great. Only jammed once and was easy to fix. Just remove the bottom plate and pulled the jam out with pliers. Highly recommend for the price!
