I was worried that the nailer would take to long to get and I would have to rent one to get the job done. The instructions were not good but the tool works extremly well for the money!

Overall I am very pleased with the performance of the nuematic floor nailer I purchased. For a first time at installing a hardwood floor, the nailer was easy to use and understand. The manual was a little hard to follow and was photo copy quality, but I could figure it out. Figuring out the right fastners was a little difficult (passload cleats work well) I would have liked to have some brand name recomendations from the product specs. Other than that the tool has worked very well and the price was reasonable for a do-it-yourself project. It has saved me money over renting, as I can work at a slower pace when I have time

It looks like it is in good condition. It will be nice if the gun can come with nail. It only take a day for the product to come to my place, which is impressive.

I purchased this nailer to install 1500 square foot of 3/4 solid walnut for a customer. Rental fees would have exceeded the cost to purchase this nailer and based on the reviews, it seemed like a decent choice (and it was about the only type of nailer I didn’t own yet…). Nailer arrived within a couple days. Case is nice and contains most everything needed to maintain the tool. Tool even comes with an industrial standard air fiting installed.

It drove nearly every cleat perfectly and I only had one jamb that was caused by my lightly bumping the striker (which will partially drive a fastener) and then striking it for real – jamb was easily cleared by removing one plate with the tools provided. I used only Bostitch cleats.

I noticed that it didn’t sit perfectly flat on the flooring with the base plate provided so I added a shim made from high pressure laminate (Formica) between the base plate and the nailer. The addition of that shim made the nailer sit perfectly on the wood. I didn’t use it without but it shouldn’t make too much of a difference.

The mallet provided with my nailer was very good and I had no problems with it at all as some of the others reported.; maybe they got the word. I did use it hard and for the entire 1500 sq. ft.

Now, the one flaw. I read some other reviews where they stated that the nailer started leaking air. This one did too but only intermittently. It would sometimes bleed a little air when the safety trigger remained compressed between shots. The leaking air did not affect the ability to drive fasteners at all and came and went about three times per room – not a big deal but a bit annoying. I did not rebuild the nailer with the o-rings provided. Figured I wait until it really didn’t work.

I would recommend this nailer for the serious DIYer or the occasional flooring install for a remodeling contractor like myself.

After renting a nail gun locally over the past year and installing Oak, Hickory and Bamboo in our house, I decided that it made sense to buy rather then rent. So we do not have to rush the job and get the nailer back to the rental shop. One Sunday we stayed up until 3am so we could finish the flooring installation and get the nail gun back in time Monday morning.

I ordered the Akuzuki floor stapler and nail gun. It is easy to use and you can load both staples or nails/cleats and use on different sizes of flooring I.E. 5/8 or 3/4. I have used it to install Maple and the only problem I had with it was that it left small indentations on the wood from the base plate. I found that I might have been putting too much weight on the base plate with my foot to hold it in place and keep it from rebounding. I also put some duct tape on the hard plastic base plate to soften it a bit. That seemed to work.

In the end I am very pleased with this nail gun and now I can start a project when I want and can avoid the time, gas and hassle of going to a rental shop. I still have some bamboo, mahogany and more maple to install so I am hoping.
