Customer Reviews
Very Satisfied
I am very satisfied with this nailer. I laid about 450 square feet of 3/4″ floor and had zero problems. Other reviews mentioned concerns with the last nail firing erratically…Several times I fired the last nail with no problem, other times, the last nail just dropped out before I had the chance to nail it. A carrying case would be nice, but, if you’re not using it on a regular basis, it’s just as easy to store it in the box it comes in. Overall, I am completely satisfied with the product and would definitely recommend it to others.
Works flawlessly
After laying 480 square feet of bamboo and about 250 square feet into a 900 sq ft oak project, this nailer hasn’t had a single mistep. I’ve assisted in putting down hardwood before, but this is my first personal project. I’m not able to work straight through to completion (to many interuptions)so renting a nailer would have rapidly cost more than purchase. Nobody I talked to recommended a manual nailer, especially considering they aren’t exactly cheap either. However, the prices on many of the recommended power nailers seemed very high for something I may only use for about 2000 square feet of floor; and I never sell tools, no matter how seldom they’re used. After reading the reviews here, I decided to go with the Porter-Cable and am very glad I did. I used 2 inch Bostich nails and 75 PSI. I never let the tool run out of nails and have had zero problems.
FCN 200 Floor Nailer
I have purchased this nailer to install 3/4″ Bruce hardwood in my house and have had a good experience with it. It will accept Stanley Bostich cleat nails which I found to be very convenient. The only problem I had was it wouldn’t always drive the nails all the way in. After I turned the pressure up to about 85 pounds, I haven’t had that problem since. If you do run into this problem, the best way to remove the nail is to grab it with plyers and swist it back and forth until it breaks off. I would recommend this nailer to anybody.
