The Best attributes to Look for in a Top-notch Floor Nailer
When you find that your in the market for a floor nailer, there are a plethora of attributes that you should look in your tool purchase. When you go to your local tooling supply house or a large do-it-yourself warehouse there are so many pneumatic floor nailers and standard style nailers to choose from, choosing the right one for your needs can seem quite difficult. On my own flooring projects I have used hand-operated style flooring nailers and air style pneumatic flooring nailers. In this piece we will refrain from suggesting any particular brand. On my website, I have product reviews for various brands and extra installation advice so I won’t get into specific brand recommendation here in this discourse. We will look at standard flooring nailers first. Standard flooring nailers take a little more effort when you strike the nail actuator with the mallet but one of the amazing advantages with this type of nailer is that you don’t need to set up an air compressor which means that this type of flooring nailer can be transported from room to room without needing to pull an air hose around and deal with totting around air compressors. I typically use this classification of nailer to do tighter projects especially when I need to move from one area to another a lot. One good example of this is when you need to move from room or from the first floor to the second floor for tighter quick little sections on flooring. When trying out a floor nailer, be sure to check the generic construction of the body of the nailing gun. Look to see that the nail driving workings are properly constructed; some of the shabby models you can tell utilize cheaper metal in the driving mechanism and also cheap pot metal in the body of the unit. Any flooring nailer that shows these types of signs should be avoided. The typical flooring nailer uses compressed air in the range of 70- 120 PSI. I personally prefer flooring nailers that use large capacity magazines so that you don’t need to reload the gun as often. In addition to that, it’s also useful to pick a gun that uses a well constructed base that sits well against the flooring surface securely without collapsing over. That way, the flooring nailer is pleasure to use and contend with while you’re do the install. The surface of the base should be smooth so that it doesn’t potentially scratch the surface of the flooring. The way that the gun fits against the planking is also very crucial. You should take some planking and set it on the floor and see how the base of the gun sits against the finish surface. This is an extremely important point that several floor nailer pneumatic guns have done better than bad designs. The importance of this is that if the gun sits against the flooring very properly which ensures that you get consistent nailing and correct depth of the nail or staple each and every time.
