Doesn't sit stably on tongue and will rotate slightly if the strike with the mallet is not dead center. This can damage the floor as the force from the nailer is directed to a single corner.

I installed 540 Square Feet of hardwood bamboo flooring with this nailer and it never malfunctioned once! I was concerned that I had to spend around $400 to get a good nailer, but this proved me wrong! It performs very well and works with nails that I purchased at a local hardware store. My only criticism is that it is difficult get the foot adjusted properly for the floor thickness and it makes it touchy to line the nailer up on the tongue of each board. Watch this carefully, or you might end up with a nail in the wrong place!

Works well. In the beginning it was splitting the plank about half the time, but after switching the nails it almost never did. The two handles are handy, when switching from kneeling to standing position. One thing to be wary - when plugging the air hose, one nail sticks out and it has to be removed by hand.

Just banged out 1500 SF of 9/16 engineered with it. It's not the $500 tool you buy if you do it every day, but it handled this job easily. I would say it's in between Harbor Freight and high end pro tools. If you have a one off job, it's fine. For what I spent I'm very happy.

Completed over 1600 sq feet with no major problems. Jammed a few times but unjamming it only a few steps. Money well spent

My husband and I decided to install new hardwood floor throughout the entire house so I've had a good month of using this nailer and it worked great. No issues at all. Easy to use and I was surprised to find that other nailers were at least $100 more.

This is a really good nailer. I installed 1,000sq ft of fossilized bamboo that was T&G nail down. I really like this nailer, easy to use and reliable. With any nailer, need to setup your air pressure to the nails and flooring you are using. I did have three planks during the entire job where I thought the nailer was lined up and it drove a nail straight into the plank and not the tongue; my fault, not the nailer. Just be aware that can happen! Overall recommend.

So far this thing has been solid. I am using it to install 9/16 thick oak engineered hardwood. The tool feels to be made of good quality. I had one jam, but it was my fault as my compressor dipped in pressure.I have been operating the gun at 50psi on the tool line.ONE SUGGESTION: I found that installing a swivel adaptor allows you to get the nail gun closer to the wall, so you can shoot an additional row or two, where you might have had to hand nail. The standard straight air line attachment can obstruct the device from getting in close when you couple with a line.
