As previously mentioned, the first and last two rows will probably need to
be face nailed due to clearance problems.

Can you tell me if this wil work for layign about 500 square feet of
3/4 inch solid flooring? It says it will do 1/2 and 25/32. DOes this
mean it wont do 3/4? I have never heard of 25/32 flooring.- Hide quoted text -

I actually have a finish nailer air operated but have not used it in
several years. I used it for basboards years back. Is it better to use
this to face nail the first few boards or to go by hand?
