Anybody know what the gun is called that installs hardwood flooring?


Â*It's called a "hardwood flooring nail gun" . A 16ga finish nailer does
a good job too , a framing nailer not so much . Use the longest nail the
gun will accept .

The flooring gun makes it a lot easier to get the boards properly
seated together as you activate it with a mallet. Installing hardwood
flooring with a finish nailer would be one HELL of a job, in
comparison!!!

Â* Agreed , a proper nailer makes it easier . But it's just not as
difficult as you seem to think with a finish nailer . Done it both ways ...
