I have a coupon to get this pretty cheap:
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=99640

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.

If it handles flooring 1/32" over 3/4, it should handle 3/4 just fine.

Look at it this way, if it doesn't do the job and you have to rent for a
day, you're still cheaper than buying a bostich pneumatic.

My problem is it will take me many days due to time constraints.

How does this thing work? It uses air, but you still have to hit with
a hammer?

When you whack the nailer with the mallet the tongue is driven into
the groove of the previous board and then the cleat is driven through
the next tongue securing the new board to the floor. Air helps with
the second part and gives a consistent depth of nailing with minimal
splitting caused by an off-center blow or repeated blows.

The hammer is the trigger. You hit with hammer, nail goes in.

Pneumatic means you don't have to hit as hard as manual.

Given the number and type of questions you're asking, I think I lot of
research is in order.

That is why I am asking the questions:

One thing I noticed in the directions it says: "The nailing machine
MUST HAVE a protective foot attachment to prevent edge bruising and
finish damage. Use one of the following: Stanley Bostich (multiple
models with millifootkit Powernailer with nailershoe, etc."

Does the harbor freight one have what this is tlakign about? I am not
sure what it means.

It is referring to a plastic shoe to prevent damaging a prefinished
floor. You will probably have to check it out in person to see. It does
seem to have plastic strips under the base, which may be part of the
system, but it should also have a plastic strip on the dropped edge that
slams against the edge of each board. The better units like the Bostitch
or Powernailer have an optional, large plastic shoe that snaps over the
base.

Look at this Bostitch nailer, click to get a bigger picture, the shoe is
that unattached plastic piece:
