Brad or finish nailer
I know this question has been asked many times but my story is...
I need to install about 200 sf of the top-nailed (older style, not the tong & groove type) red oak hardwood floor. We were thinking to use just hammers to do that, but it took us 2 days to install 50 sf in the kitchen, with nail head yet to be sunk. So we decide to get a nail gun for the rest of the job. Now the wood strip is 2" wide and 5/16" thick oak, should I use 18 gauge brad nailer with 1" nail? Or should I go for a 16 gauge finish nailer with 1" nail? Thanks in advance, |
