Excellent Tool
By T. J. Donovan
An excellent tool for installing hardwood flooring, especially a sand in place floor. I suggest getting the wider softer shoe kit for laminates and engineered hardwoods to prevent scratches in the finish. I am 2000 square feet into this nailer with no jams, but I use cleats from Primatech out of Canada, the glue holding the clips together is stronger and more flexible than the PortaNails cleats, they stay in one strand rather than breaking up, making loading much quicker. Being a general contractor and not a flooring contractor means my nailer will only see occasional use rather than e everyday, I believe this to be the perfect balance between cost and quality!

Excellent nailer Works perfectly
By M. Webb
I just installed 4500 square feet of 3/4" thick hickory with this and did not have a single jam. I used app 16,000 nails on this job and consider this excellent. The handle on this nailer is taller than most nailers and more comfortable to use. The magazine holds 100 nails and is very quick to load.This is much faster to use than the other Porta nails manual nailer that I own. I will never go back to the manual version.One note this model is the updated 470A model and not the 470 as advertised. The 470A has a better mallet and the taller handle than the 470.This sank most nails perfectly and I only had the set a few with the punch. I used several boxes of the T nails and the L nails. I prefer the T nails as they were easier to set with the punch if you had one that did not fully seat. The L nails almost always bent over when set with the punch. I only had the set about 20 or 30 with the punch out of 16,000 and consider that acceptable.

Used for my new prefinished floors
By Croy
I purchased this to install pre-finished hardwood and finaly ended up hiring men to do it. They used this nailer and nothing else from all the equipement I purchased as they were fully equiped themselves. I heard no negative comments during installation and for certain they would have said something.
