The Powernail 50FKIT Pneumatic 18-Gauge L-Cleat Hardwood and Engineered Flooring Nailer w/Carrying Case was designed to provide versatility, ease of use and Powernail quality for both the professional and DIYer. The 50F's compact trigger-pull design eliminates the need for wielding a mallet, allowing you to get closer to walls and tight spaces. The adjustable one-piece FLEX foot no-mar base easily adjusts to flooring thicknesses from 3/8-inch to 3/4-inch thick (no additional tools required) and offers protection to pre-finished floors. The 50F also features a unique nose that fits a wide variety of profiles including tongue & groove and interlocking plank. Powernail is the premier company in the hardwood flooring industry for the manufacture of flooring tools and fasteners. In 1950, the founders of Powernail Company, Carl and Ed Anstett developed the first “L” Cleat nail. These inventors revolutionized the hardwood flooring industry, making installations much easier than previous methods. Powernail offers a full line of tools and fasteners for hardwood, engineered and carpet installation. Our mallet caps are made in the USA from premium rubber compound. They are highly durable & have an outstanding resistance to abrasion.

Perfect for the engineered bamboo flooring (stranded) I was using
I purchased this nailer after returning another one I purchased for this project. I was concerned that this one would not work either so I contacted the manufacturer (seller) and left my number requesting some information. less than 5 mins after posting it I received a call. I was assured that this nailer would work or they would gladly refund my money upon return of the nailer... it was incredibly easy to adjust the nailing point and made this job very easy... if you are looking to buy a cleat nailer for your stranded bamboo flooring, this will do the job. ... show more

Better than a hammer
I used this to install my first wood floor. It worked well. Since I made the flooring, it is probably not an industry standard thickness, so I liked having the adjustable foot. The nailer never jammed and sunk cleats to a reasonably consistent depth. It uses air efficiently. Is this nailer worth the premium price? As a novice installer, I cannot say. I wanted to err on the side of quality and an American company. I have no complaints. ... show more

I would buy it again
What a fantastic floor nailer. Very easy to use, no rubber mallet needed. Really makes installing hardwood flooring faster. I’m very happy with my purchase.

Buyer Beware!
I bought this based on good reviews and talking to others. The first day it worked well. After that, the head at the back of the gun started sticking no matter how much tool oil was used. I took it apart a few times and oiled the o-rings and put it back together. It would work for a few nails and then stick again. This would cause misfiring and the cleats would only go half way in or no nail would come out at all. Of course I bought it based on when my flooring was to arrive and it ended up being three weeks late. Now I can’t return it because there was only a 30 day return policy. Do not recommend purchasing this. ... show more

Waited a long time for this tool
I love pneumatic tools and have many. Now my set is complete with this one. It sinks nails in faster than I can write this review. Its very easy to use, just make sure you have ample air capacity!!

Might be good for thinner wood, but not 3/4"
I was hesitant to buy this for the project I had and I was correct. I was installing 3/4" jatoba and didn't know if this would work. So I asked the manufacturer if it would and they said absolutely, with minimal tongue breakage. This turned out to not be the case. I tested on multiple boards with different air pressure, and they all either went too far and cracked the tongue, or they never seated the cleat far enough. Also, the cleats dont seem to go in at the right angle. The shoe adjustment just doesnt allow you to get that perfect position which IMO causes the tongue breakage. I decided to go with a pneumatic power nailer with the hammer instead. It used 16 gauge cleats and had very minimal tongue breakage. I want to say that I didn't buy this from Amazon, but from another store. I decided to right this review due to the manufacturer's answer to my question. I'm sure this a good nailer for some applications, just not mine. ... show more

Easy to use, compact but not reliable
I purchased this nail gun for my remodeling business. I was putting down 3/8 engineered hardwood and had about 100 sf down when the spring on the nail lock mechanism broke. It unraveled as you can see in the pictures. Amazon will place the return but it's not possible to replace my time on a job that was to be finished the day it broke. Amazon gets an A+, Powernail, well, it's a failing grade. Maybe I was unfortunate to get a defect but on the positive side, it was easy to use, light, fast, easy adjusting to different thickness of material but reliability is a must. Will I buy another one, I'm not sure but I have about 20,000 nails to use. ... show more
