Will this nailer work on standard 3/4 " OAK Hardwood?

It did for me. With two people, one to place and tap tighten each board and one to nail, it is beautiful. Just take your time if you're a novice. Enjoy!

Yes, 3/4" flooring is actually 25/32", I believe, and there is a base plate for it. Anyway, I installed nominal 3/4" oak flooring and had no problem running at 90psi using the L-cleats. I think they were 2". Just take the time to be sure the nailer is sitting solid and square and you'll be fine. One thing that helps a lot is to put a scrap piece of flooring under the back end of the nailer to help hold it level.

Yes, it worked well on my pre-finished 3/4 inch oak flooring. I only had one jam when I did not hit it squarely. If you hit it firmly and squarely it works very well. A little practice will help to get it down. I used the 2 inch L head nails. I had to elevate the air pressure to some over 100 - then it worked very well.

My flooring is 3/4 oak and it work perfectly. The user wasn't as perfect, but nothing was the fault of the tool.

Hi, the nailer comes with two spacers - one is 1/2" and the other is 25/32" - pretty close to the 3/4 you're installing. My floor is 3/4 oak as well. Used the 2" L-Cleats. It does take a little practice to get the hammer force just right. Make sure the nailer is set tight above the tongue and flat on the board/flooring before you strike. You'll understand once you see it.

It is a 4 in 1 nailer that can use nails, staples or brads. It works best for 1/2" or less thickness.

Actually it does... It is a bit different design - allows you to do 3/4" and 1/2" thick planks. BTW, the unit I got works perfect! I just installed 140+ SF of oak T&G flooring with no hiccups and no nail hanging. There is couple of things you need to remember; this is not a really heavy duty commercial unit, droplet of light oil every time you put a new nail strip and most important - hit the striker pretty resolute EVERY TIME! Thanks, Mario

I do not know the answer. I purchased a smaller nailer to handle the finer work..

I had 3/4 inch oak flooring too. I did use the mallet to drive the next board into place a little bit. But I found that a better plan was to use a short piece of the flooring as a surface to hit with my claw hammer. That eliminates any damage to the tongue of the next piece you are trying to install. I made almost every mistake one can make before getting to the best method. Striking the head of the driver hard is important because if you just tap it, it will not drive the staple or nail all of the way into the board. Good luck.

For floors I've always rented a flooring nailer. This unit seems powerful enough to go through the flooring tongue, but I only have used it for trim (oak and pine) boards.

This nailer will accept 3/4 inch to 1 3/8 inch headless or a very small headed nail. I have been told it will also shoot 1/2 inch nails.

Yes-Power to drive nails up to 3-1/2-in x 0.131-in into engineered lumber -21 degree - 2 in. x 0.113 in Great tool

Yes it will. Try to keep the battery fully charged..It tends to slow down when nailing.

This is a GREAT finish nailer; I would not use this to nail 3/4" stock (1x4-1x6 lumber). It is good for a decorative lattice at the top;). 1x4 or 1x6, or even 1x8 will 'cup' as they say, therfore due to cupping you need a nail/screw with a large 'head' ( 6 penny common galvanized at least). You could use this Wen to 'tack' your pieces (and then use larger nails or screws later). ;)

If you do a search for the Bostitch framing nailer you will see that is requires 28 deg. I ended up buying Bostitch nails just to be safe but any manufacturer that makes them in 28 deg will work.

Good unit. Should be enough pressure for a nailing gun for installing a hardwood floor. However the nails are very important, and how that is handled so that you do not split the wood. You may want to consult a professional floor person.

Yes it will. Very easy to use. You will have to change out the depth guide to the smaller guide, which is supplied in the kit. The one which is installed on the gun is for 3/4" flooring. This gun in very reliable and accurate. I had zero issue's with it installing 600sq ft of hardwood flooring.

This gun uses several different sizes of hitachi nails. I used some 2 1/4", 3" and 3 1/2" in my deck project. The gun worked flawlessly. Importantly, though, is the level of you expertise, the size of your air tank, etc. to adequately answer your query. On first thought, yes; however experience level could mitigate that.

I don't think it will. It only works with brat nails about 1.5" long. Compressor works great with other nailer.

Shouldn't be a problem. It clearly states that it will fire 1 3/4" nails that are wire collated. Just double check your angle and diameter.

This nailer only shoots 15.5 or 16 gauge nails. I used 16 gauge nails to install my 5/8 bamboo. Worked great.
