Is this a nailer/stapler or just nails?

Nails only. I would not recommend any dual purpose gun. They are usually not great at either application.

I ordered the nails with the nailer and I don't remember what brand came wih it.

Typically, finish nails are smooth-shanked and lack the grip neccessary for flooring applications. I don't believe that the boxes of staples specify that they are for flooring only.

Typically with an engineered product you're looking to use an 18 gauge staple. This gun only accepts 15.5-16 gauge staples, so for nail-down engineered you're going to need something else.

Hi DeannaAs best I can recall, this had been advertised as a heavy duty stapler.In fact, if you surf the net, you will find numerous retailers still calling it that, although the manufacturer seems to have abandoned this, in favor of stressing its "All Steel Construction".I suspect it will hold up fine for light work.Would you like to buy some staples?

Seems to be a seven year warranty on the nailers/staplers. See if you can confirm in the manual/booklet that you are loading correctly, if so I would contact the customer service number in the manual for warranty replacement.

The nails I have used are Grip Rite brand Collated Framing Nails. They are Paper Tape Offset Round Head 2" and 3 1/2" - Ring Shank. I purchase them at Lowes. I have just about completed the conversion of a garage into two bed rooms and an entrance hall. These nails have served all my framing needs.

Regular heavy duty construction stapler & a small hammer, try 1/4 in staples. You may have to tack them in w/hammer, if not secure enough try 1/2 in.

No, this isn't a framing nailer. this is a simple brad/finish nailer. You would use this for smaller trim projects such as moldings, or pining lattice work. It works fantastic for what it is, but don't expect it to be able to handle heavy duty framing projects.

It takes standard/regular-size staples. LOVE this stapler!! When they say you can push it down with one finger,they are not exaggerating - it makes stapling so much easier - great for arthritic hands too, even my Grandma loves it! :)

Yes, it is a filer; however, it really is very weak--I feel it is only maybe suitable for very thin nails. It did nothing on my Boxer's nails.

Three finish nailers. Regular finish nails, pin nails, and micro pins. I bought this Hitachi and I am having a lot of trouble with it. Nails will not shoot consistently. I would look at Senco variety.

No it specialized for flooring.. Air staplers are cheap. This is a nice tool, don't mess is up by disabling the saftey

NO - it uses standard staples. Sounds like you need a heavy duty stapler......

Yes it is. It is just like the one the use in some nails salons. I love it.

One comes as a complete set with the nailer, battery and charger - this one is for ONLY the nailer - no battery or charger (bare tool)!

I have one and used it to staple in hardwood oak flooring. My flooring was 1/2" by 1.5". I used the Senco 1/4" by 1" staples (18 gauge) and never had a single problem. For the money, and ease of use, this nailer/stapler did the job perfectly! I did some research beforehand, as to which was better and held better- nails or staples. Staples hold better than nails
