If you use a 15 gage gun. To install flooring material you will want to face nail them . It would probably be a good idea to glue it done to

I guess it could work if you can't get your hands on a flooring stapler. The flooring stapler will nail perfectly through the tongue every time where with this type of gun you have to align the nose before firing. This also will not "beat" the boards together tightly like a flooring unit would.

Yes absolutely! I use my Senco gun to put down three-quarter inch Hickory flooring. The gun worked very well.

I used it with a 3" framing nailer and 3/4" brad nailer. Didn't have any problems.

Suppose you could. It's really a trim nailer. Nails are thin and have very small heads.

I think you would need one that can shoot bigger nails. This one works good for trim and top nailing flooring where you don't want big nail holes. I'm not much of a carpenter. I bought one of these for a floor we did and the trim work. Good luck.

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

The 18ga brad is too thin for your application and will bend when trying to go through thick decking floor. You should consider something larger than 16ga for decking, like a framing nailer. I have both a brad nailer and a Dewalt 16ga finish nailer. The Dewalt is great for base and cove molding. The brad nailer is for lighter materials or thin materials that split easily.

Its a "cleats only" nailet. So the answer to you question is yes. I used 1.75" cleats into bamboo and it works great.

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

I bought nails on Amazon to go with it for cheap. And I'm pretty sure it would work for building a deck we used it with treated lumber to make 3 garden boxes and a sandbox with lid and it was great. Hope this helps

I should work fine. I have a small Porter-Cable 2 gallon "pancake" compressor and it powers the nailer without any problems.

It should! I installed 3/4" Brazilian walnut on top of 3/4" birch ply using 1.5" nails.

Yes! I have the exact same Freeman nailer (which I love) and I have only used these cleats going on 12 of these boxes, without an issue!

I had no problem nailing that thick a wood on my floor molding. I would suggest using the longer nail.

I think it will work well. It has several tools that will whittle down a thick nail. Just be careful not to go too deep.

This nailer as well as all others I have used for different flooring types from 3/8" up to 3/4" have always nailed into the tongue. The bottom part of any T & G material wouldn't have enough "meat" to properly hold the material down in my opinion. This would be especially true for thinner material. Also the material below the groove is purposely milled shorter in the profile then the finished layer to allow a tight fit. I would check the installation instructions again. This stapler is made to put the staple down at an angle determined by the installed shoe through the tongue. This tool doesn't have a shoe that would work in a groove.

I purchased this nailer to install bamboo hardware flooring. Never did hardwood floor but it worked well and I was pleased with the performacne of the tool. The angle function is really just a couple of 1/2 nylon shims that attached to the head not really a mechanical adjustment. So if you need precise nail angles, this may not be the tool to use. The nailer function worked well but not use to using a air nailer you need to lift the head high enough for the safety to reset. By the way if you buy this gun get a range of nails, cuz when I set my floor I used a nail that really was longer then I needed. I hope I answered your question.
