Bostitch Pneumatic Flooring Nailer Review
Chances are if you're looking for a high quality, reliable and durable floor nailer, you've probably seen our review of the Akuzuki Contractor Pro Series Cleat Nailer. It's a great cleat nailer for the money. Today we're taking a closer look at the Bostitch MIIIFN 1-1/2- to 2-Inch Pneumatic Flooring Nailer. While both nailers are professional grade, the Bostich is a little more robust in my opinion. It all boils down to what you'll be using your flooring nailer for (hardwoods, laminates, softwoods?) and how often. If you're a flooring Contractor, then obviously you'll need a nailer like this Bostich or the Akuzuki more so than some guy who just plans to put down some wood flooring in the Utility Room.
What makes this Bostich pneumatic flooring nailer stand out from the rest? Well, for starters it drives 1 1/2" to 2" L shaped nails into any type of wood flooring. It weighs in at 11.2 pounds and is constructed of aircraft grade aluminum. This high speed mallet actuated Bostich nailer socks nails in with its 420 inch-pounds of power and comes with a high capacity magazine along with a composite base.You'll come to appreciate all this power if you install any Brazilian wood like Cherry or Walnut!!
While DIY'ers and Professional flooring contractors alike can appreciate all these features, the one that I'm blown away with is the 7 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY! Who does that these days?? Certainly not most of their competitors!
This nailer comes standard with both 1/2" and 3/4" interchangeable base plates for different flooring thicknesses for stability. It also comes with a pre-finished floor board adapter foot that won't scuff your work. Another feature a lot of us can appreciate is the ergonomic elongated handle. It allows a more natural and less fatiguing grip while you work. This makes it easy to use for either right or left handed people. The long reach handle is what normally comes with the nailer, but there is also a shorter handle available if you prefer it.
Customer Comment - This Bostich nailer makes installing hardwood flooring almost fun!

But don't just take my word for it, read the reviews of over 45 satisfied customers including Contractors and DIY'ers just like you and me said about it on Amazon.com.
