So far we have installed about 400 square feet of 2 1/4 X 3/4 oak floor. This Air Nailer works fantastic. I’m using about 1 Box of 1,000 nails per 100 square feet. I’m 6′ 4″ and so far the height of the Nailer is working out good. I love the case it came in. I would recommend the Nailer to anyone.

Easy to use, oiled every night to keep things running smooth….worth the money

This was a great purchase while doing about 800 square feet of hardwood. Given the price, this was a much better choice over renting a nailer since I could work at my own pace over a couple of weekends. The kit has almost everything you need to start nailing (minus the compressor and nails), and the carrying case holds everything nicely for easy transport. I would definitely recommend this!

Spend the money and buy a Bostich which has a better shoe that’s less prone to damage the edge of the hardwood flooring, and the compactness of the Bostich allows you to get closer to the wall on the final courses. Because of this you’ll have to hand nail the last 4 courses whereas with the Bostich only the final 2 courses require hand nailing.

The nailer work great. Nice that it came with the case, hammer and tools to service the tool.

I had 400 sq feet of 3/4″ maple plank flooring to put down. I wasn’t sure how long this would take and didn’t want to rent a nailer for the cost and also for the condition of some of the rental nailers so I took the plunge and purchased this nailer.My only other experience is with a Bostitch nailer, which I didn’t want to purchase due to the cost and the frequency of my use. Let me tell you, this nailer worked 100% flawlessly!!!!! Opened it up, the nailing plate was already installed and setup for 3/4″ flooring (Note that it is labeled as 25/32″, which will work for both 3/4 and 5/8″ flooring). Put a few drops of oil in it and got it set up.I used 2″ Bostitch L cleats and did a few test fires, finally arriving at 90 psi on my Porter Cable pancake compressor. From there on out, approximately 1500 cleats later, not 1 misfire! It doesn’t take much striking force with the mallet to set the nails.Not sure how this would hold up to day in and day out use of a professional, but for the occasional hardwood floor, this nailer is a great buy. Keep it oiled and let it rip. Plus it has a case which makes it even better and a 7 year warranty!I had reservations on the purchase but I more than happy that I did it. I never write reviews but felt I had to share on this.

It came out off the box ready to do the job. No problem.

The FREEMAN 3-in-1 Flooring Air Nailer and Stapler worked fine for me. I only installed about 260sqft of 3/4″ Oak hardwood flooring and I only used staples, but I didn’t have any problems. I purchased the kit with the case, so that I could keep the set alltogether. I will say that the case is well made. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I love this flooring stapler. The price was great and I have not had any problems with this. This is the second freeman product that I have bought and I am very pleased with both of them.

Great tool! Worked well and made the flooring job quick, professional and almost easy.jd
Aglae Strosin (verified owner) –
On my third room, works very well, no problems whatsoever. Must keep air pressure at 100 PSI to drive 2″ L nails. For an economy nailer, very impressed.
Andy Hickle (verified owner) –
Have used for a couple of days. It works great. Solid construction. Takes generic brands of nails. Very satisfied so far.

First time using a floor nailer. Was pretty easy to use. Good quality for a good price.
Lottie Howell (verified owner) –
This flooring stapler worked great and was ready to use for the 3/4″oak flooring that I installed. I really appreciate having a hard case for storing the tool and all of the accessories. Good buy.

I needed a hard wood floor nail gun to use for over a period of a few weeks so renting was not an option. I chose this gun based on other reviews and am glad I did. It feels durable and well balanced. I used some cheap staples at first and the gun jammed(about 5 times within 30 staples) but was easy to correct. Got better staples and have had only 1 staple(within 500 staples) to remove.
Tania Ziemann (verified owner) –
I”m still in process of installing floors but I have installed right at 500 square feet of 5/8″ hardwood and this nailer has been perfect. It’s easy to use, hasn’t jammed, and was a phenomenal value. I still have another 1000 square feet to go, so if anything changes during that time, I’ll post then. I don’t suspect that will be the case. This has definitely been a smart purchase.

We installed over 1000 sq ft of Walnut flooring with this nailer. I agree with other comments. Keep it oiled and it works perfectly. Highly recommend.
