When you buy the Freeman PF1618GLCN pneumatic 3-in-1 flooring nailer, you get a 16-gauge and 18-gauge 2-inch nailer. This is the first all-in-one flooring nailer, and it helps both DIYers and professionals decide what nailer to buy. This t-cleat is best for installing more common Tongue and Groove hardwood flooring, like 5/8″ to 3/4″ Oak, maple and hickory. It’s made of 16 gauge. If you are installing 3/8″ to 3/4″ engineered or solid Tongue and Groove flooring, such as bamboo, stranded bamboo, carbonized bamboo, or exotic hardwoods, the 18 gauge L-cleat is the fastener you need to get the job done right. The durable anodized aluminum magazine lets you load 16 gauge L-cleats or 18 gauge L-cleats that range in length from 1-1/4″ to 2″ without having to make any changes or adjustments, making for a smooth operation. This air-powered flooring nailer can use any brand of 16 or 18 gauge L-cleat, so there is no need to worry about not having the right tool. With a hardened steel drive blade, an aluminum cylinder, and high-quality rubber O-rings, this nailer is built to last through a long day of work. This pneumatic flooring nailer comes with three different base plates that can be switched out. This helps keep the floor stable and protects the surface from scratches. Air tool oil, wrenches, and a fiberglass mallet with a rubber head come with the pneumatic 3-in-1 16-gauge and 18-gauge 2″ Flooring nailer. The pneumatic nailer can be used for both 16-gauge and 18-gauge nails, and the no-mar design protects finished flooring surfaces.
In the picture, you can see how I used this nailer to put down the Brazilian Cherry wood flooring. I also used the Freeman L-cleats in 18 ga, but I also used them. As soon as I learned how hard to hit the head with the nailer, it worked great. It had some broken tongues, but that’s common with Brazilian Cherry. It split less than other nailers I’ve used. For the floor shown, the nailer got stuck twice. Hex wrenches were available to help clear up the jams, and it was easy to get them out. In any case, jams were caused by nails, not the nailer, and were not his fault. I bought the nailer used on Amazon, and it looked like it had never been used before. This is how it looked. In the end, it cost the same as renting a nailer for 3 days. The flooring took me 5-6 days to finish, so that was a good thing because I still have the nailer to use for my next project.
