In the beginning, I want to say thank you to Bogdel and the people who bought it. They let me know how it worked.
to stop the same questions from being asked. It only needs 18G 1-1/4 – 1-3/4. That’s all it needs. Almost nothing else. It doesn’t work with engineered, laminate, or American wood.
It doesn’t matter if it’s made of steel or laminate: get a 20G stapler.
Hardwoods get a 16G mallet Cleat / Staple Nailer to help them.
If you want to buy a nailer, you should buy the $600 Power Nailer. If you want to buy the $700 PrimeTech, you should buy it for $800.
There is another reason I will not tell you how much it costs. It has gone up since I bought it. So I’m happy with what I paid and would still pay the price it’s now. But I’d rather pay the same amount again. There is nothing left to do.
It didn’t jam on me once in the two days that I was installing it. As I ran down the rows, I only face-nailed one board. Never shoot twice. and six nails didn’t sink all the way in, but that could have been because of the sub floor. This is how it works. I oiled it twice a day, once when I started, and again at the middle of the day. There were 4 oilings on both days, each with 2 drops. Also, for those who had a hard time getting it to work. Here are some things you might be having.
Don’t touch the plates. The thickness of wood isn’t the same from one company to the next. A plate will help you figure out how thick your floor is. Then, you can adjust from there until the plate is just a little too close to the subfloor with a slight tilt so the tip of your shoe is in touch with the floor.
2. When you touch the bamboo, don’t feel for the resting point. Instead, look for it. .. OR YOU WILL FACE NAIL IN THE WOOD.
3: At the very least, oil it before each use, but better to do it a second time during the day.
4.Your hammer hit makes all the difference. This is what you should do. This unit doesn’t hit from the side very well. You don’t have to slam it.
But don’t hit like a sissy, either. Pull your arm up and swing it like you normally would. 1 ft away from the head of the pump.
5. Finally, air pressure. Every air compressor is different. They have different recovery rates and sfcm’s, but they all work in the same way. You need to find the right pressure for the compressor that you have. What works for one compressor may not work for another. When you start at the general recommendation, you can change it up or down by 2-3 psi at a time.
I found that with my ridgid vertical pancake 150 mas psi compressor with 3.9 sfcm’s, 72 psi was the sweet spot. This is what I did. and I was able to shoot half a strip of nailers before the recovery process began. So I took a break until it was back to normal. there will be too little pressure and there will not be enough of a fight (Hence, why it would not sink flush).
So, hopefully this will help some people. I’ll be happy to help anyone who has any questions or needs help, and I hope this helps. For bamboo, you don’t need nailers that cost $500 or more. But you need 18G nails. There are no ifs, ands, or buts. This nailer is only for bamboo because it doesn’t want to make the cleat dimple nightmares that have happened on so many projects.
Finally, this is for freeman, and this is the last thing. This time, add a few more things.
1. If anyone is a tool fan like me and wants to protect their money, include the case and raise the price a little.
2. Take all of your base plates and combine them into one. Then, slide two side rails on and lock them in place with a quick lock bolt.
3. Make your handle 4 inches shorter, so you can get all but the last board and start using it after the second row instead of the third.
4. Finally, put a dry fire lock on so I don’t fly by sinking cleats and then find out later that there are no cleats in the board.
Other than that, this is all you need to know about this cleat nailer. It’s a great tool, too.
