20-Gauge 1-1/4 inch Freeman PF20LM pneumatic gauge “When it comes to installing solid, engineered, and exotic Tongue and Groove hardwood flooring, an L-cleat flooring nailer is a fantastic choice. Designed to work with 20 gauge L-cleats from 1″ to 1-1/4″ wide, this air-powered flooring nailer has four interchangeable base plates to accommodate flooring ranging from 5/16″ to 5/8” in thickness. Long shifts are made possible by an ergonomic Dual handle design and a light strike bumper, which reduce fatigue while simultaneously increasing comfort and control. This long-lasting tool is made of high-strength and lightweight aluminum, with heat-treated steel parts for added durability. The use of an anodized aluminum magazine helps to extend the life of this tough flooring nailer even further. In the event of a jammed fastener, a semi-quick jam release makes it possible to gain access to the drive blade with ease. A No mar foot ensures professional results for both DIYers and construction contractors by increasing the protection provided to finished flooring surfaces during the installation process. The pneumatic 20-Gauge 1-1/4-Inch drill bit “The L-cleat flooring nailer comes with a fiberglass mallet with a rubber head, four interchangeable base plates, air tool oil, and adjustment tools, among other things.
I purchased this nailer because the gauge cleat required by the flooring I am installing is not readily available in any of the stores where I shop. Overall, the nailer performs admirably. That is, until it isn’t. We had a problem with the no mar feet in our second room of flooring, which caused the alignment to be skewed. The replacement parts are not available in any store or on the manufacturer’s website, which is a disappointment (despite the manual telling me to go to their website for replacement parts). I contacted the manufacturer, and while she was pleasant, her only solution was to “check to see if I have these parts in stock, but if I don’t, I’ll send you a new nailer. So, while that might work for the time being, I’ll have to 1. wait for either option to be completed and mailed to me, and 2. wait for the other option to be completed and mailed to me. Please don’t ship me another nailer unless they are certain that it will not crack at the feet.
When considering this nailer, keep in mind that if your flooring requires this gauge, you should choose a different flooring. RUN RIGHT NOW.
Another disadvantage of this nailer is that it cannot hold a large number of cleats at the same time. I’m only able to put one line of cleats in at a time, so be patient. As a result, you must pay close attention to the time when you are about to run out.
Abridged version of the above: it works in general, but because it is an uncommon cleat gauge, I would strongly consider using a more common gauge nailer if at all possible.
