NuMaxS50LSDH Pneumatic 2-in-1 15.5-Gauge and 16-Gauge 2" Dual Handle Flooring Nailer / Stapler

I really like this nailer, glad !t's the one I chose. I'm not a professional so I can't speak to longevity, but it's working perfectly for me.

I bought this nailer as an Amazon Warehouse deal. I cannot recall what condition it said it was in (used very good, used acceptable, etc.) I figured I would just use it once for my project so why not save a few bucks and get the used one. Well when it arrived, you could definitely tell it was "used", but still in good shape. However, this thing jammed about every 10 mins. The staple would get jammed or the drive plate wouldn't retract. I thought, "is this normal?" I've never installed a wood floor before. And yes I did troubleshoot everything. The machine was oiled well with pneumatic oil. Finally I gave up and had to go purchase a new one to finish the job. The entry level nailer I got at the big box store has worked FLAWLESSLY so I know there was something wrong with this nailer I got from Amazon. So - if you're going to get this I would say get a new one, not used. I am having to return the one I got and I feel bad about returning it but I am not paying for a defective nailer. Such a hassle and a huge waste of time.

I was unsure about this floor nailer just because you usually lose quality with an inexpensive product. I only needed to install an oak floor in my own home so I can't speak to the long term durability of the tool. I installed a standard 2-1/4" x 3/4" tongue and groove oak floor with cleats and this nailer worked great. I spent about two minutes adjusting the air pressure to get it just right. I think I did 5 test shots before getting the pressure and strike force just right then just went to work and never had an issue throughout the project. I only used 2000 cleats but the tool worked as well on the last shot as the first. Buying this nailer instead of renting some beat up nailer for a similar cost when you factor in a couple of days rental plus picking up and dropping off is a no brainer. The quality exceeded my expectations.

Does what's it is intended to do. I highly recommend getting the lightweight one since you will be using this for hours on end when installing floors. I only had a couple "miss-fires" which were due to me not swinging the hammer with enough force. The strike swing does not have to be really hard, it's just after using this for hours you can get complacent and swing light causing a nail to not penetrate the hardwood all the way. When this happened I took and electric grinding wheel and cut the exposed part of the nail off (be careful to not let the cut portion of the nail lay on your flooring as it will be red hot and will scorch it.My daughter and me put down around 400 sq ft of 3/4 inch prefinished oak using this and had no issues.I recommend wrapping the hammer head with blue painter's tape for when you use this real close to walls as the hammer can scare the walls when it brushes against them during the recoil off of the nailer's strike plate.I set my air compressor on 110 psi and it worked great.No issue with the foot plate of the nailer scratching or damaging the flooring during installation.A MUST HAVE TOOL FOR LAYING HARDWOOD FLOORING!!!!Pay a little more for the lighter nailer.

I purchased this to install new hardwood floors in one half of an apartment, just under 500 sqft. I purchased this because I only have a few hours a day to work on floors, and renting several days in a row from one of the big box stores would have been much more expensive.This nailer installed almost 500 sqft. of 3/4" x 3 1/4" Red Oak hardwood right out of the box without any issues at all. I used Bostitch staples for this job and there were no misfires, jams, or any other issues. I kept my small compressor above 75psi at all times to ensure that I wouldn't have any issues driving staples in, and with a firm swing of the included hammer, it worked perfectly. Due to its heavy weight, the hammer helped me slide each plank into place and lock them together tightly before nailing, which I was having much difficulty with using a normal hammer.I have yet to try using cleats, but this gun has been very reliable so far with the staples and I don't expect to run into any issues. It's been a pleasure to use and I look forward to keeping it in my arsenal. I would highly recommend this nailer and I would definitely purchase it again.

The base was a bit too rounded for establishing an exact edge against the board, which made it more difficult to staple. I did figure it out after using it for a while, but even after several days, had some staples that split the tongue a bit. Also, it came with a 3/4 and 5/8” base, but I needed 1/2” base. The 5/8” worked pretty good. Recommendation with buying the product was 2” staples, which turned out to be too long. I’d go with 1 1/2” next time. Overall, though, it worked pretty well! I don’t know what “thickness” means in the star rating section.

Used this to lay 3/4" hard wood floor do a hallway that matches the rest of the home and this stapler worked flawlessly ! Do not see how a more expensive model would do any better ! Plus it comes with a hammer that you will need !

It would have cost me $50 a day to rent one and this job took 2 days, for a couple bucks more I have a floor nailer that worked great. No brainer

Worked great. Only negative is it was hard to tell when the staples would run out.

It did work as advertised the plates for protecting the floor where stamped the the wrong sizes so I had to use the 5/8s plate for 3/4 flooring it feels cheaply made but it did the job and ran well and consistently throughout

Great gun for the price.Used it to put hardwood down in my living room. Saved me from having to rent and was able to work at my own pace.Didn't have any issues or missed hits.Would recommend for home use.

The product was shipped without any additional packaging, just the box slapped on with a shipping label. When I received it, content of the box was not secure any feel a lot of the items were just moving around inside. The nailer itself feel cheap not well made. Did not use it so cannnot comment on how well it works. Ended up paying $50 for a really nice Freeman 3-in1 nailer that came with a case.

Great machine! Installed my floor without a problem.
