I'm a homeowner who is putting in a 3/4" hardwood floor. I found the recommended brand name floor nailers to be way too expensive ($400+). I bought this nailer at Balboa. It seemed to have an air leak right out of the box, but I had merely hadn't added any oil yet. A few drops and it has worked great ever since.
I'm about 120 S.F. into a 750 S.F. project and I couldn't be more pleased.
It hasn't screwed up once, although I have. Too light a hit & the staple didn't go all the way in.
It comes with replacement o-rings and tools. Putting in a solid hardwood floor without a pneumatic nailer would be way too much work. This gun makes it much easier, and the price is right.
I don't have a clue as to whether it would hold up to commercial application. As long as spare parts are available, I suppose it would be great.
