Flooring Stapler, 2-in-1 Tool (DWFP12569)

Can't go wrong buying a Dewalt tool... Not had one out of place cleat in over 5000 cleats so far. Only had a double cleat once (my fault actually...). Used on 3/4 or 19mm solid oak hardwood floors.

I layed 70m2 of oak parquet with this tool, having never done it before. The results are great, and this Dewalt nailed played an integral part. Great tool, very intuitive to use. Highly recommended.

I used this to install 500 sq.ft. of 3/4" ash hardwood into the top floor of my house. I was a first time user, but it was very straightforward. The nailer was lightweight and easy to move, but very sturdy. It was easy to line up (although the plate can scratch the finish of the wood if you're just casually tossing it into place). I did not have a single jam or malfunction. The sweet spot on the actuator is pretty forgiving, and for some of the last rows you can install, you don't necessarily need to hit it straight on to get it to fire properly i.e. the 4th and 5th rows away from the wall. The mallet that was included in the kit survived and looks like it can go another round at least. I used bostitch flooring nails and a Motomaster 5 gallon air compressor. Very happy with the performance, would definitely recommend!

I never write reviews but this one deserved it. Installed just over 1600 square feet of pre-finished 3/4” oak flooring. I used the Dewalt brand 2” 16 gauge flooring cleats in it. 12,000 of them in fact. It performed flawlessly. No misfires, no jams. The hammer it comes with is also nice. Heavy but not too heavy. You don’t have to wail on the gun since it’s pneumatic but you can when you wanna really close a stubborn gap between boards. It’s not big and bulky like many others I’ve seen being used by professional installers. All that at an affordable price, very good buy.

I couldn't be happier with this nailer. I installed almost 400 sq feet of solid oak hardwood floors (Bruce CB218 Dundee Strip) over two days. I used right around 3000 Bostitch FLN-200 L-Cleats without a single jam or misfire. This tool worked best with my material at around 70psi. A simple pancake compressor was more than capable of keeping this tool going full time. It was truly oil and go. I did add a few extra drops of oil every 500 cleats or so to keep the piston and seals well lubricated. I do recommend taking your time if you are working with pre-finished flooring. The foot pad is a non-marring plastic but there is some metal to wood contact with the edge of your flooring and nailer. I did manage to scratch one or two pieces during the install, but mostly due to fatigue. I have rented the Bostitch flooring nailer in the past and can say with great certainty that I like this one better! Great job, Dewalt.

Perfect

Great tool.
