Freeman PFBC940 Pneumatic 4-in-1 18-Gauge 1-5/8" Mini Flooring Nailer / Stapler

I was putting in some 1/2" engineered hardwood flooring and needed a flooring stapler that shot 1 1/4" staples with a 1/4" crown. All the local rental places i could find only rented out ones that used nails or 1/2" crown staples. They also rented for $25-$35/ day. I was doing this project after work each day so I knew I would need it for at least 3 days so it would start to get costly. It checked the internet and Walmart made my day! Seriously? An angled flooring stapler for $75? I was also in somewhat of a time crunch so I splurged for 2 day shipping for the $13. I bought the staples from my local Menards home store. Everything worked perfectly. I did need to spend a few minutes adjusting the stapler to my flooring height to get it to shoot correctly and it took me a few shots on some scrap to know how to best use it since it was my first time with one. I only had one "accidental" shot into the top of the flooring when I was trying to go too fast and did not make sure the gun was in the right spot. Once I set the gun on floor and slid it up to the flooring I never had another mistake. Now I have my own flooring stapler for any other project and I can take the angled attachment off and have another Brad nailer too(I already had one. Maybe I will even sell that one) I love that this stapler is small like a Brad nailer too. It was able to staple my very first row of flooring because of its smaller size.

Well packaged, the box it comes in makes a good enough case. Worked flawlessly installing 100+ square feet of engineered hardwood flooring. All around good stapler and nailer. Not a single misfire or jam. Well worth the price

Used to install 500 sq. feet of 3/8 inch engineered hardwood floors in my home. Used 1.75 inch 18 gauge staples. It worked perfectly throughout the project. Once you spend a little time to set up the 45 degree guide to fit your flooring, its a breeze from there. Make sure you practice your pressure on scrap pieces before stapling into your actual flooring. Once done, you can take the 45 degree guide off and it works nicely as a finishing stapler or brad nailer. It is very easy to see how many staples you have left. I like the oil free design but it does come with oil. I still put a drop in before using, guess just old school. The warranty is great as it gives you 7yrs.

This is a good floor nailer. It works well, for what it's designed to do, 1/4 --1/2" flooring. But, it's versatile enough to Be a Stapler and a Brad nailer , too! So, it can do several jobs, all by Itself. I like the design and balance. Then, even though, Its lightweight, it It will work well, for around the House Projects, in The Shop, or on the Job.

Finally got a pneumatic nail gun for home projects. This gun can supposedly do it all with it being a flooring gun, but also converts to a normal nail gun for trim or carpentry projects. I have not used it for any projects yet but tested it out with 1 inch trim nails on a 2x4 piece if wood. I hooked it up to my 3 gallon pancake air compressor that has a 100 psi capacity and started nailing. Noticed the first few nails were not flush. I adjusted the dial setting, and then they were flush...that easy. Out of the box, the gun is assembled for flooring projects. If you have never used a nail gun...like me...the instructions were a little difficult, since the pictures were very small. After reading it over a few times, and thoroughly examining the nail gun, I was able to figure out how to disassemble and reassemble. Just watch out for the small black O rings. It was not that easy to take the flooring attachment off and convert it to a normal nail gun due to my inexperience and the limited instructions. Adding nails to the gun was very simple. I am giving it 5 stars based on my initial examination and testing of the nail gun...being a first time nail gun user, I am not sure if this is the best, but it works out of the box and I look forward to using it on future projects.

FREEMAN MODEL: PFBC940 FLOORING NAILER, BRAD NAILER, STAPLER  For a 4-in-1 this little floor nailer, brad nailer, and stapler combo is really great. I call it small because I'm 6'7” tall and it's a nice fit in my hand and is the perfect size to be using on doing hardwood floors, plus about any staple job around the house you might have. It's a great little nailer and will go as fast as you can. The actual size is really good on hardwood floors as you can move it or put it anywhere you like and it'll be out of your way, also compared to other nail guns that are massively heavy and huge this one is great. The professional model would last anyone a great while and with a 7 year limited warranty freeman is pretty serious about their equipment, very few if any will give you more than a year on products if that. The attachment for the flooring is adjustable and super easy to adjust, in a little under a minute you can be nailing no matter the size or angles of your hardwood. OVERALL: I would recommend this for the price for the handyman and around the house uses. At $104 price point I believe it will make a great addition to anyone's collection of useful tools.  Quality and ease of use to me is the greatest selling point of this 4-n-1 nailer, stapler, brad nailer, and flooring nailer. I do believe it's built to last a long time, and if you are using in a home setting for projects it will last a major long time. So happy nailing and I hope this helps.

so far do good.

The Freeman 18 Gauge Mini Flooring Nailer is good lightweight occasional use flooring nailer that doubles as a brad nailer and stapler. If you compare this in size to a traditional flooring air nailer you see why this is called "mini." The power of this flooring nailer limits its use to smaller projects and thinner wood. With patience, you could use this to put flooring down for a small remodeling project. I doubt that this would survive a whole house oak flooring install. On the other hand, it is a very serviceable brand nailer and stapler. The conversion is simple starting with the second time you convert from one mode to the next. If my unit was typical, I could have used a long breaker bar to loosen the two screws holding down the nosepiece. After that time, it was easy. While the flooring application is lightweight, it does have some great features. You can adjust the nailer to match nearly any type of flooring available. You can set it by using the guide marks and the flooring manufacturer's recommendations, or you can just loosen the nosepiece and simply line it up with your flooring before tightening the guides in place. Even if you don't make frequent use of the flooring application, you still have a good brad nailer that will undoubtedly put to use on a much more regular basis. For the home project, this is a decent purchase. For the construction professional... I would look elsewhere.

This is our first time doing flooring, we are doing smaller projects for starters. This is one nice and easy to understand nail gun. We just needed a compressor and right sized nails to work with. As I mentioned its our first time, so for learning process we didn't wanted to over spend, we found budget friendly but great nail gun. I'm not a handy person, my husband is and he is very happy with it. So far no complaints
