Jas-store.com Product Description |
|
The Porter-Cable FCN200 Pneumatic Flooring Cleat Nailer drives 1-1/2 to 2 inch cleat nails into the floor quickly and efficiently. Made from extremely durable and lightweight die-cast aluminum, the FCN200 features a rear-load gravity feed magazine with bypass pusher. It's also a very balanced, stable floor nailer so floors go down smoother and with less hassle. Its air fitting is angled and out of the way of the mallet, and the ergonomic design of the nailer allows for comfortable operation without the usual strain of other floor nailers. The magazine is capable of holding up to 100 cleats and firing them at 70-100 PSI pressure. |

Good Nailer |
|
Over 4000sqft of Brazilian Cherry and Hickory flooring put down with no problems. Keep it full of nails and it will work great every time. |

Solid Tool |
I bought this nailer this month for a 1200 sq./ft. floor job. The nailer was delivered within 4 days from purchase, even using the free shipping option. Inspecting it revealed a 'made in canada' sticker, which to me is a confirmation of money well spent, too many tools today are manufactured in China.
As far as performance goes, for the three long days we used the porter cable, there was nothing but perfection. We installed solid, pre-finished, oak flooring in 1x6" dimensions. This stuff will scratch if you look at it too long, but the nailer never left a mark. When the rack of nails is finished the last nail will fall out. This indicator worked well because it will halt the rhythm and stop the person from continuing on down the line shooting air.
Basically I would buy this tool again. |

Porter Cable FCN 200 Pneumatic vs. Porta Nailer Pneumatic |
|
I purchased and used the Porter Cable FCN200 Pneumatic Flooring Cleat Nailer and found it to be an excellent tool for the job. I also used the Pneumatic Porta Nailer. In comparison, I experienced no jams or miss fires with the Porter Cable but several with the Porta Nailer. While I prefer the nail design of the Porta Nails over those of the Porter Cable, I expect little or no problem with them holding the floor. They were, however, difficult to find and wound up using Bostitch 2" nails. The Porter Cable Nailer allowed me to nail through the tongue at least one board closer to the wall than the Porta Nailer. It is less bulky and requires less clearance. The face nailer attachment for the Porta Nailer is convenient but the nails created a lot of surface splinters and chipping. |

Very Satisfied |
|
I am very satisfied with this nailer. I laid about 450 square feet of 3/4" floor and had zero problems. Other reviews mentioned concerns with the last nail firing erratically...Several times I fired the last nail with no problem, other times, the last nail just dropped out before I had the chance to nail it. A carrying case would be nice, but, if you're not using it on a regular basis, it's just as easy to store it in the box it comes in. Overall, I am completely satisfied with the product and would definitely recommend it to others. |

Works flawlessly |
|
After laying 480 square feet of bamboo and about 250 square feet into a 900 sq ft oak project, this nailer hasn't had a single mistep. I've assisted in putting down hardwood before, but this is my first personal project. I'm not able to work straight through to completion (to many interuptions)so renting a nailer would have rapidly cost more than purchase. Nobody I talked to recommended a manual nailer, especially considering they aren't exactly cheap either. However, the prices on many of the recommended power nailers seemed very high for something I may only use for about 2000 square feet of floor; and I never sell tools, no matter how seldom they're used. After reading the reviews here, I decided to go with the Porter-Cable and am very glad I did. I used 2 inch Bostich nails and 75 PSI. I never let the tool run out of nails and have had zero problems. |
