I noticed that this does not have a plastic cover plate like most nailers do to protect the tops of the wood... Can this item be ordered or one adapted? I'd rather not slide a metal plate on the wood surface.

Actually it does... It is a bit different design - allows you to do 3/4" and 1/2" thick planks. BTW, the unit I got works perfect! I just installed 140+ SF of oak T&G flooring with no hiccups and no nail hanging. There is couple of things you need to remember; this is not a really heavy duty commercial unit, droplet of light oil every time you put a new nail strip and most important - hit the striker pretty resolute EVERY TIME! Thanks, Mario

The metal circle is the 'nail' that goes in. It takes a little more patient hammering, but they go in! Less chance of splitting the furniture leg with circle design, I think. Hope that helps! :)

The "nailing" part is thin metal. The design works great for wood legs, but it won't work for metal barstool

Mine arrived with the nail gun in a box. It's a nice box fit for the gun but not the nice case shown.

I used the nailer on dark, prefinished flooring. The guard is hard plastic. We used a thin, felt pad over the plastic. It worked well. Just have to be cautious when setting the nailer

No Lili, the plates don´t have any paper or cover for protect the fingers. When you order your Bundle Monster, they send you a box with the 25 plates, nothing more.

Mine came is the pic shows. There was no 'cover' that comes off. I would say it would be almost impossible to eve put one on since the top fits tight to the wooden frame and there is no place for elastic to fit.

All the nailers use different ones. They are the plastic bound nails though. Round head 21 degree

It should be perfect for this type of application; I know of nothing better, also there are many options for types of nails, i.e., ringshank, stainless, coated, etc.

After checking the site, I think that review is no longer there. My husband placed the nails at the base of the edging which is later covered up with dirt. Just remember the sun is your friend before you work with the edging. Make sure you unroll the edging and place it directly in the sun for at least one-half day before you attempt to install. This will ensure ease of installing so it won't keep rolling up while you're installing it. I think you will be pleased with the ease of the installation and the result from this edging.

If you go to Home Depot they currently sell this nail gun and you can see it on their website as well. It's a 30 degree nail gun I have several of them. And yes they sell the nails there too. 2"-3 1/4"

Yes. The nailer comes with shoe plates for different flooring thickness. 1/2, 5/8, and 3/4 inches. Premium bamboo is usually 5/8" thick. Make sure to set up the nailer properly and nail away. The nailer comes with a good instruction manual. Cheers.

it's not so much that it is a different shape ... they all have a ball at the end of it on both sides for dotting ... the difference is that they come in different sizes at each end ... there are some that are pretty large and may cover up half the nail and others used for very precise dotting which are much smaller.Hope this helps

Read the description again, it does come with a protective plate. I did 400sf of Bruce oak without a scratch.

It doesn't matter. Bostitch framing nailers suck. They double fire nails a lot. How do I know? If I could, I'd post up the X-ray of a 3 inch nail that nailed my hand to a deck joist. I knew these guns suck, and kept my hand about 6 inches away as I held a 2x4 block I was nailing in place. The gun kicked back and the second nail went through my middle finger . Ironic. That's what I think of Bostitch.

This nailer came with three interchangeable base plates, one of which is labeled for 3/8 flooring. I have used it on 1/2 inch bamboo and 3/4 inch mahogany porch flooring, switching bases each time. In both cases it worked very well.

Mine has a plastic plate. No problems scratching wood on any floors I have installed.
