The brand of nails does not matter. Any straight 18 ga. 5/8" to 2" should work. Others might have experience with a specific brand. The manufacturer provides some generic brand ones they deem are acceptable.

We are using BOSTITCH FLN-200 2-Inch Flooring L-Nail for ¾ engineered hardwood. That is the recommended size for this wood and the nailer is putting it into the floor no problem.

I have used these in 2 different brad nailers with positive results. As long as your nailed takes 18 gage straight you should be ok.

I have used the nails in the assortment at GREX P6/MP-3 23 Gauge Multi-Pack Headless Pins (3,000 per box) The 1/2" seems to work without any problems.

Yes it will, but the heads are a tad smaller than normal, so it will cause a jam about 3 times per strip!!!! Buy SENCO it will shoot 6000 nails and NEVER jam. This Makita brad nailer is the best in the industry, not to mention it's soooo pretty

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

I don't think so. The head of the nail would have to be less then about 3/8" Dia. to fit into the small hole in the nailer.

Absolutely. All you need to do is adjust the height of the foot (the difference between the sub-floor and the new floor board). This is an 18 gauge L cleat Hardwood Nailer, and it can do floors of any thickness. You will also need to get a feel for the right air pressure. I used mine at 95-100 for L clears. For the boards that are close to the wall, I used straight nailer, and the pressure for that was 110. The pressure you used depends on the thickness and harness of your new floor. Mine was 3/4' Brazilian Cherry. I hope this helps! :)

It does not matter. Either 21 degree or 22 degree nails will work just fine. This nailer has about a 3 degree tolerance on nail angle. Use either 21 or 22 degree nails - you won't be able to tell the difference. If you still have doubts, call porter cable customer service, they will telly you the same thing. p.s. buy this nailer! it works great!!

Not sure. Here is the link to the nails that I used in this nailer. They can be purchased at Home Depot. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Bostitch-2-in-Leg-16-Gauge-Galvanized-Steel-Flooring-Cleats-1-000-Pack-FLN-200/100178451?N=5yc1vZc2d8

I purchased this nailer to install bamboo hardware flooring. Never did hardwood floor but it worked well and I was pleased with the performacne of the tool. The angle function is really just a couple of 1/2 nylon shims that attached to the head not really a mechanical adjustment. So if you need precise nail angles, this may not be the tool to use. The nailer function worked well but not use to using a air nailer you need to lift the head high enough for the safety to reset. By the way if you buy this gun get a range of nails, cuz when I set my floor I used a nail that really was longer then I needed. I hope I answered your question.

The 2 1/2" nailer is made for 16 ga. nails, the other nailer is an 18 ga. nailer and this is the one you would use with the supplied finish nails. The 2 1/2" model will accommodate any 16 ga. nails up to 2 1/2", they do not have to necessarily be that length though. I believe your nail shank diameter (gauge) need to match the nailer but please refer to the documentation that came with it.
