Does this micro pin nailer work well on hardwoods?

I use the 23 Gauge on Knotty Alder which is just a little harder than pine and its works exceptional! Haven't had the chance to use it on anything harder yet but i do plan on it and would expect it to work just as well.

Yes, I've used it on maple and oak with great success. I have yet to need wood filler after using it.

I believe it would do well from my experience as long as your not using extremely dense wood such as Lignum vitae. You can always bump up the air pressure and experiment with the right diameter pins.

I purchased this specifically to use on my hardwoods. Works perfectly without damaging the floors.

Yes it does. That is the reason I purchased it. My son in law and I installed a cali bamboo floor on the entire first level of his house. The nailer was flawless......the installers made a few flubs....the floor is exceptional. I purchased the cleats at a local Lumber Liquidators store.

Hi Matt, So far, only on pine in which it worked quite well. I imagine it will work on oak & other hardwoods, but with more effort and care.

I found it does fine with 8 penny nails. Like any nail gun, you have to get the gun in position to get a good toe nail.

It sometimes does. In my experience, with softer pine, it will likely leave a small dimple. On harder oak, it does not. Typically with pine, I will putty and paint anyway. I have been very pleased with this brad nailer. It is a great tool for the price.

It works good in hardwood or tile flooring. Wouldn't recommend if you have a lot of carpet in the house

I've had my unit for several months and I've had no problem with a variety of hardwoods - many much harder/denser than oak. I'm happy with this tool.

It helps if you have a very small-headed hammer. it is a bit hard to hold the glides in place and not smash your fingers with a standard hammer. also, with hardwood furniture you will need to be very careful to follow the nail in with your hammering -- i.e. to not just bend over the nail. BUT with a small hammer and careful install, it is fairly easy and fast

Good morning Michelle, It might work but I wouldn't. It's a finish nailer. Mainly used for installing trim boards - softer woods. There are specific Hardwood Flooring Nailers tho Uncertain if any are battery opperated. Happy holidays, Todd

Yes but not for real hard hard woods it's good for small jobs and softer woods like pine and oak.

I use it on my hardwoods and it works great, they don't appear to be any worse for it either. I don't use it more than once maybe every 5 days though because I want to be sure...

I have one and used it to staple in hardwood oak flooring. My flooring was 1/2" by 1.5". I used the Senco 1/4" by 1" staples (18 gauge) and never had a single problem. For the money, and ease of use, this nailer/stapler did the job perfectly! I did some research beforehand, as to which was better and held better- nails or staples. Staples hold better than nails

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.

I used 2" nails on 3/4" birch for cabinet making. It has enough power to drive 2" nails through solid wood... If that's what you're asking.

Yes my numax framing nailer has work perfectly. Couple drops of air tool oil daily is good maintenance. Would recommend to anyone.

Sorry I have only used this machine on hard surfaces. I absolutely love the job in does on hardwood flooring, slate and tile.
