 good nailer with good price August 26, 2008
I have been using it for days, finished 2 rooms of hardwood floor so far, work great. it's good deal, and convenient compare to rent a tool, especially when it take me many days to do the work.
 Worth considering August 17, 2008
If you don't have an air compressor and you are considering renting a compressor and floor nailer to install flooring, you may be better off purchasing a reconditioned nailer. For about the same price as a one day rental you can own a nailer which means you can take your time installing the flooring and move at your own speed. It took much longer than I thought it would take to install the flooring: I rented a nailer & compressor for the first day, purchased a reconditioned Bostitch nailer and 1) saved money, 2) reduced stress, 3) eliminated trips to the rental store. Even if you are wondering what are you going to do with a floor nailer in your tool collection when finished, it is still a good deal as the reconditioned piece I purchased was in very good physical shape, worked fine, was less than half the price of a new one, and for me cheaper than renting. One time I jammed it by double nailing (my fault) and it was easy to unscrew the plate and clear the action.
This reconditioned unit is a good deal.
Reconditioned is the way to go July 17, 2008

I am a do-it-yourselfer who decided to put hardwood flooring in the living and dining rooms. Point one, I way underestimated how long it would take. I rented an air compressor and air assisted nailer from Home Depot for a total of $95 for one day and was disappointed in how little progress I made (it goes slower than you think).
For the price of renting a nailer for one day this side nailer is yours to keep forever, which means take as long as you want and don't worry about getting back to the rental store on time. Generally speaking a factory reconditioned unit is given a good quality check before it is released and I had only one problem with this tool and it was one I caused myself by double nailing in the same hole that caused a nail to jam in the chute. The plate and spring mechanism was easily taken apart, jam cleared and back to work. The jamming was my fault. The gun works smoothly, it comes with a hammer. There was one small nick on the one I received indicating it was previously used but at the price comparison of recon vs. new that was not an issue. Even if you are not sure what you are going to do with a side nailer in your tool collection after you have finished the flooring job, the price of buying factory recon vs. rental makes it worth while.

This item looked and performed like a brand new one. We had no problems using it. The metal side of the mallet is angled so that it is easy to tap the board into place without damaging the face. Hitting the plunger both drives a cleat and snugs the board up to the previous row. Even slightly curved boards straighten up without prying if you use a firm swing.
We installed about 1100 square foot of 3/4" cypress tongue and groove on our floor. This item was indispensable. We used cleats that we picked up at lowes for about $15 a box. We used 3 1/2 boxes of FLN200 qty 1000, placing a cleat at least every 8".
If you pull out the cleat feeder bar at the back of the tool, you an use the tool on the second row from the starting wall. (5.25 inch boards) The cleats are heavy enough to feed themselves. Because of the space needed to swing the mallet, I had to use a regular hammer and nails starting at the 2nd to last row.
The tool is symmetrical, so it works just as easily for lefties.
 Terrible delivery/great product April 29, 2008

Paid for express delivery but received regular delivery. Product arrived after 7 business days when 1-3 business days was requested thereby paying nearly $30.00 for rush delivery.
Once the item was received, although reconditioned, works great.
