Akuzuki Hardwood Floor Stapler & Cleat Nailer Nail Gun w/ Safety Trigger

Cheap Akuzuki Hardwood Floor Stapler & Cleat Nailer Nail Gun w/ Safety Trigger Review

I bought this nailer to install 1500 square feet 3 / 4 solid walnut for a customer. Rental fees would have exceeded the cost of purchasing the power tool and based on the comments, it seemed like a decent choice (and it was about the only type of nailer I do not own yet ...). Nailer arrived in a few days. Case is nice and has most everything needed to maintain the tool. Tool even comes with a standard air industrial Fiting installed.

He led almost all the spikes perfectlyand I only had one jamb that was caused by my lightly bumping the striker (which will partially drive a fastener) and then striking it for real - jamb was easily cleared by removing one plate with the tools provided. I used only Bostitch cleats.

I noticed that it didn't sit perfectly flat on the flooring with the base plate provided so I added a shim made from high pressure laminate (Formica) between the base plate and the nailer. The addition of that shim made the nailer sit perfectly on the wood. I didn't use it without but it shouldn't make too much of a difference.

The mallet provided with my nailer was very good and I had no problems with it at all as some of the others reported.; maybe they got the word. I did use it hard and for the entire 1500 sq. ft.

Now, the one flaw. I read some other reviews where they stated that the nailer started leaking air. This one did too but only intermittently. It would sometimes bleed a little air when the safety trigger remained compressed between shots. The leaking air did not affect the ability to drive fasteners at all and came and went about three times per room - not a big deal but a bit annoying. I did not rebuild the nailer with the o-rings provided. Figured I wait until it really didn't work.

I would recommend this nailer for the serious DIYer or the occasional flooring install for a remodeling contractor like myself.
