Porter-Cable CFNBNS 3-Nailer and Compressor Combo Kit Review

(More customer reviews)
I have had these nail guns for several years. I purchased the set without the staple gun for $299. This is an incredible bargain and you will find thousands of uses for these nail guns. I use the 18 gauge nailer the most to assist with glue ups. I have never had a jam with any PC nail gun that I use. (knock on wood) The compressor is a little loud for my tastes. If you will use this in an enclosed area like a basement, I suggest making a cabinet for it to muffle the sound. Fine Woodworking magazine - Tools & Shops annual issue- on page 106 gives an illustration of how to make one. It works.
December 7, 2008 Update: I have used my compressor for endless hours. I drain the compressor before and after each use. I have yet to experience any problems after all these years.
Update: 1-9-09: I still am completely satisfied with this tool kit. I have yet to have any problems from the compressor or nail guns.

Whether you're installing flooring or completing a custom carpentry job, this versatile and ultra-efficient kit with two nailers, multi-function stapler, and an oil-free, pancake-style compressor will keep you on-track. The brad nailer has a user-friendly design and takes 18 gauge, 5/8- to 1-1/4-inch brad nails, while the finish nailer takes 18 gauge, 3/4-inch to 2-1/2-inch finish nails. There's also a multi-purpose stapler with a sturdy, durable design; it takes 18-gauge, 1/4-inch staples from 1/2 to 1-inch long. Each of these handy tools resist jams, and also offer a problem-solving jam release feature to prevent slow-downs from derailing your job. For added convenience, it's a snap to alter both the depth-of-drive and the exhaust port, and the non-marring nose tip and hardened driver blade ensure durability for long term, reliable performance. Additionally, the compressor provides maintenance- and mess-free results (no more oil spills!), has a lightweight, portable design, and can run on any standard household current. And its 10-Amp, 120-VAC motor, when combined with a full 6-gallon tank and 150 max PSI, has the power to complete all your fastening work in less time. The CFNBNS comes with one FN250B nailer, one BN125A nailer, and one NS100A stapler. These tools also arrive with a sturdy canvas carry bag, 6-gallon compressor, 40-foot air hose with coupler and plug, 3,000 fasteners, oil, and operating instructions.

I bought the 59 and took it back to Home Depot, then I took a chance on the 62 since I needed to get through maple consistently. If you'll never go through hardwoods this is a good gun, but if you need to punch through hardwoods you can't go wrong with the 62.

Porta-Nails 401P Porta-Nailer Hardwood Floor Nailer Review

Porta-Nails 401P Porta-Nailer Hardwood Floor Nailer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
What separates this nailer from other similar designs (e.g., Bostitch) is that it uses a ratcheting device that enables you to drive the nails with more than one swing. This feature works well, and is quite innovative. Learning to use a floor nailer takes some practice (and strength) to be able to drive the nail cleanly in one blow, and beginners will benefit greatly from being able to strike several times in order to seat the nail (or "cleat") fully. Those with experience will also benefit when nailing in awkward positions (those double-handed backhand shots) and close to the walls.
There is a drawback to this approach, however, which is that it will take twice as many blows to finish the job. The manual suggests that you should take two blows on every nail, and they discourage using a single, strong blow. But if you keep the nailer well lubricated (a dry spray lubricant like WD40 or, even better, BoeShield T-9), you should be able to drive the nail in one blow after the tool breaks in (and you break in :-). Lubrication is important, since it will help flush out the residue that builds up inside the tool. Bring the hammer up above your head, strike cleanly, and you'll eventually be able to sink the nail in one blow. Good technique is more important than strength, and this nailer will enable you to build good technique without the frustration of half-sunk nails.
A couple of other notes:
First, you CANNOT use the face-nailer shoe as the above post suggests. I looked at the online manuals from the manufacturer, and it looked like it would work, so I ordered the face-nailer shoe. It does not fit - the bolt holes do not line up, and there's no way to modify the piece in order to make them line up. I suspect this is intentional, which is unfortunate because it looks entirely possible and this would be a great feature. For those not familiar with "face-nailing," this is the way that you start and end each room, and it tends to be the most tedious part of any job. For a small project (a couple of roooms), you can get away with face-nailing by hand. Hold the nail (either a cleat or a 8p finish nail) in a pair of pliers to help avoid bending it. If you're doing 800 feet or more, I HIGHLY recommend purchasing a pneumatic nailgun. It will speed up the job drastically, and will take away the tedium of starting the first few rows or finishing the last four. Get a 15-guage finish nailer and drive nails every 5-6 inches (instead of 10 inches for the cleats). It's not cheap, but you'll find many other uses for the pneumatic nailer, such as putting in the shoe molding. It's definitely money well spent.
Even with a nailer, you're bound to still get bent cleats or unseated cleats every now and then. If they're bent, you can break them off by bending them back and forth. If they're too far in to break them off, you can grind them off with a Dremel tool and cutoff disk. If they're not seated all the way, you can countersink them manually. I use a replaceable screwdriver bit that has been ground off square on the opposite end, and hold it in a pair of Vice-Grips. It takes some practice, but works well.
Finally, buy more nails than you think you'll need. The boxes say that 1000 nails will cover 200 feet, but I think that's optimistic. I've done two houses now, and in both cases I used 50% more nails than they suggest. Try to buy the nails locally, since shipping them tends to break up the groups. You can find local dealers on the Porta-Nails web site, and they usually sell them at Lowe's or Home Depot.
To sum up, this is really an indispensable tool, and this model is a good choice. It seems durable enough, and is from an innovative small company (their router table is still one of the best out there). Good luck with your floors.

BOSTITCH INDUSTRIAL PALLET NAILER Model N89C-1P Review

See my review of the N80 I had. The N89C Bostitch gave me to replace the N80 stopped working yesterday. I took it apart. I cannot believe the drive pin is threaded into an aluminum disc with fine threads and no jam nut. A jam nut would cost $.05. The treads in the aluminum disc are stripped out. This is not a high use gun at the absolute most I have put 8 cases of nails through the gun in two years. Now I am hoping a cheap gun has inexpensive parts.
As it turns out the Piston cost $50.00. We'll see how long the new on lasts.

My business used these guns for over 2 years. Overall a good nailer but serious problems with every gun in the long run. The entire nose piece would break off. After this happened to three guns, two of these just after the warranty went out I changed brands. Sorry Senco but the price of the nose piece was comparable to buying a new gun.

This unit has turned out to be an exceptional value. All the nailers work great and the compressor of course has other uses around the shop.

Bostitch MIIIFS 1-1/2-Inch to 2-Inch Pneumatic Floor Stapler Review

Bostitch MIIIFS 1-1/2-Inch to 2-Inch Pneumatic Floor Stapler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the MIIIFS stapler to lay approximately 1,700 sq. ft. of 3/4 inch red oak flooring in my new home. After installing well over 1,400 sq. ft. here are some of my observations:
1) The tool makes it very easy for a novice to put down a nice, tight hardwood floor. If the boards are laying tight an easy swing of the mallet is all it takes to fully seat a staple (more on this later). If the board is warped the MIIIFS can stand up to a solid mallet smack without any trouble. The mallet's plastic face, by the way, does not show any signs of cracking so far.
2) The stapler efficiently uses the its air so you do not need a big compressor. I have been using a 1.5 hp unit with a 6 gallon tank. Output is set at 85 psi. I doubt such a small compressor could supply two nailers simultaneously, but it handles one quite nicely.
3) The stapler did develop a small air leak near the top shortly after I began using it. The amount of leaking is small (based on psi drop at the compressor) but does make a distracting noise. This leak does not affect the function or reliability.
4) At your starting wall you need to face nail the flooring until you get about 6 inches from the wall. After that you'll have enough room to get the stapler into position.
5) As you approach the far wall the stapler can be used up to the last 13 or 14 inches.
6) As mentioned earlier the tool only requires an easy mallet smack. However, if you don't swing firmly enough the staple will not seat fully. This is usually caused by crowding against the far wall and not having enough room to swing the mallet.
7) The firing knob is too stiff to actuate by hand reliably - the mallet is required. It would have been nice if there was a way to trigger the stapler by hand then you could use it much closer to the far wall.
8) I have not had any problems with jamming. The unit I've been using has reliably shot every staple right down to the very last one in the magazine.
9) I have heard some rumors of staple-style flooring nailers damaging the floor's tongue. After closely examining several hundred staples in oak I'd say that about 2 or 3 percent show any signs of tongue damage. Some of this infrequent damage is due to stapling through a knot or due to handling. Some is due to the MIIIFS. I'm not sure how this compares to nail-style nailers. Anytime you send a fastener through kiln dried hardwood you're bound to have some occassional splitting.
Would I buy the MIIIFS again? You bet I would. Despite its few minor shortcomings this tool has saved me a LOT of work and the price is lower than other pnuematic nailers that I've looked at.

Bostitch CPACK300 3-Tool and Compressor Combo Kit Review

Bostitch CPACK300 3-Tool and Compressor Combo Kit

(More customer reviews)
I would prefer to give this product 4.5 stars instead of 5
The CPACK300 has been great for my recent remodelling jobs. Compared to the cp3, the kit remains the same except for the change in compressor. From my experience with both kits, the CPack300 has a far more ergonomic & jobsite friendly design. As other have pointed out for the CP3, the compressor handle was poorly designed & weight and size has been reduced to produce the cpack300 compressor. It's a tad more powerful at 40 psi & so much easier to lug around. Guages are protected by a rubber rims & the compressor is as compact as can be, the design is queter than the previous design & queter that similar porter cable designs.(it'll still wake you up in the middle of the night if you keep it plugged in next to you )
All guns require a bit of oil, but work flawlessly. Bostich makes great products made for a lifetime & i'm sure this is no different. The guns have never jammed, and work fine with 3rd party nails, or brads... after about 2000 nails, i have yet to have a jam. The design is great, the guns fire comparatively quiet & have the dual safety feature.
The no mar tips are of hard plastic & in my opinion inferrior to the porter cable guns i've used prior to purchasing this combo. I do appreciate the comprenhsive kit that is included. basically you get a quality stanley tool bag, about $25 worth of nails, staples, and brads.
The only deduction i'd give is to the cheap pvc air hose included, i guess this is true with all pvc produces... it maintains its rigitity & it maye be tough going around corners, causing the user to tug it along. Also it doesn't wind as well as rubber hoses, I'm sure i'll be upgrading the hose once it shows its age.
The whole kit is probably 50 lbs total & take a very small footprint when organize.So far the whole kit is fantastic for the price i paid, about $270 after taxes. It's on par with more expensive kits & it give you alot for the money, including an impressive 7 yr warranty on the guns.
I've laid down about 1500 square ft of hardwood between this bostich & a porter cable combo that i borrowed off a friend. nailed in 150 ft of molding & fixed all sort of problems through out my home. I'd recommend this kit to anyone over the CP3 kit for anyone looking for a dependable nailer/compressor combo. CP3 kit has the inferior compressor

The Bostitch 3-Tool and Compressor Combo Kit bundles the 18-Gauge 2-Inch Brad Nailer, the 18-Gauge 1-1/2-Inch Narrow Crown Finish Stapler, and the 16-Gauge 2-1/2-Inch Straight Finish Nailer, along with the powerful 6-Gallon 2.0 HP (Peak) Oil-Free Compressor. This kit gives you the versatility you need for tackling a wide variety of finish and trim projects.
Pneumatic Fastening for Fast, Accurate Detail WorkDetail work comes in many shapes and sizes and requires you to use different types of materials. Choosing the right tool for each job is an essential part of making certain your finished products look their best. That's why this kit sets you up with three distinct pneumatic fastening tools.
Each of these well-balanced tools is designed to sit neatly in your hand, letting you maintain control and precision. And each offers a wide range of simple, intuitive features, from no-mar tips that protect your work surface to tool-free adjustable exhaust systems that direct air away from your face to keep you comfortable while you work.
Three Dependable Tools for Handling Tough JobsThe included 16-Gauge Straight Finish Nailer offers a convenient, adjustable depth guide and a quick-release nose for fast jam clearing. It is designed for handling nails 1 to 2-1/2 inches long, making it a great pick for moldings and door and window casing applications. The nailer provides 300 in./lbs. of driving power, a magazine capacity of 100 nails, and weighs in at four pounds.
Ideal for everything from staircases to cabinetry applications, the included 18-Gauge Brad Nailer makes use of the adjustable depth guide to set nails to desired depths quickly and conveniently. Behind its fast, reliable performance is the ability to deliver 145 in./lbs. of driving power. This nailer handles 18-gauge brads from 5/8 to 2 inches and weighs just 2.7 pounds.
Also included in the kit is the 18-Gauge Narrow Crown Finish Stapler, because whether you're working with cabinetry, floor underlayment, or upholstering furniture, a stapler is the right tool for the job. This stapler utilizes 135 in./lbs. of drive power to secure 7/32-inch narrow crown staples, features a bottom-load magazine for fast loading and easy jam clearing, and weighs 2.6 pounds.
All three of these tools offer a magazine capacity of 100 fasteners, so you don't constantly have to stop and reload, and each one is backed by a manufacturer's 7 year limited warranty.
Durable Six-Gallon Oil-Free CompressorBuilt to keep your tools running smoothly and reliably, the 2.0 HP (Peak) Compressor delivers 2.8 CFM at 90 PSI with a maximum operating pressure of 150 PSI for improved tool performance. This compressor's oil-free pump design requires less maintenance than traditional models, and its large, six-gallon reserve tank includes a ball-type drain valve for easy drainage at the end of each day. It also employs an impact-resistant composite shroud to protect important gauges from job-site damage.
Heavy-Duty Motor Operates Smoothly and QuietlyThe compressor's 2.0 HP (Peak), 1.5 HP running motor features easy startup and an expert design that draws 12 Amps without tripping your circuit breakers, so work can be done hassle-free. And the compressor's operation acoustics run at a quiet 72 dBA, making it ideal for use in smaller or more populated areas. The compressor is backed by a 1 year warranty.
Unlike kits that leave you guessing what accessories you need to get started, this tool and compressor combo comes with a heavy-duty airline that includes the necessary fittings, along with 3,000 appropriate fasteners and a canvas case to help you keep everything organized.
What's in the Box6-Gallon 2.0 HP (Peak) Oil-Free Compressor; 18-Gauge 2-Inch Brad Nailer; 18-Gauge 1-1/2-Inch Narrow Crown Finish Stapler; 16-Gauge 2-1/2-Inch Straight Finish Nailer; 1/4-inch x 40-foot PVC air hose with fittings; 1,000 2-inch 18-gauge brads; 1,000 1-inch 18-gauge staples; 1,000 2-inch 16-gauge straight finish nails; tool lubricant; and canvas tool bag.

I'm a small volume custom home builder with a crew of five. We install the hardwood flooring on most of our jobs. We have used a manual powernailer for years. Recently I purchased Bostitch's MIIIFN floor nailer and now have moved our manual nailer to the back of the tool bin. Just a light tap is all that is required to fire the nail. In the event the board is slightly bowed feel free to swing away and hammer the board in place. This tool is easy on my carpal tunnel and for those who aren't ambidexterious it's a snap to use with either hand. It does take some time getting used to dragging the air hose around with you, and you definitely need ear protection. But the benefits far outweigh these nuisances.
