Tools and Hardware Reviews of Akuzuki Fasteners Floor Cleat Nails 2-inch Flooring L-nail (5,000 Per Box)
Customer Review: Working Great for Us
Summary: 4 Stars
I just completed installing 1500 square feet of 3/4" Brazilian Walnut (Ipe) tongue and groove flooring. This wood is hard; the second hardest wood in the world, and the nails went through just fine. I used the Akuzuki pneumatic nailer to drive these nails. Upon reading such good reviews on the nailer we decide to purchase it. I decided the nails should come from the same manufacturer as the nailer to keep everything consistent. True to all the reviews I read, the nailer works flawlessly. I cannot say whether the nails have had any impact on this.
One note of caution if you are installing Ipe wood: The wood supplier recommended no less than 90 lbs. psi when driving nails through Ipe. We used a couple test strips of wood and slowly increased the air pressure on the nailer until the cleats were set properly. The Akuzuki was setting the nails perfectly at 75lbs. psi. so that was the air pressure we used. At the beginning of the job, we had to remove some of the planks that we had nailed because of a mistake we made in measuring a distance in a two-room transition. Upon removing the planks, we found that many of the cleat nails were going through the Ipe planks and then curling back into the planks. The cleats were not going through the subfloor. After doing many tests and consulting the wood floor supplier, we determined that 75 lbs. psi. would drive the cleats through the Ipe but did not create enough lasting energy to drive them through the subfloor. We turned the psi up to 90 lbs. as recommended and did not have another problem.
If you are going to install your own floor and plan on renting a floor nailer, I recommend the Akuzuki nailer and fasteners. At an average daily rental charge of $30.00 per day, the Akuzuki will have paid for itself in only 10 days. If you are installing a wood floor of any size, it is going to take longer than 10 days. Also, a friend installed his floor with a manual nailer that he rented for $30.00 per day and used for approximately 15 days. That was $450.00 and his should was soar for a month. After watching me use the Akuzuki air nailer, my friend says he would buy one if he had to do it all over again. I hope this review is helpful to anyone looking to install their own flooring and any company looking to purchase a good pneumatic air nailer and cleats. I am not one to write product reviews but I believe this product deserved my due diligence.
