Tools and Hardware Reviews of Akuzuki Hardwood Floor Flooring Stapler & Cleat Nailer Nail Gun
Customer Review: Why spend more?
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a fairly new DIYer installing 3/4" hard teak flooring in most of our 2nd floor. Overall, I am quite impressed with the nailer, given that it is priced at a fraction of the cost of some other nailers. I have not used other flooring nailers, however, so I have no experience outside of this tool and therefore cannot compare performance. Nevertheless, the tool is performing as it should.
PROS:
1. Accomodates both flooring nails and staples.
2. I am using 2" staples with a 1/2" crown, as recommended by the flooring manufacturer. I have experienced no jams after installing approximately 250 square feet of flooring (although driving the staples has caused a number of split flooring tongues). Reducing the compressor PSI seems to reduce the frequency, but has not eliminated the problem.
3. Gun actuates consistently.
4. Despite the hardness and thickness of the flooring, the gun has no problem driving the staples deep enough to counter sink them...no predrilling required.
CONS:
1. Manual is photo copy quality and hard to read in some spots. There isn't much to learn to operate the tool, but I may find the documentation lacking when I eventually need to rebuild the tool.
2. Since the gun is actuated by stricking the trigger with a rubber mallet (provided), the tool cannot be used on the last 2-3 rows of flooring adjacent to a wall. A model with a squeeze trigger (as on finish nail guns) would solve this. I don't know if this feature is available on other higher priced models, but it would be nice to have.
3. Since the part of the tool that houses the nails/staples sticks out of the back of the tool, the tool cannot be used on the first 2-3 rows of flooring adjacent to a wall. A model with a more vertical nail/staple cartridge would allow using the tool closer to the wall on the first few rows of flooring.
4. Make sure that you wear appropriate hearing protection, as the nailer is quite loud.
