Tools and Hardware Reviews of Porta-Nail 42620 Flooring Nail/Staple Setting Tool
Customer Review: not so hot
Summary: 2 Stars
This flooring nail setting tool was admittedly handy, but it was actually unnecessary for setting the flooring cleats we used. In fact, we used a regular nail set quite often in our project when the cutter had the fancy tool and all the nailer had was a finish nail nail set. If money is no object, by all means, buy one. If you're doing a small project or want to do it on the cheap (my usual mode), then just use your nail set!Customer Review: Just a slug of metal but very useful
Summary: 5 Stars
You know, you double-nailed or stapled, last connector in the pneumatic tool, whatever the case and the nail/staple doesn't go in all the way...this cheap little guy has just the right tip to help you drive in the nail/staple. It was cheap and arrived on time. Definitely well worth the frustration of using vice grips to pull or break out the nail/staple or a screwdriver and hammer to drive it in.Customer Review: The right tool for the job
Summary: 4 Stars
Four stars for high price.
These must be available to professional flooring mechanics but I've never seen one before. Expensive for a nail set but works better than the screwdriver I was using. The rectangle shaped point fits any brand "T" or "L" style wood flooring cleats and 1/4in. staples (maybe 5/16 also). It doesn't slip off the nail head as easily as a standard nail set.
Customer Review: Not sized well for the L-nails
Summary: 2 Stars
The setting tool is sturdy, but the tip is too small and has no "catch" to help it seat onto the nails. Something a little larger or with an alignment ridge would have been better for my purposes. If you already have a decently sized nailset, this one offers little additional advantage. Otherwise, it's plenty well made and held up to use just fine.Customer Review: you will need this!

I used this tool, while installing Heart pine 3/4 " tongue and groove. Even with a pneumatic nail gun,with the air pressure turned all the way up ,some nails still had to be set with this tool.If you are laying really hardwood, Oak,Heart Pine etc.. and you are using a L or T nail this tool is a must have. It is well made and it works.
