Porta-Nail 421P Pneumatic Floor Nailer with Both Line Nailer Shoe and Face Nailer Shoe
If you invented the perfect hardwood flooring nailer, you’d make one tool for both face and tongue nailing, pneumatic power, superior fasteners, a generous magazine and flexibility for different flooring thicknesses.
Porta-Nails beat you to it. With a simple hardware change (two nuts and a screw), the 421P becomes a face nailer or angle nailer, saving you time and exertion on those first and last few rows of face-nailed flooring and speeding you through the rest of the installation. Connected to a compressor, the 421P needed only a squeeze of the safety trigger and light mallet blow to pneumatically drive the 2-inch serrated nails through the tongue and into the subfloor. Porta-Nails’ exclusive "ratcheting ram" doesn’t return to the start position until the fastener is properly seated, so you know every nail you drive is doing its job. You’ll want to adjust your pressure to get just the right countersink before going ahead with your project, but be sure not to exceed 110 psi.
If the nailer should jam, clearing is quick and easy, because you don’t have to remove the shoe to open the latch clip. Fasteners load easily, and the magazine holds 200 2-inch nails, so you spend more time installing and less time reloading. We liked the fact that the shoe bases are all non-marring, and the rubber mallet is capped, too, to prevent marking your flooring.
There’s really only one mistake you can make with this nailer, and that’s to work too hard. You’ll be tempted as we were to grip the nailer tightly and really give it a good hit, but trust us: You’ll get far better results by relaxing your stance and delivering a comfortable blow to the ram.
It’s easy enough for the first-time home do-it-yourselfer to install a floor and save a bundle on labor costs, and the professional will use it on every hardwood installation job. Definitely worth the investment.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

The Porter-Cable FCN200 Two-Inch Flooring Cleat Nailer
At a Glance:- Drives L-shaped cleats from 1.5 inches to 2 inches
- Pneumatic driving action of 70-100 PSI
- Strong, lightweight aluminum housing
- Ergonomic design
- No assembly required

| 
Durable, lightweight aluminum construction is heavy-duty without sacrificing comfort. |
Balanced, Ergonomic, and Powerful
The FCN200 features a balanced, ergonomic design, and it stands upright for easy, stable use. It also has a low center of gravity that allows it to stand independently without falling over.
And because the FCN200 is made from durable, lightweight die-cast aluminum, it's heavy-duty enough to complete tough jobs, yet comfortable enough for extended use.
The FCN200 uses a compressor to provide air at approximately 70-100 PSI. It weighs just 13 pounds and arrives preassembled with an angled air hose nipple.
L-Shaped Cleat Extends Floor-Life
Whereas traditional flooring nailers use staple fasteners that don't allow for wood expansion and can shorten the life of a floor, the FCN200 utilizes an L-shaped cleat as its fastener. This cleat allows the floor to contract and expand naturally, even as it holds the floor in place.
And because standard 3/4-inch-thick solid hardwood flooring requires 2.0-inch cleats for secure installation, the FCN200 accepts cleats measuring from 1.5 to 2.0 inches. This means you can handle flooring materials of various thicknesses, including thinner engineered woods.
Additionally, the hammer head is short enough to allow the compressor to get close to the wall for installation of starting rows.
What's in the Box
FCN200; mallet; oil; wrenches; and 1/4-inch air fitting with dust cover.
