[3 Stars]: Not for all brands of wood.
I purchased the adaptor for my 401 nailer to use on 1/2" solid flooring. I had used the nailer for 2 other floors that were 3/4" solid hardwood and had experienced little or no problems. The results here were quite different. I immediately started damaging the finished edge above the tongue because the nailer was bottoming out along this edge at least 1/32" before the nailer contacted the tongue. It was crushing the edge of the wood when the impact of the shoe was brought to force against the wood. I needed to use this nailer so I fabricated a brass spacer to take up the space which allowed the plate to strike the tongue first and thus eliminated the problem. It appears that all wood manufactures do not mill there wood to any type of standard and therefore, on size 3/8"-9/16" nailer does not work with all woods. That problem solved, I am now experiencing numerous bent over nails which also destroys the wood. Haven't figured that one out yet, but it isn't the shoe.
[5 Stars]: Did a good job
I bought this shoe for my Porta nailer. It worked well and changed my life.
