Porta-Nails 404p Face Master

Consider three approaches to deal with nail hardwood flooring (eg, 13/16 "strip oak):

1st Hand-mouth. Drill a small pilot hole, so the nails do not bend. It is a slow, tedious, and prone to damage the floor if (when), the hammer misses, or if you have to pull a bent nail. Nails will not hold, and Porta-Nails, and you can hurt your hands / fingers when the hammer misses the nail, which, when countersinking the nail head. However, this approachdoes not require expensive tools.

2nd Pneumatic master. For example, 15 gage finishing foreman with 2 "steel nails This is the easiest way. In all you do is pull the trigger. You need a strong master of both, or nail head, may need to manually countersunk with a nail set. The main negative with this approach is the nail will not be there, as well as the Porta-Nails flooring nails (which Barb to keep the nail in), so the floor can work loose over time. To reduce the loosening, gluefloor down, use more nails, or choose an option 3rd

3rd Use this facial master. Having a good technique is essential to achieve good results. The master base plate is a hard, slippery, nylon-like material, if of course it should be slip-resistant. Therefore, the SIT on the floor, the master, with the bottom of the foot on each side of the master to stabilize it, hold the hammer with both hands, and gently hit the drive-head master of the [heavy]Porta-Nails hammer. Use a good whack, but not so hard you try to run it with this blow, then give it a second whack of the countersink the nail (if you're hit hard enough). You with both hands on the controls. Your most powerful hammer blow could drive nails with the first whack, but it provides less control over the hammer and thus more likely to stop your feet when you miss. If you really trust an assistant to miss that person could drive the hammerblows. If you hold the instrument with one hand while leaning over or kneeling, and whack the head with a hammer to drive, which took place on the other hand, you better hope the nail countersinks for this blow.

Using three approaches, this manual facial master works well. Except barbed nails that really grab the main reason to use this tool is the hammer blow at the same time tighten the board to sub-floor when running the floor nails / cleats. Other methods do not constrictboard for the sub-word identical, and do not hold nails as well.

Porta-Nails sells conversion kits for the master in the face of the cleats master. Operating, but it takes time to perform the conversion. If you only occasionally need to master in the face that is a good approach, but if you're doing something a lot of work, you will waste a lot of time with this approach.

You might also consider a tool that is necessary hammer blow (to reinforce panels) and air tocountersink the nail in one whack. However, these nailers cost much more than this manual tool.
