Tools and Hardware Reviews of Porta-Nail 42620 Flooring Nail/Staple Setting Tool
Customer Review: Another chunk of steel for the scrap pile
Summary: 1 Stars
This tool is a big, heavy piece of high quality tool steel. It's easy to hold and smack with a hammer. Now, what is it good for? It sure isn't setting flooring cleats. The head is too tiny and way too smooth - I gave it a good G.D. try on dozens of slightly high cleat heads only to have it slip off every time. I tried roughing up the face with a diamond file - no help at all. I went back to my tried and true oversize nail punch and tossed this one into the back of the tool drawer. I guess it's good for punching a lower case sans serif L into wood. Save your money - this is not the tool you are looking for. Move along.Customer Review: CP

Porta-Nail Flooring Nail/Staple Setting Tool
This is a must have tool to set the nail in the hard word floor.
Customer Review: Does what it should
Summary: 5 Stars
Not much to say here except that it performs as intended: to be struck with another piece of metal (hammer) to drive further into a piece of wood another piece of metal (cleat and/or staple). It didn't deform or shatter with repeated use, which would have reduced its rating. The knurled shaft is helpful when holding the tool in place on the head of the cleat. I used this tool on hardwood flooring cleats only, and thus cannot speak to its performance on staples. It does the job it should, and no regrets on the purchase.Customer Review: Don't waste the $

Spend a tenth of the price and get a regular nail set. This one slips off the cleat way too easily.Customer Review: Fabuloso!
Summary: 5 Stars
This nail set saved alot of time. The flat head on the top was much easier to set the L nails than a traditional set. The traditional nail set slid off the nail easier and bent the nails more easily. This made the project go much faster.
