Tools and Hardware Reviews of Porta-Nail 42620 Flooring Nail/Staple Setting Tool
Customer Review: Flooring Nail Setting Tool
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm using cleat flooring nails and found this tool completely worthless for setting them into hard maple. The tip is basically equivalent to a slot screwdriver, so it slipped right off of the nail head when aligned. I found a standard medium head nailset simpler and more effective.Customer Review: Flooring Nail Setting Tool
Summary: 4 Stars
This nail set is a bit expensive but it does make setting those flooring nails easier. It seems to be made well and is quite heavy duty.Customer Review: Good concept but staples aren't flat.
Summary: 3 Stars
Good concept but staples aren't flat. If the staple was at all above the wood, it would bend. Only useful when sticking up less than 1/16.Customer Review: Good tool to have ...
Summary: 5 Stars
I only needed this to install the first and last rows of hardwood and it works excellent. I used it with Bostitch 2 inch nails.Customer Review: Good when used for its intended purpose
Summary: 4 Stars
I am quite sure this tool was made strictly to set nails which are just barely above the surface of the wood when the porta-nailer did not drive them in completely. I've seen some other reviewers saying some negative things about this nail set but personally I have not had the issues they are describing, relating to its usage. It has worked out quite well when I used it to set some slightly raised T shaped cleats into the tongue and groove flooring. I have not had any problems with it. I do however feel the need to drop 1 star because that MSRP certainly is above what I think a nail set should cost, even if it has a more unusual shape. I think eight dollars would be more appropriate. Would I buy one again? Yes- because it is useful to me, but at over thirteen dollars plus shipping, that price tag certainly makes me frown a bit.
