Tools and Hardware Reviews of Porter-Cable FCN200 Pneumatic Flooring Cleat Nailer
Customer Review: Flooring nailer
Summary: 5 Stars
Great Nailer, work very well.
Stainless Steel CLEATS for the nailer are not carried/stocked on a normal basis. I suspect this is due to the cost of Stainless Steel.
Stainless Steel CLEATS can be obtained from " Swan Secure Products, Inc. 410-360-9100.

Over 4000sqft of Brazilian Cherry and Hickory flooring put down with no problems. Keep it full of nails and it will work great every time.Customer Review: Good...But needed some tweaking.
Summary: 3 Stars
Geez, it looks so easy on TV, but I was getting horrible results with 5/8 bamboo. The tool would shift when I hit it, the bamboo was splitting and the nail was hitting on the end of the tongue, so that the next board would catch on the nail.
First of all, order the right cleats. 1 1/2in for 1/2 or 5/8 material, 2in for 3/4 or bigger material.
After studying the instructions again and again, I saw a diagram at the end of the setup instructions, showing the base plate resting flat on the board, and the nose of the tool sitting on the tongue of the board. The diagram wasn't referenced in the instructions. My tool certainly didn't do that -- it looked like it might have been set up for a 3/4 or 23/64 thick material. I shimmed up the base plate (the plastic part that rests on the board you are nailing) with about 1/8" inches of paper, and everything looked great. From there, the tool worked flawlessly, drove the nails just where they should be, no splitting, and drove them deep enough that the next board didn't get hung up on the previous board's nails.
So I hope that PC might add some instructions on shimming up the base plate or better yet, ship plates of different thicknesses. Otherwise, its been a great tool.

This is an outstanding floor nailer. Very easy to use, very easy to set into place and then without hesitation, the nail is set into 3/4" oak.Customer Review: Great Nailer

This floor nailer worked great, no jams, no problems what so ever. Easy to use, it did the job that it was supposed to do.
