Hi, I layed an oak floor about 2 years ago using a hired porta nailer. Even though it gave a good finish I found it back breaking! This time I was hoping to buy an electrical nailer for approx £100. Am I waisting my time or is there anything out there that would do the job? The flooring is 18mm solid oak T & G. Thanks.
No dont buy an electric or use a paslode type framing nailer, the flooring is very likely to fail. If you find it hard work try buying a second hand pneumatic floor nailer it will take all the effort out of installing but make sure the air supply is at a constant psi.
