Review on BOSTITCH LHF2025K Engineered Hardwood Flooring: Superior Performance and Durability by Robert Moloney

Worst tool I've ever owned

This is the worst tool I've ever owned. It made me want to shoot myself in the eye but don't worry it will likely misfire or jam so I'll be fine. I tried to use it to lay parquet floorboards. I literally couldn't get it to hold the whole board together before it misfired or jammed. The tool set up correctly and in fact the only positive thing about this tool was the ease of setup. When he actually fired the clip, the tool was fine. The shackle was fitted correctly and did not split the wooden tongue. Although most of the time the gun jammed when 1/4 of the clip was sticking out of the nose. Changing pressure and swapping hoses didn't help. In fact, one could tell by the sound of the previous clamp firing that the next clamp would be invalid. I have a Bostitch nailer, a finishing nailer, and a nailer, so I don't hate Bostich. I seriously wished the developer of this tool harm! My skill level is a serious DIY/home flipper.
