Review on 🏞️ Lightweight Freeman PDX50C Flooring with Ergonomic Design by Peter Parks

Revainrating 2 out of 5

In general it worked fine. However

In general everything worked fine. However, the nail puller has "2 stops" built in to hold it against the board before you drive the nail in. From time to time, if I wasn't very careful, he would find the wrong stop and drive a nail into the front (finished) surface of the board instead of the tongue of the board and wreck the board. Bad design! Also, it doesn't drive T-nails all the time (it should work with T-nails, L-nails, and staples). It doesn't pinch, but sometimes it just doesn't serve and won't hammer in a nail. L nails worked well. I don't know if it was bad nails or a broken nailer. I called Freeman tech support but they didn't help - none of their suggestions worked. They suggested I send it back to Revain as it would take them over 2 weeks to get a replacement! I was in the middle of a job and didn't want to wait more than 2 weeks (Revain also took about 2 weeks) Poor quality control on nailers or nails or both!

Pros
  • Power tools and hand tools
Cons
  • Large and bulky
