Review on BOSTITCH BTFP12569 2 In 1 Flooring Tool by Chris Moody

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's the perfect tool for tongue and groove flooring!

Not sure which tool to rent or buy ? Product reviews have given me some insight, but more questions than answers. Communicating with landlords was a waste of time. In my case I ordered a nail gun from Revain which was returned after discussing my needs with a contractor/friend. In short, I chose a versatile nailer that could accommodate plank nails or staples of varying lengths. Second, thickness is very important and Bostitch BTFP 12569 uses 15.5" bottom cleats and/or 1 1/2 or 2" L-cleat deck nails. Third, a pneumatic tool wasn't absolute but certainly a nice convenience, so once again the Bostitch nail gun was perfect for my needs. Also included is a nice hammer with a wooden handle. Finally, the price of the Bostitch BTFP 12569 was so cheap that there was no point in renting an inferior tool that would then have to be returned.

Pros
  • Replacement non-scratch backing pads for floors 1/2" (12.7mm) to 3/4" (19.1mm) thick
Cons
  • Available in black only
