Besides knowing that Dewalt is a brand I trust, the best part is that you can drive nails very tightly or with little space with this nailer, to expand and contract the soil. They really do have wonderful control for an air nailer. It arrived on time and in great shape. I wish the case came with it, but I'm glad I chose this one anyway. Despite the home project price tag, I would have no hesitation in using this tool as a daily floor layer. We install Lumber Liquidators 3/4" x 2 1/4" red oak prefinished MAY natural floors. ($2.97 sf) I also recommend the underpayment pictured! It's made for roofs, but it makes a great moisture barrier, and the netting will keep your rows straight and foolproof as long as you follow your popped lines and set them right. We are very happy with this tool.
