Review on NuMax SFN64: Lightweight πŸ”¨ Pneumatic Nail Gun with Ergonomic Design by Brandon Barrett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money Finish Nailer

Available for $39.95, premiered next day, thought I'd give it a shot. We have an oak hardwood floor project - 350 square feet of 3/4" thick solid red oak and 2-1/4" prefinished planks. This pistol will compliment the larger Harbor Freight Ground Nailers. I oiled this gun by opening the box and loading it with 2.5 inch Bostitch nails. I did a few test shots by driving the nails straight into a 3/4" thick red oak board at 90psi. After adjusting the depth adjustment knob, on the third press and after that the nail head was firmly flush with the surface of the board - perfect I think this gun is great for installing the first and last few rows of floorboards on a wall that a big nailer can't reach. He hammers nails with authority. I plan on keeping this gun in good condition, and I'll report on how it fares on our wood floor project It appears to be well built, good value for money if it lasts a while and judging by its looks there's no reason to think that it won't last long. Update 1: Day 2, about 500 2.5" nails through the gun. Not a single jam or miss - fire. Sticks nailheads ideally into the quill of oak floorboards. The front row alongside the wall has enough clearance to the gun's "leg" to nail the board about 5/16" from the back edge - ideal for covering with a baseboard or semi-circular shoe bar. Oiled and cleaned up while we lay the floor with nailers and boards!
