Practically all the best flooring nailers and staplers are pneumatic (compressed ‘air’ powered) since they are generally the most powerful of the nailer / staplers on the market, which is what putting down flooring tends to demand. Indeed all of the flooring nail guns under consideration here are pneumatic floor nailers. Now before you look at the flooring nailer comparison data below, you’ve got to ask (and answer) these few questions first…

What is Your Flooring Nailer Stapler For?

The best flooring nailer for you is dependent upon the use to which you’ll be putting it.  At the very least you’ll need to consider the following questions:

• Do you need a flooring nailer or a flooring stapler – or both?
• What’s the thickness of flooring that you’ll be putting down?
• Is the flooring soft or hard wood.
• Is this a one off flooring project (possibly home DIY) or is this an ongoing (professional) requirement?

The approach that we’ve taken to establish the best rated floor nailer is to summarize the key features of interest for a set of nailers / staplers(*) products. Then to compare and contrast between the different products – that limits the amount to focus on. Then we delve a bit deeper at a  product level to determine the ideal one for the job in hand – for instance the best hardwood flooring nailer or the best bamboo flooring nailer.
