I've posted before and am doing about 2000 sqft of flooring with my brother very soon. I want to get the Stanley Bostitch air nailer and he is considering the PortaNailer. He's saying that he's heard the manual nailer will keep the wood tighter.

I'm thinking that a lot of staples to be manually driving.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

I have never heard anyone say the manual nailer keeps the wood tighter. I bet it will take you three or four times as long with the manual nailer.
Good Luck

That's what I thought.

Thanks,
