Before portable pneumatic tools came onto the jobsite these were seen on most hardwood flooring jobs. We still have one or two that bear the Rockwell Porta-Nailer name (when Rockwell owned Porter Cable). As far as I know they still work – but now there are more choices and refinements. As an example, we have Bostitch (SX150-BHF2) pneumatic staplers with dedicated shoes for Bruce flooring and others for laminate flooring (LHF97215-2). While these are smaller guns – the stand-up design still has its advantages – and we use both pneumatic staplers and nailers that follow the same form and use a hammer to trigger the action.
