It is recommended for use on 3/8", 1/2" and 5/8" tongue and groove flooring, as well as some 3/4", exotic and solid wood flooring. The 50M uses a thinner 18 gauge cleat that is less likely to split the tongue on thinner woods and provides a reliable bond to the underlayment. This is a very robust nailer and it should do an incredible job at smaller jobs. We don't recommend it for larger work over 300 sq. ft. as it will invariably produce lots of arm strain due to its reduced handle size and greater amount of required exertion over a pneumatic model.Fri, 16 Oct 2009 07:25:00 -0000/reviews/hand-tools/fasteners/powernail-50m-manual-floor-nailerFastening ToolsHand Toolshttp://www.protoolreviews.com/reviews/hand-tools/fasteners/arrow-ht50pbl-hammer-tackerArrow's HT50PBL Heavy Duty Hammer Tacker is a unique product that swings and hits like a hammer, driving a staple with each blow. Typically you use a product like this for anything ranging from installation of roofing insulation to tacking down roofing felt, carpet underlayment, or other materials. The HT50PBL hammer tacker features an all-steel construction with a rubberized coating that helps absorb impacts and delivers a nice grip.

This is not only more ergonomic, it also applies the most pressure to the point where the staple is firing, delivering more power and control with less effort. This makes the tool easy to use, but also gives it an unusual mechanism which is more prone to jams.Fri, 04 Sep 2009 11:55:00 -0000/reviews/hand-tools/fasteners/arrow-powershot-5700-staple-gunFastening ToolsHand Tools
