Editorial Review:
The Porter-Cable FCN200 Pneumatic Flooring Cleat Nailer drives 1-1/2 to 2 inch cleat nails into the floor quickly and efficiently. Made from extremely durable and lightweight die-cast aluminum, the FCN200 features a rear-load gravity feed magazine with bypass pusher. It's also a very balanced, stable floor nailer so floors go down smoother and with less hassle. Its air fitting is angled and out of the way of the mallet, and the ergonomic design of the nailer allows for comfortable operation without the usual strain of other floor nailers. The magazine is capable of holding up to 100 cleats and firing them at 70-100 PSI pressure.

Porter Cable FCN 200 Pneumatic vs. Porta Nailer Pneumatic
I purchased and used the Porter Cable FCN200 Pneumatic Flooring Cleat Nailer and found it to be an excellent tool for the job. I also used the Pneumatic Porta Nailer. In comparison, I experienced no jams or miss fires with the Porter Cable but several with the Porta Nailer. While I prefer the nail design of the Porta Nails over those of the Porter Cable, I expect little or no problem with them holding the floor. They were, however, difficult to find and wound up using Bostitch 2" nails. The Porter Cable... more info
Very Satisfied
I am very satisfied with this nailer. I laid about 450 square feet of 3/4" floor and had zero problems. Other reviews mentioned concerns with the last nail firing erratically...Several times I fired the last nail with no problem, other times, the last nail just dropped out before I had the chance to nail it. A carrying case would be nice, but, if you're not using it on a regular basis, it's just as easy to store it in the box it comes in. Overall, I am completely satisfied with the product and would... more info
