Product Description
This is a reconditioned power tool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like new condition. Some tools may contain cosmetic blemishes. Ready to use straight out of the box, Bostitch MFN200 Factory Reconditioned 2 Cleat Manual Flooring Cleat Nailer, comes along with a rubber mallet. Simply unpack, load, and strike to nail down and construct stable flooring. Ideal for DIY as well as professional installer this power cleat nailer drives 1 ½ to 2 inches nail with minimal effort. Gun it on hardwood or engineered floors and set the tongue-and-groove joint right for once and for all. The long reach handle of this cleat nailer enhances the comfort of use besides adding to the control. You need not bend every time to strike this nailer. The sturdy aluminum construction makes Bostitch MFN200 endure jobsite abuse. Use it for yourself or let your friends borrow; rest assured this tool will be with you for years. Being a non-pneumatic tool it assures a jam-free operation and lets you smoothly nail an L shaped serrated nail at every strike. More over the rubber bumper prevents the flooring from any sort of damage leaving it neat and spotless. With a magazine capacity of 200 cleats you are freed from the effort of frequent reloading. The 9.5 lbs Cleat Nailer is lightweight, can be easily ported at jobsite and stably drives a nail through ¾ inch hardwood flooring. Includes: MFN200 Cleat Nailer and Rubber Mallet.

5 out of 5 stars Good Product for Those Strong Enough To Use It   March 15, 2010
W. Shelton (Chester County, Pa, USA)
You need at least, the strength, and eye and hand coordination necessary to drive framing nails to use this tool. If you can't do this, consider a pneumatic nailer instead. The Tool is rugged and well designed. It is designed for 3/4" flooring and is non-adjustable. I found that I could nail within 6" on the nail-feeding side, and 14" on the driving side. You will need to manually nail within those bands near walls. Also, I placed a plywood sheet on the wall or slider when I was swinging the hammer close on that side. On the positive, this was the first floor I installed. I used Bostich 2" hardwood cleat nails, which worked very well with few splits. We now have a 3/4" teak floor in our kitchen and everyone is happy with the outcome!


5 out of 5 stars good deal   March 12, 2010
mike mike (ann arbor, mi)
This product worked really well. Way cheaper than renting for the 500 s.f. of flooring I had to do.


4 out of 5 stars it is what it is....   March 5, 2010
J. Pridemore (Uriah, AL)
If you are tight with your money, or you like a simple no nonsense tool. Yes, there are air powered versions available, but for 3 to 10 times the price this is a low cost alternative for those who dont mind smacking with a hammer. Only draw back is if your not in very good shape, you will know it after a couple of hours. Be carefull when you get close to the walls not to smack it with the provided hammer. Outside of that, its no-nonsence, very few moving parts. Has a 7 year warranty.


1 out of 5 stars not so good   February 16, 2010
E. Baechle (MO USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The tolerances are too lose. Failing 20%. Many times it won't set the nails fully, there appears to be no adjustment(other than shiming the base). At times it drops 2 nails sending 1 almost correctly and the other thorough the corner of the board leaving it protuding half way. Not what I expect of Bostitich. I would have bought a cheap air-nailer if it was half this bad. (I didn't what to carry a compressor or hear it.)
I have used 3 air-nailers. The Porter Cable was the best.
One of the other reviews stated it was hard to use because 'you have to hit all in 1 shot everytime'. No, there is a ratch system. Apparently he didn't use it.
Last year it was $150 then $129 by Dec. Now $59 ??



3 out of 5 stars Need two people to make it work properly   February 11, 2010
Joe123 (USA)
We wanted to put in hardwood floors (tongue and groove kind) ourselves and we did not want to rent the expensive, noisy, and energy-intensive pnuematic pump etc. We also did not want the time pressure to have to do the job quickly to minimize rental costs.

So we bought this. This works fairly well and at times we made fast progress. But we needed two people - one person to hold the staple gun down so it does not move while the one person used the hammer.(I was the one to hammer. My shoulders are still somewhat sore after 2 weeks!).

It would have been better if the gun had long pedals on both sides to hold it down and stabilize it with one's feet. Also, it takes some time to get a hang of it and initially it is quite scary. And sometimes, no matter how hard and well you drive the hammer, the staples dont go all the way in. When this happens, it takes some work to cut off the piece that is sticking up and to punch the rest of the staple all the way.

We are not totally thrilled with this but then for us it was a decent solution given our goals.
