Hardwood flooring nailer



I am about to start a couple of Bruce 3/4 inch hardwood
floor projects (2 homes). I want to purchase a nailer, but do not want
to spend $500.00 or more for the pneumatic type. I can get the manual
type for considerably less. I have never used the manual type before.
What's the trade off? Will the manual type do the job as well?
Tradeoff is physical labor. Buy the pneumatic and sell it on ebay when you
are done.
I have rented the manual ones and they work fine. Millions of floors
have been installed with them. It's a real workout though. I have
never tried a pneumatic one so I can't compare. -- H
I had a bunch of siding to do so bought a siding nailer on eBay. I
planned to turn it around when I was done (along with a half a box
of stainless nails), but haven't yet. There are a bunch of
"flooring staplers" on eBay.
