Straightforward enough for the do-it-yourself flooring installer, yet durable enough for the professional, this mallet-actuated flooring nailer comes with a rubber mallet so you're up and running out of the box. Great for installing hardwood and engineered flooring, this nailer is lightweight but incredibly well-made. It drives 1-1/2- to 2-inch, L-shape, serrated cleats into tongue-and-groove, 3/4-inch solid hardwood as well as engineered flooring. An aluminum housing ensures optimal jobsite durability and easy handling. A long reach handle means less bending at the waist for better comfort and control. Rubber bumpers along the tool body help protect the floor from damage, a big plus when installing pre-finished flooring. Best of all, a 200-cleat magazine means fewer reloads, so you get the job done fast. Bostitch backs this tool with its 7-year warranty. --Brian D. Olson

Works good:
I bought this nailer to install my flooring and it has worked great, it does especially well to pull any warp out of the boards to give a tight fitting joint. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is only because of the included mallet--the handle is too thin and does not have any grip to it. I had to wrap the handle with a thick layer of tape to be able to hold onto it.
Impressive nailer:
Purchased the refurbished nailer and everything looked new right out of the box. Have several other Bostitch nailers which have worked fine over the past decade. Nails were easy to buy here in Florida but have to wait a few weeks to use it up in NC. Delivery was prompt and no complaints here so far and can't wait to use it. I'll write back with a 5 star rating after I get a chance to use it.
a mistake:
I purchaed this nailer to install 700 square feet of new flooring. Thinking this was a better idea than renting a nailer. When the day came for the installation I had to hire an hourly worker to install the floor because of my schedule. In the first 10 minutes the MFN200 broke. I had to go to the box store and rent a nailer afterall. I bought this nailer based on personal experience with Bostich and they did repair the nailer at no cost but now I am stuck with a nailer that has 10 minutes of use in it. And... more info
Broken:
The thin metal bar that drives the nail down was broken upon arrival. So I would have to give it the lowest rating.
