Porter-Cable BN138 5/8-Inch to 1-3/8-Inch 18-Gauge Brad Nailer

Porter-Cable BN138 5/8-Inch to 1-3/8-Inch 18-Gauge Brad Nailer
  • Long-life, maintenance-free motor to keep from staining the work surface
  • Internal piston catch for consistent max power on every shot
  • Rear exhaust to keep contaminants away from work
  • Drives 18-gauge nails from 5/8-inch to 1-3/8-inch length
  • Tool-free depth-of-drive adjustment with detents for proper setting of nail heads

Since March,I have frequently(this afternoon in fact)used this brad nailer. I would advise anyone searching for an inexpensive,reliable 18-gauge nailer to buy this one.

However, please be aware of one problem that I had with this nailer. After its delivery,I tried using it with 3/4-inch PORTER-CABLE brads that I had purchased separately. The brads would not feed properly. Each time I used a brad,I had to open the nailer and push the entire row of brads forward in order to send another brad into the wood I was nailing. I nearly returned the item to Amazon, but instead remembered that I had once read comments that said that minutely different brad sizes could cause the feed problems that I was experiencing. Sure enough, a pack of generic(and cheaper)"3/4" inch brads worked perfectly.

Lesson learned: Buy the brad nailer; consider another brand of brads!

This isn't the most expensive brad nailer one can purchase, so I've waited until I've put several large boxes of fasteners through it before reviewing it. It's been a joy to use: light and maneuverable and reliable. It has a low enough profile to fit into small spaces, is easy to fire, easy to adjust depth, and sinks the brads consistently without marring the work. It's not especially loud, as pneumatic nailers go, and is easy to maintain. Finally, I am delighted by its build quality and performance.

I purchase this nailer to do some mouldings and it worked great. I have a finish nailer but its loud. The porter cable is really nice. I enjoyed using it. I would recommend over other finish nailers.

I have always been a Porter-Cable fan, since the early 80's. This Brad Nail Gun continues to support my faith. I have shot three different lengths on several wood projects, and I have not had a single mis-fire or jam. It is light, easy to load, easy to adjust depth, and has a good line of sight to the shot area. It works great. I can receommend this product without hesitation.

Bought this for doing the fine finishing and trim work on cabinets I am building. Works great and would recommend it to anyone.

  • Port Size: 1/2"

The filter is rated for 250 working psi which is amazing. The filter element is large and should function well. It doesn't come with a mounting bracket, but otherwise is a complete filter. Parts are mentioned on the manufacturer's website, but not all of them appear available yet. Sight glass looks usable. I will update once it has been in use.

Hardcore Tools® Pneumatic 2 in 1 Flooring Cleat Nailer / Stapler HARDWOOD FLOORING 1-1/2-Inch to 2-

Hardcore Tools® Pneumatic 2 in 1 Flooring Cleat Nailer / Stapler HARDWOOD FLOORING 1-1/2-Inch to 2-Inch
  • Light weight die-cast aluminum body. 2 in 1 Flooring Cleat Nailer / Stapler. Colors may differ!
  • Operates with any standard compressor using pressure of 60 to 100 psi.
  • High-capacity magazine reduces reload time. Precisely drives staples at proper angle and depth.
  • Non-marring adjustable base plates allows for 1/2 to 3/4 inch hardwood floor installation.
  • We currently ONLY ship these TOOLS inside USA via fedex ground.

I recently purchased the Hard Core floor nailer based on posted reviews and was not disappointed. The pictures really don't show this is a big tool and well built. I used the nailer to install 3/4" walnut flooring using Bostitch 2" staples and it only mis-fired once trying to push 2 staples through at the same time. I would attribute this to the manufacture of the staple and not the tool. Jamb was easily cleared and it never missed a beat again. The instruction manual stated it used 16 gauge staples and I had trouble finding that size. In fact it uses 15.5 gauge with 1/2" crown and Home Depot had what I needed. Excellent quality tool and the price is right. If your looking I would recommend this item without reservation.

I did my first floor with this tool. I have two more to do. It is a massive and well built tool. It came with everything I needed to get it working. I shot the L shaped nails purchased from Home Depot and it never miss or partially fired. I ran the tool off a small Craftsman air compressor. It's the one with the small tank about the size of a long two liter bottle. It kept up fine and the tool worked well with it. Highly recommended for the price.

I researched these things a long time but didn't want to pay the price for a named brand one as I wouldn't have used the same amount of time as a professional. Just for your information, I came across a lot of people warning against the ones that look like the handle is small and held on with two U bolts as they leak after awhile.

Anyone looking for a quality flooring gun this is IT! I am weekend warrior with no formal carpentery training. I did a lot of research looking for the best gun for a reasonable price. I was looking at the Bostich, Porter Cable, Senco and found the Hardcore on Amazon. I am glad I did. The reviews I read gave me the assurance I needed to make my final decision. I hope this review does the same for you.

I am currently doing 1500 sqft, 3/4 red oak in my house with staples. The gun is solid as a rock, easy to use and versatile because it uses both staples and l-cleats. It was setup and ready to go. I did need to tighten a couple of bolts to stop an air leak but no big deal. It jammed once and that's because I inserted too many staples. The tools design made it easy to remove the jam. I'd recommed this to anyone looking for a flooring nailer. At this price you can also buy a good compressor to go with it. Plan on spending another $50 to have it shipped but it's still a great deal. This is a smart choice for anyone looking to buy a 2 in 1 flooring nailer.

Item did not have an issue except with the Grizzly Staples (Which curl up in bizzare ways). Went to HD and bought their stuff and went through everything just fine The unit works with out changing a thing with staples and cleats. Did I say I love it. The case is great also. I am never renting again

I estimated it would take me less than two weeks to install about 1200 feet of 3/4 x 5 inch prefinished oak floor so I rented a nailer from Home Depot instead of buying this one, which I had selected after a lot of research. The Senco nailer I rented is a great tool but but with everything I had going on, I didn't have time available in the two weeks to get the job done. I returned the nailer and bought this one, which is what I should have done in the first place. Another life lesson.

This nailer is every bit as good as the Senco with one difference: the Hardcore is sensitive to how hard you strike it with the mallet. The Senco drives every nail the same if you strike it hard enough to activate the pneumatic action. If you don't hit it hard enough (when you're in tight spaces and can't get the clean shot) it just won't activate. The Hardcore will partially drive a nail if you hit it too softly.

It'll take you 30 seconds to get used to that. Out of about 5000 nails, I had to pull and redrive two due to my soft strikes. The nailer itself never misfired a single nail.

Use the Senco nails (cleats) available at Home Depot in the rental department. If you have a box left over, you can easily return them.

This is a great tool and the seller is top-notch, too.

  • Ideal for use on a variety of materials including wood and medal
  • Also use on plastic and ceramic
  • Standard 1/4 inch collet for all tupes of accessories

The tool works great! Only downfall is the plastic housing. The threads strip out over a while. I suggest using a swivel fitting the help.

I bought this to sand and sculpt wood. With a 36 grit disk on it, this tool eats wood quickly. I used it to remove a quarter inch of wood over a 3 x 5 inch area. It took only a few minutes to complete the task. Much faster than a rotary grinder that I have, but it's not for delicate work. My only complaint is that it isn't variable speed. Hmm, I have an update since I wrote this. I found that the tool trigger can be used to vary the speed, but you only have about 1/8" of pull from off to full speed. This makes it much more versatile, but requires a delicate touch.

It's a great tool for sculpting wood.
