Question by llckll: Can I use the Dewalt DC618K nail gun to install hardwood floors?
I was planning on installing locking hardwood floors but have read some mixed reviews on them. So now if I want to install real hardwood floors, can I use my nail gun?

Only for the first row. After that, the floor boards are blind nailed through the tongue with a flooring nailer or stapler. This is much more secure, and looks better, then face nailing the boards. As you drive the nails/staples, it pulls the boards tight to the previous row and closes the gaps. Hope this helps.
