Purchased these nails for use in the Akuzuki nailer that everyone is raving about (me included). The nails are good-to-go right out of the box, and for half as much as I'd be paying at HD or Lowes. The only nuisance is that some of the nails un-stuck themselves from each other, just like you'll find in a box of office staples. Kind of a pain to have to pick out and load individual nails instead of just pulling out an entire line of 'em, but I got over it.

The nails worked fine although I would use the 2" nails with the 5/8 bamboo flooring (they are stocked locally) on my next job.

I used these cleats on 9/16 engineered wood. The manufacturer of the wood suggested 1 1/2 cleats or staples. Since the big hardware stores only carry 2 inch, I decided to buy these. They worked great with the manual floor nailer I also purchased from Amazon. Since these nails were shorter I was able to drive them in to the wood with greater ease than the 2 inch cleats. One problem was if a cleat got removed from the entire row, that wayward cleat would sometime cause my floor nailer to jam as it would some time turn in the loading chamber, but that could happen to any brand or size cleats.

I purchased these 'L' cleats to use for installation of a strand bamboo flooring of approximately 640 square feet. They performed well and despite the hardness of the material, they never deformed or bent. They worked very well in an Akuzuki pro-series cleat/staple nailer. The only reason I gave them four stars rather than five is because they seemed to separate rather easily when handled prior to loading into the stapler. I don't know whether other brands of flooring cleats do this as well, and they otherwise performed flawlessly. I would purchase again.

Needed some nails for a nailer I purchased elsewhere ....theses did the job. Didn't have any jams in my nailer. Finished my flooring job with no issues so I would buy these nails again next time I need some

Unfortunately we have not had a chance to use these nails but it will be a bit of a pain once we do. They were loose in the shipping box and rattled around in there and came unglued from each other so we'll have to feed them into the nailer piece by piece. At the most there are maybe 20 nails stuck together. So when I was in town I purchased 2 boxes at $5 more than Amazon but will be worth it in the long run with the time saved feeding nails into the nailer.

These nails were great. We purchased two boxes, but only needed one. We used these on 3/4" Hickory hardwood flooring. Good quality, recommend these.

Flooring cleats are very well designed for their purpose.
The points are actually a round, very sharp chisel that prevents splitting the tongues off the flooring. Then as you travel up it tapers to a flat L-topped nail with ridges on the edges (to grip the wood better.
These cleats are stamped metal and are somewhat soft, which is a good thing when the occassional mis-hit bends one over(very easy to twist off with some pliers and move on.)
I used 1 1/2inch cleats with the Bostich manual nailer for which they were designed. Highly recommend.

The product was what it was supposed to be, but by the time the product got here, I had to go elsewhere & purchase it because I had already started the job.
