If you want your hardwood floor to last and be squeak-free, these are the only nails you should use. They set, grip, and hold better than any nail we have EVER used. They are AWESOME!!

These 2" nails are actually easier to set than the 1.5" nails that I started my 1000 sq. ft flooring project with. Amazon does not sell the 1.5" (but the Porta-Nail company will). I concur that it will make your second story floors squeekless (or almost totally quiet). These nails are very high quality, and they DO qrip. Once into the wood (or bamboo - in my case) they will not come out of your piece of flooring. I highly recommend this product.

If you try to pull this nail out from the floor even it went in only 1/3 of its length, you would break it before you can get it out. That's how strong the grapping power this nail has. I used it to stop the sqeaking in old floor before I put the new Brazilian cherry and maple floor on top. If you want your floor to be quiet for the years to come like I do, choose this one. There is nothing better or even as good as this one.

We just finished building a log home with just over 1400 sq ft of T&G oak flooring on the first floor alone. I bought the PC pneumatic Hammerhead flooring nailer and 8 boxes of these cleats. As in other reviews, if the nail only partially goes in, you have to break it off. The floor is solid and I don't have a single loose board or squeak anywhere (and I didn't even overkill on the nails like I usually do and had two plus boxes left over). I also found Amazon to be the best buy. I highly recommend this cleats, they do exactly what their supposed to do.
