All-in-One Flooring Nailer

The Freeman PF1618GLCN is a pneumatic 3-in-1 tool that drives both 16-gauge T-cleats and 18-gauge L-cleats for hardwood and engineered flooring. It accepts fastener lengths from 1-1/4 to 2 inches without magazine adjustments. The anodised aluminium magazine loads either gauge directly from any brand. This new air-powered nailer simplifies fastener selection on the job site.

Suited for Mixed Flooring Jobs

Installers who switch between solid hardwood such as oak or maple and thinner engineered or bamboo floors will appreciate the dual-gauge flexibility. It covers 5/8 to 3/4 inch tongue-and-groove hardwood with 16-gauge cleats and 3/8 to 3/4 inch engineered products with 18-gauge cleats. Buyers who only ever run a single fastener gauge or who prefer a dedicated single-purpose nailer may find the extra mechanism unnecessary.

Dual-Gauge Capacity and Limits

The tool comfortably handles the full specified range of 16-gauge and 18-gauge cleats up to 2 inches long, loading them without adjustment. It runs out of capacity for flooring thicker than 3/4 inch or for fasteners longer than 2 inches. The Proposition 65 notice indicates the presence of chemicals known to California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

What size air compressor and hose fittings does the Freeman PF1618GLCN need to run?

The tool is air powered and accepts standard 1/4 in. NPT fittings; you will need a compressor that can supply the pressure and flow the nailer requires for 16 and 18 gauge cleats.

Can I keep using my existing boxes of 16 gauge and 18 gauge L-cleats with this nailer?

Yes, the magazine loads any brand of 16 or 18 gauge L-cleats from 1-1/4 in. to 2 in. without adjustment.

How do I verify the nailer is driving cleats to the correct depth after setup?

Fire a test cleat into a scrap board; the head should sit flush with the tongue surface without damaging the board.
