I am about to start a couple of Bruce 3/4 inch hardwood
floor projects (2 homes). I want to purchase a nailer, but do not want
to spend $500.00 or more for the pneumatic type. I can get the manual
type for considerably less. I have never used the manual type before.
What's the trade off? Will the manual type do the job as well?

I assume it is the type you whack with a hammer. Helped my son put in
one. Took a little more care, and mananged to hit the wall a couple of
times. For a BIG job, or doing a lot, how about renting the air driven
stuff???

I have rented the manual ones and they work fine. Millions of floors
have been installed with them. It's a real workout though. I have
never tried a pneumatic one so I can't compare. -- H

Tradeoff is physical labor. Buy the pneumatic and sell it on ebay when you
are done.

I agree. I bought a nice Bostitch from amazon and I'll just put it on
eBay someday in the future.

I rented one from HD and decided that owning and reselling gave me the
time to do the job right (or just slowly :).
