The Porter Cable floor nailer is ergonomically designed to make the work of nailing a floor easier and at the same time protects the floor planks from damage. A Porter Cable flooring nailer is a pneumatic nailing tool that makes the job of installing hardwood floors much easier. After nearly one hundred years of innovation under its belt, amongst one of the company’s most popular products is the floor nailer.

It comes in a number of models and designs all designed to make nailing and fastening jobs much easier. In addition to the floor nailer, the air nailer models include tools designed to drive brads, finish nails, staples, framing nails and roofing nails.

A long History Of Building Quality Tools

The Porter Cable company has nearly 100 years experience making high quality tools, including the Porter Cable floor nailer. The company was started in 1906 and has a long history of innovation and quality. By the 1930s the company employed 190 people and was making both professional quality and “Guild”, or home shop tools. In the 1960s the company was sold to Rockwell International and moved from Syracuse, New York to Jackson, Tennessee. Quality suffered during the decade of the 1970s and the company was sold again in 1981. The new owner, Pentair, Inc. renamed the company Porter Cable and began working to re-establish the company as a leader in the power tool industry. In 1995, Porter Cable jumped into the pneumatic tool market, firmly establishing the company’s name and reputation as one of the leading power toolmakers in the world.

Porter Cable nailers are available wherever quality power tools are sold. These outlets include industrial supply stores, home improvement centres, lumber yards, building supply stores, hardware stores, plumbing/HVAC wholesalers, woodworking machinery dealers, rental outlets and through e-tailers.

The Porter Cable floor nailer is another in a long list of innovative, high quality tools designed to make work easier. The company once again enjoys the reputation as an leader in the field of power tools. For professional hardwood floor installation, the first choice of many is the Porter Cable flooring nailer.
