Tools and Hardware Reviews of Porter-Cable FCN200 Pneumatic Flooring Cleat Nailer

Customer Review: Excellent Pneumatic Floor Nailer
Summary: 5 Stars

I have used this tool to install 1000 square feet of 2&1/4 red oak hardwood flooring and have found it to be an excellent tool. There is an issue as other posts have stated with the last nail. What I found usually would happen is that when then second to last nail is driven, when moving the nailer to the next spot on the floor for nailing, the last nail falls out of the nailer. This is usually not a problem and a good way to know that it is time to load more nails. There can be a problem if you slide the nailer along to move it to the next position in which case when you hit the nailer plunger, the nail may be driven awkwardly into the finished portion of the wood requiring you to rip out the piece of damaged wood. This happened to me twice during my install. I figured it was my fault for not monitoring the nail supply closely enough. I did experience one nail jamb with this same scenario and it was easily fixed with the supplied wrench. In my opinion, to have only 3 issues with over 7,000 nails driven, is an excellent score (99.96% success rate). I highly recommend this tool.

Description of Porter-Cable FCN200 Pneumatic Flooring Cleat Nailer

The Porter-Cable FCN200 Two-Inch Flooring Cleat Nailer drives 1-1/2 to 2-inch cleat nails quickly and efficiently. Durable and built to last, this nailer features a 100-cleat, rear-load, gravity-feed magazine with bypass pusher, and it has a well-balanced, stable design for dependable results in both traditional and engineered hardwoods.


The Porter-Cable FCN200 Two-Inch Flooring Cleat Nailer
At a Glance:
  • Drives L-shaped cleats from 1.5 inches to 2 inches
  • Pneumatic driving action of 70-100 PSI
  • Strong, lightweight aluminum housing
  • Ergonomic design
  • No assembly required


Durable, lightweight aluminum construction is heavy-duty without sacrificing comfort.
Balanced, Ergonomic, and Powerful
The FCN200 features a balanced, ergonomic design, and it stands upright for easy, stable use. It also has a low center of gravity that allows it to stand independently without falling over.

And because the FCN200 is made from durable, lightweight die-cast aluminum, it's heavy-duty enough to complete tough jobs, yet comfortable enough for extended use.

The FCN200 uses a compressor to provide air at approximately 70-100 PSI. It weighs just 13 pounds and arrives preassembled with an angled air hose nipple.

L-Shaped Cleat Extends Floor-Life
Whereas traditional flooring nailers use staple fasteners that don't allow for wood expansion and can shorten the life of a floor, the FCN200 utilizes an L-shaped cleat as its fastener. This cleat allows the floor to contract and expand naturally, even as it holds the floor in place.

And because standard 3/4-inch-thick solid hardwood flooring requires 2.0-inch cleats for secure installation, the FCN200 accepts cleats measuring from 1.5 to 2.0 inches. This means you can handle flooring materials of various thicknesses, including thinner engineered woods.

Additionally, the hammer head is short enough to allow the compressor to get close to the wall for installation of starting rows.
