Fitting 3/4" hardwood floors

Hi,
I'm trying to fit 3/4" hardwood flooring and I need a finishing nailer to face nail the start and end boards. I was wondering if anyone could recommend one. I'll use a standard flooring nailer for the parts in the middle of the floor.

Thanks,

  • Buy or hire one like this. One tool for T&G and face nailing.

    Could you not screw them down using something fine like tongue-tite screws, if you've taken the skirting up you can hide them under the skirting edge.
  • If you choose to screw through the face then counterbore the screwhole. Fill with plugs made from an offcut of your hardwood flooring for a really neat finish.
