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.
