Duo-Fast announces the release of a patent-pending hardwood flooring finish nailer

Duo-Fast the leading brand of carpet and flooring installation tools, announces the release of the patent-pending FloorMaster™ 250BN Hardwood Flooring Finish Nailer. Proudly supporting the carpet and flooring industry for over 40 years with quality products, this addition to the Duo-Fast family of tools provides installers with a faster and more accurate way to install hardwood flooring.

The Duo-Fast® FloorMaster 250BN is a hardwood flooring finish nailer designed by hardwood installers for hardwood installers. Duo-Fast spent time with hardwood installers nationwide and took their comments and suggestions to manufacture a tool specific to their needs. The result of this effort is the patent pending FloorMaster 250BN. The tool features a patent pending 45º detachable no-mar nailing guide and no-mar pads that protect floor, wall and cabinets from marring, scratching and/or denting and a bump fire actuation that increases productivity.

Blind nailing isn’t so blind with the FloorMaster 250BN, which offers an increased line of sight and precise placement into the 45º pocket of the tongue. In addition, the tool features a patented depth of drive, which helps to eliminate tongue splitting and a patented nail lock out that eliminates blank firing. The Duo-Fast® FloorMaster™ 250BN uses 16 gauge finish nails which leave a smaller, less visible hole when face nailing but drives with ease into all wood types including denser exotics like Brazilian Cherry.
