Choosing the Right

Primatech Nailer
City Floor Supply carries several different Primatech nailers.
So how do you figure out which one you should get?

To give you an idea of which Primatech nailer would work

best for your situation, here’s an overview of the models we
offer.

Primatech PRO P245 F

(FT, FL): This is a fixed-
base, pneumatic tool. You
can use the P245 to install
3/4″ thick flooring (or 1/2″
to 33/32″ with the adaptor
plate, available for
purchase separately.) This
nailer will get you closer to
walls than any other nailer
on the market (check out
the new Primatech Edge!), and the all-around striking head
drives the nails into the floor 100%, independently of the
force you use to strike it. You can use the P245 (as well as
most of the other models covered here) from a natural
standing position, making this a simply exceptional tool. An
add-on roller base is available for purchase separately. Use
the P245 to install domestics and exotics, solid or
engineered.

Primatech 250A (ALR): The 250A series features versatile

nailers––you can use them to install solid and engineered
hardwood floors alike, and domestic or exotic species from
5/8″ to 3/4″ thick. These nailers come with a built-in
adjuster, so you don’t have to worry when matching the
thickness of the floorboards. You can even adjust the height
of the tool itself. The factory-installed roller base allows you
to glide along floorboards as you fasten them. The 250A
features the all-around, responsive striking head that most
Primatech nailers are known for, making fastening that much
easier. The 250A models have a high-speed discharge valve
that can hold several rounds of nails or staples at a time, for
less time spent loading the tool and more time securing
floors.

Primatech 250 ALG: Designed specifically with gym floor

contractors in mind, the 250A ALG provides a very
comfortable user experience. You can assume natural
standing position while using it––no more kneeling down for
hours on end to install flooring. The 250 ALG features a
rotating and adjustable
handle so you can operate
the tool from a comfortable
position. The nailer
features built-in, non-
marking rollers, allowing
you to move the tool
effortlessly along the
edges of the floorboards
as you fasten them. It also
features a quick-loading
extended channel magazine. The 250 ALG model has a fully
adjustable base. You can
use the 250 ALG to install
engineered and solid floors
3/4″ to 33/32” wide.

Primatech Q550 (AL,

ALR): This nailer is perfect
for use with engineered
flooring because it uses a
thinner, 18-gauge cleat.
Factory-installed rollers let
you continue fastening as you move the tool. This is a very
versatile tool––the adjustable base lets you work with
flooring 3/8″ to 3/4″ wide. You can use the Q550 with
engineered, solid, and domestic or exotic species. The Q550
features an all-around striking head. No matter how much
pressure you use to hit the head, the fastener will go
completely and securely into the floor. Maintenance is
easy––this nailer has very few moving parts, and the air
cylinder and driver blade can both be removed in under 1
minute for easy reassembly or replacement.

Primatech Q500: Use this to install 3/8″ to 5/8″ solid

hardwood flooring. It’s got an easy-
to-load nail channel and weighs in at
only 4 pounds. This is a manual
nailer, meaning that you’ll have to
strike the head several times to drive
the nail into the floor, as opposed to
only striking the head once with a
pneumatic nailer.

Primatech H300: Weighing in at

only 7.5 pounds, the manual nailers
in this series can be used with all types of hardwood flooring,
from 3/4″ to 33/32” (or 1/2″ to 5/8″ with the use of an
optional adapter.) You can use the H300 series nailers with
T-type or L-type nails. The feeder allows for very quick
loading of your fasteners.

Primatech R610: Designed for installing 9/32” to 9/16”

engineered hardwood flooring. The built-in tapping block
allows the nailer to be actuated with a light tap, and you can
also use nailer from a natural standing position. Just like the
other Primatech nailers, the R610 features an easy-to-load
fastener channel. Uses 1-1/4″ L-type nails.
