The only option with the cleat nails they give you is the length of them . 1 1/2” or 2 “ . Gauge is irrelevant . Good for 3/4” thick flooring only . My go to cleat nailer for a very long time . **Q: Is this too powerful for Brazialian Chestnut? (PS, Maybe part of the issue was the size of the cleat ... that it should be 18 gauge rather than 15 to avoid splitting.)** A: I agree with Finbar. This gun would NOT be too powerful for solid Brazilian Chestnut. It has a Janka (hardness) rating of 3540 whereas I used it on Brazilian Cherry which is 2760. The higher the rating, the harder the wood. This chestnut is the second hardest in the Janka list I found by The Hardwood Guys. Google is your friend! We used this gun to install about 2000 sq. ft. of Brazilian Cherry. The gun never failed. I would only warn you that you may have misfires when the nail count is close to the last nail, so watch your nail count and refill before it gets down too close to the end. Also, you want to make sure that you are giving your gun enough psi because a drop can also cause a misfire (partial penetration). I would set the compressor to automatically build back up to the max psi that you choose (see what the gun requires). We hung somewhere between 90 psi and 100 psi, if my memory serves me correctly. I highly recommend this gun. Even a 5'4" computer-girl could use it! **Q: Hi, even though bostich speficies 16 ga, people have used it with 18 gauge L cleats. Does anyone know what brand 18ga cleats have worked? Freeman??** A: BOSTITCH offers a conversion kit, part # MIIIFN-KIT that provides all of the parts necessary for this conversion. The tool will then drive the Bostitch FLN-150 and FLN-200 flooring cleats. **Q: If I buy the 15 guage cleats from Lumber Liquidators do you think it will work in the MIIIFN or will it jam. Where do I find right ones if need to?** A: The Bostitch cleats are 15.5 gauge. 15 gauge cleats will probably jam. Even the right size cleats will jam occasionally. I had one or two jams in each room that I did. I bought mine at Home Depot. Any store that sells Bostitch nailers will have them. ## Frequently Bought Together - BOSTITCH Flooring Nailer, Pneumatic, 1-1/2- to 2-Inch (MIIIFN) - 2 PACK BOSTITCH FLN-200 2-Inch Flooring L-Nail, 1000-Per Box - BOSTITCH Flooring Nails, L-Nail, 2-Inch, 1000-Pack (FLN-200) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1834561-hardwood-flooring-cleat-nailer](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1834561-hardwood-flooring-cleat-nailer) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
