Good! Set the compressor to a fairly high PSI rate ( 100-120 )

You want the nails to set flat, not sink or sit proud.

I "chase the high sitting nails after installing each board and sink a hand nail next to each one that sinks too deep. "You can't overnail a subfloor".

Use 1 1/4" nails. 120 to a coil.

Wear ear plugs, hold the gun in you left hand and aim/guide with the right. Two handed gun work will save your elbow from the rebound.

Make sure the nail gun you are buying is set-up for repeat nailing with the trigger held down. The lever on the nose trips the hammer when you touch your target. You will get faster than you compressor can keep up with.

Let 'er rip!!
