Duo-Fast’s New FloorMaster is Faster & More Precise

Duo-Fast has introduced their new FloorMaster 250BN, a 16 gauge hardwood flooring finish nailer. This new addition to Duo-Fast’s lineup aims to provide a faster and more precise way to perform blind and face nailing during hardwood flooring installation.

Some of the new features included in the FloorMaster 250BN include: a 45° detachable non-marring nail guide to protect floor, wall, and cabinet surfaces and allows for more precise nail placement; a depth-of drive design to help eliminate tongue splitting; and a nail lock-out to prevent blank firing.

Greater line-of-sight, more precise nail placement – sounds great! We’re also told that the 250BN is designed by hardwood installers, for hardwood installers. This is a policy that we’re happy to see more and more manufacturers using in the development of new tools.
