Will this find nails through carpeting to locate floor joists?

I think it will. I'd suggest that you use blue tape to mark positives and take the average from many data points as an answer. I was able to find metal as small as the leg of a construction staple imbedded (about 1/8") in wood consistently.

It's designed to work on non carpeted flooring. If the pile of the carpet is too thick it will not work well.

It should--the key is sinking the screw into the joists rather than the subfloor. So, as long as you can figure out where the joists are you should be good.

No it specialized for flooring.. Air staplers are cheap. This is a nice tool, don't mess is up by disabling the saftey

I am certain it will. I have cut through some high tensile heavy duty decking nails and fasteners that are much thicker. You must remember that it is a vibration action tool so hold your workpiece well.

We used it on thin, indoor/outdoor carpeting, and Berber, small pile. if you have thick carpeting, not sure how it will work

I do not see it on the nail gun or the info book , but go online to www.freemantools.com or call 1-888-669-5672, It is a great tool for the price, I have installed over 2000sq ft. of flooring with no problem or jambs , a few miss-fires so always use a little magnetic stud finder to make sure you are getting the proper amount of nails installed

YES! There are a number of available attachments for many different applications including floors!

ABSOLUTELY! This is just what you need, it tells you the exact moisture where the contacts touch the wood. There is a small button on the face right under the word GENERAL that allows you to pick wood or concrete. I use it on our Maple flooring in the summer to see where we are with water content.

Yes, this nail gun will nail any kind of flooring from the thinnest thickness up to 3/4" thick, and it must be tongue and groove. this nail gun is much better than most people think. It works very well and well worth the money. I hope this helps and good luck with your project.

The gun works on flooring up to half-inch. It will except any quarter inch crown staples.

Yes, it has a setting for hardwood floors, low pile and high pile carpeting. It does the job.

Yes it will nail it all the way. Sometimes it stops before the nails are flush, but just line it up on the head of the nail again and hammer down. It will work.

This detector wont be able to tell the difference between gold and nails in your floor boards. Gold and iron are similar based on how the detector works. As far as trying to find a bracelet inside your home with one, that part im confused on. Do you think somehow it fell in duct work or in a crack in the hardwood floors?

It probably would, you might have to pop a starter hole first if the carpet is really thick. I am done with the pliers I bought if you want to buy mine. Let me know.

I believe that you would need an actual flooring nailer for that application. The Bostitch Stapler is designed for Engineered Flooring which is basically a veneer plywood floor not more than 1/2" thick. Not for solid wood flooring and not for anything 3/4" thick. Hope this helps!

I.m a Home Improvement Contractor and I have one of this tool, Dewalt Floor Nailer. The way this floor nailer is designed it will not scratch pre-finish floor. I recently installed the Bellawood flooring and came out beautiful. You can't go wrong with this tool. Tony with "Rent A Man Renovations" New Orleans
