Powernail: The Premier Hardwood Flooring Tools and Fasteners Brand

Established in 1950, Powernail is the leading company in the hardwood flooring industry, renowned for manufacturing high-quality tools and fasteners. The company's founders, Carl and Ed Anstett, revolutionized the industry with the development of the first "L" Cleat nail, making hardwood flooring installations significantly easier compared to previous methods.

Today, Powernail offers a comprehensive range of tools and fasteners for hardwood, engineered, and carpet installation, including:

• 16 Gauge Powercleats
• 18 Gauge Powercleats
• Flooring Nailers
• Carpet Staplers / Staples
• 18GA. Narrow Crown Staples
• 15.5GA. Flooring Staples
• Professional Quality Mallets

Powernail's mallet caps are proudly made in the USA from premium rubber compounds, ensuring exceptional durability and abrasion resistance.

One of Powernail's standout products is the PALM001 Power Palm Pneumatic 16/18-Gauge Flooring Cleat Nailer. This innovative tool virtually eliminates the need for top nailing on both hardwood and engineered, tongue-and-groove flooring. It effortlessly drives flooring cleats into softer hardwoods and engineered materials, and for harder wood species, users can simply pre-drill pilot holes before fastening with the Power Palm.

The Power Palm's compact, pressure-activated design allows for blind nailing of both 16 and 18 gauge "L" and "T" shaped cleat nails, even in tight spaces such as toe kicks and corners, thanks to its 360-degree swiveling bushing tip. It's designed to be held comfortably in the palm of the user's hand, providing a seamless and efficient flooring installation experience.
