in theory yes it will work.

you want to ensure that the boards are tight together and that you nail angles back and down into the joists and countersunk.

that said, it is much better to use a manual or pneumatic hardwood nailer, they are easier to use, faster, does a better job, and made for the specific application.

consult your hardwood manufacturer for nailing patterns and distances as they can change from manufacturer to manufacturer. The norm is about 10"-12" but check with them to be sire for your specific product.

So far its working very well. I have been using lots of brads, nailing every 6 inches or so. Sometimes more. The nailer is light and easy to use. I have gotten the nailing angle down easily too. the joints fit tight and the boards stay down well. We'll see how it lasts.

also ensure the boards are tight to the floor by pushing them down or standing on them as you nail .. sometimes they are bowed upwards and if nailed no tight to the floor surface, they can cause furture squeaking.

good luck
