I plan to install T & G hardwood strip flooring. I’m in possession of a floor nailer and ready to go. Question #1: Which holds better, nails or staples? Question #2: When I reach the opposite wall, where my nailer can’t be used, face nailing becomes necessary. Will a 15 guage, 2-1/2 finish nail, fired with a finish nailer, hold the last couple of rows sufficiently?
Thank you!

nailing hardwood flooring
how thick is the hardwood flooring?
Hardwood flooring
3/4"
Thanks!
More importantly...
What kind of subfloor? OSB does not hold well. PC has developed flooring cleats for osb subfloors. I use Advantec subfloor and nails
Sub floor is unknown at this time. I think it may be 3/4 T&G plywood.
Thank you!
