    do the nails that you so often find at the foot of the jamb destroy the roberts blades

    does it kick back hard when it hits a nail

    handman, i havent done that yet but ive done the other in the same position, the electric cables

    big flash and bang, it messes up the blades something chronic

    at the same time the tool stops working and the lights go out as well

    thats the crazy modern world we live in

    mostly goes through nails no probs,
    occasionally (if you are dropping the power when you catch a nail) it kicks.
    Buy from carpet suppliers "floorwise"
    if you are in north east i can get you one.
    If elsewhere just go to local floorwise tell them you are a fitter for any local flooring shop (just make it up) and they will sell you one.

    i have a small flooring compay so i'm not a joiner i'm a floor fitter, carpets/vinyl/laminate/hardwood.
    (and soon to be ceramic)
    So yes i do specialise in fitting wood floors, but as far as joinery goes i'm just a keen diy-er like many others on here.

    Chilli,
    flooring is an ideal way into joinery work.
    It is quite straight forward so you can turn out a good job easily and it can lead to other work
    Customers will always ask for other work, rehang doors, skirting etc.
    I can't be bothered but one of my fitters picks up all sorts from staircase spindles to decking to kitchens and he has no joinery qualifications at all he is just keen and is very particular about the work he turns out.
    when he takes on a new type of job he acceptd that the first time he does it he will end up with a low rate of pay because he spends more time on it than a joiner would but he sees it as a learning curve and he will be quicker next time.
    And yes good luck tomorrow!
