Editorial Review:

Hardwood flooring installation can be either an arduous task or easy-breezy: It all depends on the tools you're using, and it's no wonder Bostitch calls this stapler the "Floor Runner." It's the perfect floor stapler for the professional installer because it fits a huge array of 1/4- to 1/2-inch laminates from just about every maker, adjusting for different thicknesses without tools.

It works but has some problems.:

It will staple engineered flooring down but be prepared for more than a few bent and twisted staples. Unless you apply heavy pressure against the flooring the bent staples will damage the edge and you will need to remove it. Perhaps I have a lemon and you will have better luck than I did. Hope it works better for you than it did for me.

Well-made product:

My previous hardwood installs were done with adhesive, and I wasn't about to go through that mess again, so I decided to buy a stapler. I research heavily before I make a purchase such as this, and as usual, it paid off. I drove about 4000 staples on the first job with this stapler and it went great! It was easy to set up, easy to use, lightweight but not cheaply made, and the learning curve was smooth and easy! As long as you make certain the stapler is positioned correctly on the board you're good to go.... more info

Excellent!:

Worked perfectly right out of the box. Reading the reviews where folks had trouble I'd almost bet they were doing it wrong. This is an extremely light-weight stapler and until you master using it, it's easy to not have it pressed firmly onto the tongue of the plank or not have it at 90 degrees. Also the air pressure must be regulated at 80 pounds. Sure, I had some misfires but in probably every case it was my fault, not the gun's. Occasionaly I'd hit a screw in the subflooring and that would do it too.more info

Better than Renting:

Bought this to install 5/16" Oak Hardwood. Tool Rental place wanted $39 a day. Got this for $219 . Wasted a lot of time trouble shooting why it was only firing 4 staples before craping out. Thought the Stapler had a problem but turned out to be my old air hose. Switched out with a new one did the trick. After figuring out the adjustments and setting the right air pressure it worked very well.
I would recommend this to anyone and also suggest you buy the Bostitch staples too at the same time. They can... more info
