Review: Quality narrow crown stapler for a great price - Comfortable to hold powerful narrow crown stapler. While spect’d as using 7/32 inch Bostich staples, on the recommendation of another reviewer I used 1/4 inch staples with no problem. Where this shines is attaching 1/4 or thinner plywood to case backs. While brads pull through these staples have great holding power. I’m now always mounting case backs to casework with staples. The oil-less operation is really helpful doing woodworking since the wood isn’t contaminated by oil. For homeowner or hobbyist application this will last a lifetime. I’ve seen pro reviews where Bostich guns last 20 years. This thing is a bargain at $109. The plastic case is sturdy with real hinges. I have another BOSTITCH Brad gun with a similar tough case providing great protection. Just a really nice unit I’m enjoying a lot. One surprise is that the gun does not have a quick clear nose. The Brad nailer snaps open. On the stapler you need to remove two hex recess screws (the hex key is included). Just a quibble, these guns are reputed not to jam often.
Review: Best Stapler out there - The first thing I did when I got this stapler is load it with 1/4 inch crown Senco brand 1 1/2 inch long staples and shoot into hard, dry fir. Sank them all, no problem. I have yet to use the Bostitch 5/32 crown staples. Rest assured, this is a 1/4 inch crown finish stapler. I bought this one because it's one of the few that have dry fire lockout. I find it quite annoying to have to constantly check the magazine to see what's left, and much more annoying to have to backtrack through blank holes. With this one you just shoot until it stops and then reload. Love it! The belt hook was another must have for me. I recently put up 100+ cedar fence boards with stainless steel staples (1/4 inch crown of course) and that hook was a very convenient time saver. This stapler does have tool free jam clearing although it works differently than most. Instead of unclipping the front half of the nose piece, you simply open the magazine and the rear half slides back with it giving you access to any jams. Haven't had to use it but a nice feature. Oilless is a very nice convenience as well. The only con for me is the case. It's sturdy enough but has very little room for extra staples. The tool itself is definitely 5 stars.
