Reviews Factory-Reconditioned BOSTITCH U/MIIIFS 1-1/2-inch to 2-inch Pneumatic Flooring Stapler

Factory-Reconditioned BOSTITCH U/MIIIFS Stapler works great! No problems what so ever while installing 900 square feet of 1 inch red oak flooring. Product looks and operates like new. The price was half what the "big box" retailers were selling for.

Factory-Reconditioned BOSTITCH U/MIIIFS 1-1/2-inch to 2-inch Pneumatic Flooring Stapler never jammed, it never misfired. It was a great tool and made installing the floors a breeze. It's still a lot of work, as you have to pound the stapler with the hammer each time to fire it, but it's much easier than doing it manually. The floors look beautiful. 

Reviews BOSTITCH EHF1838K Engineered Hardwood Flooring Stapler

Installed 2100 sq. ft of engineered hardwood last week. The BOSTITCH EHF1838K gun performed perfectly. One comment: the instructions are vague about how to load the staples. Most guns I have used load from the top. This gun loads from the bottom, but the manual does not tell you this. I had to call Stanley-Bostitch to find out how to load the staples.

The adjustable cleat has lots of degrees of freedom, but once I set it up, it never moved or required any adjustment throughout the job. I like that the safety won't engage when the clip is empty preventing dry-fires. The drive depth was consistent from start to finish. I have an adjustable regulator on the hose end and once I dialed it in, I never had to touch it even after starting/stopping over multiple evenings. 

Reviews BOSTITCH MIIIFN 1-1/2- to 2-Inch Pneumatic Flooring Nailer

One of the best tools I've used in 20 yrs of carpentry. The shoe sets the board perfectly. No jams so far after 5 boxes of nails. Couldn't ask for more. In the event the board is slightly bowed feel free to swing away and hammer the board in place. This BOSTITCH MIIIFN 1-1/2- to 2-Inch Pneumatic Flooring Nailer is easy on my carpal tunnel and for those who aren't ambidexterious it's a snap to use with either hand.

This tool makes laying a hardwood floor almost fun. If you are laying a prefinished floor, I would also recommend the optional foot (MIIIFOOT). It does take some time getting used to dragging the air hose around with you, and you definitely need ear protection. But the benefits far outweigh these nuisances.
