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. 

• Adjustable precision knobs adjust for ¼-Inch to ½-Inch laminated flooring
• Over-molded rubber grip for comfort and maneuverability
• Muffled rear exhaust to direct air away from workspace
• Non-Marring trip tips so you don't accidentally damage the flooring
• Easy sight tongue engagement so you hit the pocket every time

I have been in the flooring business for over 12 years and have found the bostitch engineered nailer to be very dependable for do-it-yourselfers or professional flooring installers. We sell all types of both solid and engineered flooring and use these guns on a regular basis. Take care of your equipment,set and use it correctly and it will provide you with years of service.

The Bostitch EHF1838K makes it easy for you to correctly install hardwood and bamboo flooring. An easy-sight tongue guide helps you accurately drive staples into the pocket every time. Additionally, a non-marring cap ensures you won't scratch or mark your flooring material, and oil-free operation means you won't damage or stain your floor with accidental oil spills.

Designed to work with almost any flooring size, the Bostitch EHF1838K features adjustable knobs for fastening flooring of varying thicknesses. Adjust between 5/16 inch and 7/16 inch for solid hardwood, or between 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch for engineered hardwood and bamboo applications.

I recently purchased this BOSTITCH EHF1838K Engineered Hardwood Flooring Stapler to put down 500 square feet of engineered wood. The stapler is easy to setup for the thickness of the flooring and performed flawlessly. 2500 staples later my arm is still attached to the rest of my body due to the lightweight and ergonomic handle. Well done Bostich!
