Review on πŸ”¨ HARDWOOD FLOORING: Enhanced Staples for Conventional Flooring Installation by Andre Bennett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great stapler for a one time job.

I installed 525 sqm. Engineered wood feet 1/2 inch thick. I bought this stapler specifically for this job. Now that I've done that, I can make another one! Here are my random impressions: * A stapler usually works great. I used 1 1/4" slotted braces in the floor liner. I replaced the carpet with 7.5" wide engineered wood using a combination of staples and glue. I paid $109 for a stapler and it was about half that other staplers (like Bostic, etc.).* When sewing, you MUST be in the groove every time. EVERY TIME. If you don't follow everyone you're going to make a mistake. none of them pierced the ground or dug too deep. Well, maybe this was partly my fault, experience first but there were still too many of them so I deducted a star Fair or unfair, you can decide.* You MUST be sure to put your weight up or make an effort. like shooting a pistol. Don't limp your wrist.* My stapler required a little over 100psi for accurate stapling 90-99% of the time.* At the end of the job I was shooting MUCH more accurately and faster when stapling, had to it n Only occasionally put a high staple.* If I were practicing this professionally, I'd test a few different staplers for comparison to see how they shoot. This stapler is adequate, but others may be better.
