Review on 🏠 BOSTITCH EHF1838K Engineered Hardwood Flooring: Superior Quality for Ideal Home Floors by Danny Zapata

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Also for hardwood floors such as Bruce Natural Selections (see allowable thickness in description)

THIS ALSO APPLIES TO HARDWOOD COATINGS SUCH AS Bruce Natural Selections. It is also suitable for other multi-layer wood floorboards. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO STANDARD THICKNESS FLOOR PANELS. It is very difficult to know which tool fits Bostitch. Bruce's recommended 5/16 thick Bostitch stapler for the national selection is almost impossible to obtain and more expensive. This stapler replaces the previous one and also works for engineers. I can't find any downsides compared to the one specific purpose they mentioned - this one does more. It even comes with 1000 1-inch staples, which are the most commonly used for natural selection. It's a finely crafted tool, easy to use and set up, and requires little to no air to load. It fits Bruce's natural choices like every other Bruce in the guide and seems most affordable. There are now other brands that you can find for $79-$108 that people have found suitable for their projects. For me I'd rather spend a bit more to get the best tool in which I at least think I'll have less hassle. You get what you pay for. Well, maybe the others are okay, I don't know, and maybe they'll be okay for a project. But I love how this one loads, stops loading when the staples go down so you don't think you put a staple in instead, and moves on to the next board. Good. No super loud clip noise. Rings like Natural Selections are not bundled but stapled together as they are a perfect match in design. After making two rooms I will probably sell it. However, it turns out to be cheaper than renting, since it must be received and returned, at the risk of becoming shabby with use and rushing without even selling it.

Pros
  • Stapler
Cons
  • Skimp Instruction
