This is a well designed product

This is a well designed product and is simply the easiest to use on engineered floors and will also work on laminated wood floors. I've already done 4 floors with no problems with gluing or missing directional brackets. I would recommend it and the price is right. Save yourself the headache and use staples, use them in the BOSTITCH LHF2025K Engineered Hardwood Flooring Stapler.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • not reliable

These staples are the worst. I would give them no stars if it were possible. They're made in China and I could get maybe one in six shots in the ground without getting stuck in my stapler, which would make working with hard floors infinitely more time-consuming and tedious than it is now. If you don't have three times more time to do this job than it takes anyway, I strongly recommend that you DO NOT buy these braces! ATTENTION TO THE BUYER.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • No power

I'm glad Revain got my money back even though I wasted my time.

Too bad I can't give negative stars. I'm glad Revain refunded my money even though I wasted my time looking through half a box. At least 20% of the staples missed resulting in lost valuable time. I initially blamed the Bostitch pistol, but instead of going back I decided to buy regular B&C Eagle 97/25 1" staples. These braces work much better than Bostitch's own braces. The worst product I have ever used. And that says a lot. I wasted so much precious time because of this product. I will…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Some disadvantages

Don't buy this!

I read in some other reviews that don't buy Chinese made staples. I thought I bought quality clips made elsewhere because they were the expensive Bostitch brand. Not right! Those suspenders were from China and were crap. I experienced a large number of misfires which slowed things down considerably. Remember that any broken staples must be removed as they will interfere with the installation of the next flooring. I had to carefully pry off the bad stapler with a small screwdriver and then grab…

DO NOT BUY staples

I bought these staples hoping they would work with the Bostich floor track. I assumed the recommended Bostich staples would work well with staplers of the same brand; BAD ACCEPTANCE. I should have heeded the warnings in other reviews. There were too many misfires to count, and the degradation was immeasurable after just a day on hardwood floors. I thought the bottom runner stapler might be the problem as I bought a remanufactured pad (from Revain) but decided to try a different brand of staples

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • I will add later

Poor sealing packaging

These are the most expensive braces and I only paid a higher price because others who bought cheaper braces commented that their cheap braces broke due to poor quality. Package. Well, those expensive braces arrived in the same condition. I don't think there was a single stick longer than 10 staples when they arrived. If you pack a five-pound box with steel pieces glued together and heavy-duty staples in a large box (I could put at least a dozen boxes of staples in it) with an air cushion to…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance
