Even when the staple hit screwheads inside the wood it just mashed the staple on out and did not jam. Very solid well build tool. Could not be happier with this stapler. And cheapest stapler that will handle 2 inch staples. 4000 staples, but never had 1 jam. The ease ( and toolless also) change from single trigger pull to bump staple'n is great. and air ex.
It's easy on air, have only used appox. The toolless depth adj. With everything figured in I dont see how you can get a better 1 to 2 inch stapler or one that is cheaper. direction is great and never had to try the toolless unjamming deal.
When working with vinyl, it has a bit of a learning curve and it take a little bit of work to get your depth and aim correct. I would strongly recommend you adding a medium crown stapler to your collection. It was great for installing shelving, sheathing, and working with plywood. I originally bought it to install vinyl siding on a 1000 SF workshop. I already own a framing gun, finish gun, roofing gun, and a narrow crown stapler, so why did I need another gun.
It will drive a 2" staple with ease. Well. Once you get it dialed in - the stapler with the vinyl nose is a time saver for sure. You will find yourself reaching for it more often than you would believe. Since then, I have found that it really fills a gap where you need something more substantial than a finish nail, but a framing nail is too much.
Unit comes with storage case. If you want a decent gun for an affordable price the Porter Cable is a good one. Easy to load and shoots common staple sizes. We use 2 of these guns on a regular basis and have had no problems other then the occisioanl vapor lock which is easily fixed by removing air line momentarily.
I have now run 10,000 (B&C 7/16" x 2") staples through this tool without a SINGLE jam. I haven't used a hammer in two years :-) It's my favorite tool.
Not a single jam. This is because part of the drive force is spent pushing the tool away from the staple. That's holding power.The carrying case is one of those molded types, with two plastic clasps. This nailer has a slight "recoil". Seems fine.
Wound up cutting the tops off. My speed was about 1 staple per second, but I took my time. In the cases where a staple had to be removed, I couldn't pull them out. In the first few months of MS200 stapler ownership, it was used to drive 17,000 2" staples. If it isn't pushed into the work AND the wood is fairly hard, the staple won't go in all the way. The same thing would probably happen with any large stapler. Almost like driving a double nail with each trigger pull. In fact, be sure you're driving staples where you won't change your mind.
(So, I can't comment on jam fixes, but it is easy to remove the nosepiece, without tools). For the most part, the staple head is about flush with the surface, and of course, power is adjustable via the regulator.Overall, the productivity gained by using this powerhouse is incredible. Fits the tool perfectly, and provides great protection - with a small bit of staple & oil storage. Although one hand control is workable, I used both hands most of the time, in order to ensure the staple was fully driven home.I also bought the 7/16" x 2" staples from Amazon, and they stay in.
