What's in the Box
Bostitch LHF97125-2 Flooring Stapler

Great tool right out of the box. But do yourself a favor and get the Bostitch staples.

Glad I bought it. Even my 9 year old son has had no problems operating this tool. I've put in about 800 square feet without any problems. I bought this after giving up being on a waiting list two weeks to rent one from a local hardware store. Not only is it a great tool and easy to use, but since I don't have to worry about returning a rental, I can take my time on the installation. If you are going install new 3/8" hardwood, save yourself a samll fortune by buying one of these and doing it yourself. I had never done this before, but it's been very easy installing the 3/8 engineered flooring I purchased for our remodel.

This gun feels like it is a product designed to be a quality product meant to be used everyday. Product arrived on time and in great condition. I am installing Brazilian Teak which is extremely hard. At the same time, the mag body allows it to be lightweight. The gun has had a couple of mis-fires which were likely user error combined with the fact that this is extremely hard wood.

Either it isn't drained regularly, isn't set to the proper pressure, or isn't sufficient to use this tool. Those of us who use these tools for a living know that they need maintainence from time to time. Don't knock the product because of it. The main cause of malfunction for this kind of tool is the user's air compressor. Those are the primary reasons for the described malfunctions. The weekend warrior who bought and returned 3 of these to use with his cheapo compressor should weigh his time/money against the cost of hiring a profesional. This is a first rate nailer for those who use quality equipment and maintain it properly.Buying this product without knowing the availability of the staples is an amateur mistake.

It will staple engineered flooring down but be prepared for more than a few bent and twisted staples. Hope it works better for you than it did for me. Unless you apply heavy pressure against the flooring the bent staples will damage the edge and you will need to remove it. Perhaps I have a lemon and you will have better luck than I did.
