Product Description

This 18 GA Finish Stapler Kit requires little maintenance. Choose between sequential and contact operation with selectable trigger system. Depend on this Finish Stapler Kit for efficiency and convenience.

From the Manufacturer

The Bostitch SX1838K 18GA Narrow Crown Finish Stapler is designed for the professional driving 7/32 In. narrow crown staples from 1/2 In. to 1-1/2 In. in length. Along with our other small-body finish tools, this tool is made with lightweight magnesium and has a tough new industrial design. The oil-free engine requires no maintenance and prevents stains on work surfaces, while the swivel air fitting with filtered air inlet increases maneuverability and improves engine durability. The selectable trigger system allows for easy conversion between sequential or contact modes. Additionally, the SX1838K features a dial-a-depth control for quick countersinking adjustments and a low fastener lockout that prevents dry fire and alerts the user when it's time to reload. The ultra-quiet rear exhaust directs air away from the user and the reversable belt hook with integrated pencil sharpener allows for ultimate convenience on the job site. The SX1838K is great for finsh, trim, soffits, cabinetry, furniture, an any other stapling function you can dream up! Kit includes: Stapler and durable carry case.

3 Stars
It fails to reset most of the time.
Meaning the arbor will not retract to set the next staple. I can't say I would recommend this product. When it does work it is great. However that is only rarely.UPDATE: I took this thing apart, cleaned oiled and am running it at 100psi instead of 80psi. Having more success. That is 20#s higher than I run my other guns but it seams to like it.
