From the Manufacturer

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.

I bought this one because it's one of the few that have dry fire lockout. I find it quite annoying to have to constantly check the magazine to see what's left, and much more annoying to have to backtrack through blank holes. With this one you just shoot until it stops and then reload. Love it!
The belt hook was another must have for me. I recently put up 100+ cedar fence boards with stainless steel staples (1/4 inch crown of course) and that hook was a very convenient time saver.
This stapler does have tool free jam clearing although it works differently than most. Instead of unclipping the front half of the nose piece, you simply open the magazine and the rear half slides back with it giving you access to any jams. Haven't had to use it but a nice feature.
Oilless is a very nice convenience as well.
The only con for me is the case. It's sturdy enough but has very little room for extra staples. The tool itself is definitely 5 stars.
I bought the "Spot Nails Spot Nails 1804PG 1/2-inch Leg Staples Similar to Bostitch SX5035 series 7/32-inch Crown 5,000 per Box" and they work perfectly, much cheaper than the Bostitch Staples.

Will not accept staples;Using Bostch staples as recomended.
I am very experienced with Bostich products.
I am very disapointed.
Works absolutely fine with non-Bostitch 1/4" crown staples.
I like this tool. It’s well balanced, comfortable to use, drives consistently in a variety of materials, is easy to load, easy to place the staples where I want them. The whole nose opens when you load it — so clearing jams is completely tool-less. I haven’t had any jams. I haven't been using Bostitch staples.
Good warranty, and there are replacement parts & rebuild kits available. Unlike for cheap, disposable tools…
Quibbles are that it no longer comes with a swivel air fitting (just a straight one), and the standard Bostitch hard case it comes in (not a soft one as described) has no place to hold even a small package of staples. Doesn’t come with any staples either.
Still I’ve been happy with other Bostitch air tools and I’d buy it again.
