Best Stapler out there

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

The first thing I did when I got this stapler is load it with 1/4 inch crown Senco brand 1 1/2 inch long staples and shoot into hard, dry fir. Sank them all, no problem. I have yet to use the Bostitch 5/32 crown staples. Rest assured, this is a 1/4 inch crown finish stapler.
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.

Bostich Narrow Crown Stapler

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

Do not be put off by the cost of this unit. Yes, you can go to a discount tool store and spend a lot less money, but if you need an air-powered stapler, consider spending the extra money on the Bostitch SX1838K. I've owned a lot of different air tools over the years and I've found that the cheap ones are not as well-built, not as durable and use a lot more air. The first two won't surprise anyone, but the third one just might. To make an informed comparison, don't look at only the price. Look at how much air the tool requires at 90 psi and see if your compressor can keep up. The packaging should indicate the volume of air per minute (cubic feet per minute or CFM) that is required. Most times you will see a value for 40 psi and 90 psi. Lower pressures are typically for small tools or some spray guns. You will be wanting that 90 psi for this tool. With a less expensive tool you might find yourself waiting on your compressor. The Bostich is well built and a dream to use. Some of the things I like about it are that it comes with a swiveling connector for your air hose, the staple drive depth is adjustable, it is quiet (or about as quiet as an air tool can be), it is lightweight and it is well-balanced. If you plan to use a tool like this often or just want something that is dependable, consider this one.

Bostitch SX1838K 18 Gauge Narrow Crown Stapler

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2010

Verified Purchase

I like the stapler alot. Using it for wood flooring installation. While not configured for installing wood flooring, it was jury-rigged to do so and did an acceptable job. Having more floors to do, will make a jig to work better. I have used the stapler in another application and it worked great. It is relatively small and easy to handle. I did not give this stapler 5-stars because of Amazon's delivery. For an "in stock" item, it took nearly a week to get it even though it was eventually shipped from a neighboring state. Unacceptable in my opinion.

It's a Bostich. Worth the price over cheaper generic brand.

Been using these professionally (4 of them in the shop) for approximately 20 years and parts are no longer available. Reliable for the long time I had them. Was time to buy new and decided to stick with this brand. They are made a little cheaper so time will tell. Deducted 1 star from "value for the money" due to this

Easy and reliable

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2018

I recently purchased this stapler to complete a DIY staple up in-floor heat job. I have a shallow, dirt floor crawlspace and have to shoot ~15,000 staples. I'm about 1/3 of the way through the job and haven't had a single problem. No jams (as some others report) and very easy to reload in cramped quarters. this gun has been rolled around in the dirt due to the confine space and is still functioning well. I cannot believe what this job would have been without it.

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.

Yes this shoots 1/4” crown staples.

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

I don’t know why Bostitch markets this tool as using 7/32” crown staples — the metric spec for the tool is “6mm crown” — and 6mm is _between_ 7/32” & 1/4”. And Stanley/Black&Decker (Bostitch’s parent company) sells variations of this same tool under their PorterCable and DeWalt brands as “1/4” crown” staplers. Marketing.

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.
