It is also for other engineered floor boards. IT IS NOT FOR STANDARD THICK FLOOR BOARDS. It is really hard to figure out what is the right tool with Bostitch. The Bostitch Stapler recommended by Bruce for National Selections 5/16 thick solid hardwood is nearly impossible to get and is more expensive. This stapler take the place of that other one and additionally works for engineered too. I can't find any negatives with this one compared to the one specific one purpose one they mentioned - this one does more. It even comes with 1000 of the 1" staples most use for Natural Selections. This is a precisely made tool, easy to use and setup and used hardly any air to work to boot. It is as right for Bruce Natural Selection as any Bruce recommends in the manual and seem to be the most affordable one. Now there are other brands you can find for $79-108 dollars that people have found suitable for their projects. To me I rather spend a little more to get a better tool that I at least think will give me less trouble. You do get what you pay for. Now it could be the others are just fine, I don't know, and for maybe one project they will be fine. But I like the way this one loads, will stop when staples are getting low so you don't think you shot a staple and you didn't and go on to the next board. It has a trigger lockout, and the air connection swivels. It is also kinda quite which is nice. No super loud staple sound. If you wonder why these staplers are not the kind you bang with a mallet is that flooring such as Natural selections are not banged tight together as they are stapled as they fit together perfectly by design. After I do two rooms I will likely sell it. Still comes out cheaper than renting of having to get and return it, risking getting a beat-up one to use and rushing, even with out selling it. Review: Worked well for a novice - I’m a home owner and an intermediate level do-it-yourselfer. I’m not a pro flooring installer. I purchased the EHF1838K flooring stapler in order to install an engineered hardwood floor (0.5” x 7.5” x 8’) in my home without the need of a pro installer. The stapler was recommended by the flooring manufacturer and the reviews were such that I felt confident it would work for my application. I installed an initial 600 sqft using the recommended staple spacing. There were no misfires, jams and or loosening/misalignment of the tongue engagement jig during the entire project. The tongue engagement jig adjusted quickly and was instrumental for aligning the staple with the flooring groove. It hit solid and square every time. The magazine was easy to load. The stapler responded quickly and accurately to the initial pressure adjustment that was required to dial into the correct staple penetration. After installing the first few rows of flooring, my skill level and confidence had improved to the point where I was able to significantly speed up the stapling rate without running the risk of making mistakes or stapling my big toe to the floor. In conclusion, it performed better than I had anticipated as a novice. The tool worked WITH me instead of against me. I could not identify any flaws in the design or performance. I am confident it will work with the remainder of the house. Whether clichΓ© or not, this tool did save me a significant sum of capital in that I was able to complete a flooring project in my home, on my own, the first time. Buy it. ## Features - Antimicrobial Protected staples 2-20 sheets - Integrated StapleStore compartment keeps extra staples close at hand - Built in remover for convenient staple removal - Ergonomic design for comfortable stapling - Opens for tacking ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003BVJU2O | | Best Sellers Rank | #118,099 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #12 in Power Finish Staplers | | Brand Name | Bostitch | | Capacity Description | Staples Capacity: 2-20 Sheets | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (968) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00077914052821 | | Included Components | case | | Item Dimensions L x W | 9.8"L x 4.9"W | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Manufacturer | BOSTITCH | | Material Type | Hardwood,Rubber | | Number of Fasteners | 1000 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Product Style | Adjustable | | UPC | 077914052821 784497257405 733353208303 718472667286 754262207508 787721707912 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Lifetime | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bostitch - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Hardwood,Rubber - **Number of Fasteners:** 1000 - **Product Dimensions:** 9.8"L x 4.9"W ## Images ![Stanley Bostitch Ascend Desktop Stapler, Black (EHF1838K) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ARH77HhbL.jpg) ![Stanley Bostitch Ascend Desktop Stapler, Black (EHF1838K) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510QowMUhoL.jpg) ![Stanley Bostitch Ascend Desktop Stapler, Black (EHF1838K) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LyKay5DOL.jpg) ![Stanley Bostitch Ascend Desktop Stapler, Black (EHF1838K) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lkcSYm8BL.jpg) ![Stanley Bostitch Ascend Desktop Stapler, Black (EHF1838K) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51B0o1vsXAL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why does one need this floor stapler? Seems to me I could use the SX1838K and shoot staples in the tounge at a 45 degree angle.** A: You can, but it would be a real PIA to line it up for a perfect shot with no guide. The correct angle would be closer to 20 degrees than 45. If you are patient, you could do. But after you split or mar your flooring a few times, and have to dig out a few staples, you would probably run out and buy one if these. **Q: Why does it require a battery** A: A battery is not required. **Q: something is blocking the staples from fully loading.** A: If you cant see whats the issue - Tape apart the head, probably a piece of staple stuck. If it's new send it back. **Q: can i use this gun for knotty pine tounge and groove for wall covering?** A: Not if it's wall board, you're better off gluing - unless you can hit studs. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Also for hardwood floors such as Bruce Natural Selections (see thickness allowed in description) *by D***1 on May 29, 2014* THIS IS ALSO FOR SOLID HARDWOOD SUCH AS Bruce Natural Selections.
