3PLUS HFS509040SP 4-in-1 Pneumatic 18 Gauge Flooring Stapler/Nailer

Put down a 3/8 inch shaw hardwood floor, about 300 square feet. I put 7 drops of oil in the gun about every three clips of 1.25 inch staples. Ran at 100psi. Gun worked flawlessly. No misfires, do doubles, no jams. Relatively easy to adjust to the flooring and held adjustment well. Definitely way lighter than my pc framing nail gun. For me it was easy to handle from both sides. Was able to get close to the wall in both directions. Had to blind nail the first three planks by hand when starting, and the last two when ending. I recommend this nailer.

I was a little hesitant to purchase this, due to the price. But it is well worth it. I just finished 300 sq ft of Oak engineered hardwood flooring. It is important that you follow the directions on setting up the shoes. If you don't do that you will have staples flying all over the place. I don't know the longevity of this stapler, but for a "DIY" project it is perfect.

This gun works great, however it is advertised as a floor nailer 18Gauge, but it doesn’t use 18 Gauge cleats that are made for floors. It only uses 18Gauge Brad nails that aren’t really used for floors. I did use it for engineered wood flooring along with glue assist method. Seems like it will be ok.

I bought this item after completing my hardwood flooring in a small bedroom before tackling the rest of the rooms. I bought the big ‘hit with a hammer’ nailer. That thing only works three rows from the edges with 5” hardwood. So the edges were a nightmare with screws that kept stripping out or using a brad nailer which made holes to fill with some cracking too. I bought this wonderful tool in hopes of minimizing difficult edge work. It was setup already for my hardwood height of 3/4”. I added 3 drops of oil as directed then practiced on a sample board to get the regulator pressure dialed in at 95 pounds which is in the specs for use. I just finished the hall and the glorious tool work flawlessly every staple without any going too deep or too shallow. Also no cracking or broken tongues (which my big hammer nailer cracks a breaks them or goes into shallow if you don’t hit it perfectly with the hammer.). Anyway I think I am going to just use this great tool for the middle of the rooms too because it is so easy to use. I highly recommend this tool.

I highly recommend this staple gun, I finished 1500 sq ft of 1/2 in Engineered Wood flooring flawlessly. Follow the instructions in calibrating how deep you want the staple. I set my psi at 75 in my compressor.

I installed 2400 square feet of flooring without a failure.

I've seen some glowing reviews of this staple/nail gun, and have to think that the author's are a bit inexperienced. Yes, this is an adequate gun for a small job. It feeds and shoots reliably - not one misfire in 12500 staples thus far. It's a solid gun, and comes packed like the Harbor Freight "Central Pneumatic" guns, and I have a few of those, so that's not necessarily a negative. The gun itself is equivalent to the $23 "2-1" 18 gauge gun at H.F., bolt for bolt, so I'm sure it's made at the same Chinese factory, albeit with the flooring plastic attachment. So, again, it's solid. I just put in 12,500 3/4" staples in flooring underlayment. For the negatives: 1) Construction is just unnecessarily cheap. The plastic nose pops off with any amount of pressure, so just discard it after the second or third time. (You might get marks on your material without it, from the metal forks it covers, but it's going to come off the gun every 10 minutes anyway.) 2) The gun doesn't maintain consistent drive depth. Either the staples blow through the material, countersinking too deeply, or it leaves them high, requiring a nail set and hammer to set them down. The depth adjustment wheel under the trigger is of little help. The compressor I'm using is well regulated, and I run about 95 PSI through the gun. Without the plastic nose, there are two metal forks that act as both safety and depth measurement, and they will compress into the wood when firing the gun. If you have a light touch, the staples can be too high, if you press a little harder, you end up blowing them too deeply into the wood. It's a real nuisance that you wouldn't have to deal with a better quality gun. (Try tapping down 1/3 of 1200 staples, and you'll get an idea of how much of a nuisance it was. It wasn't quite that bad, but on some sheets, it cost me an additional 15 minutes tap the high staples down. If my wife used the gun, we had to spend 10 minutes readjusting the depth.) 3) Again, as with #1, construction is cheap. There are two plastic adjustment knobs for the floor attachment, and one was missing. (Fixed it with a bolt from a local hardware store, but still ... cheap.) Summary: It's a $23 Harbor Freight gun with a $10 plastic flooring attachment. My advice: I had the chance to pick up a reconditioned BOSTITCH or SENCO gun for about $40 or $50 more, and if I did this again, that's the direction I'd go. This gun just has too many defects for a flooring project. Buy a better used one, or put out the bucks for a new SENCO and sell it after your project.

For the price it runs and won’t cry if You lose or break it

Je n'ai jamais réussi à l'utiliser pour poser les planchers les agraphes ne rentraient pas dans le bois francs et restaient sorties . Je ne sais pas si c'est un problème de compatibilité avec mon compresseur

Remarkably good, I've fired over 500 50mm nails into 100m2 tounge and groove flooring.

The attachment for installing hardwood flooring is a gimmick. I found it much easier and more efficient to just aim the nailer by myself. Other than that I was satisfied with the product.

cant use 1/2 crown staples since the ma is 1/4 crown staple which is little short for engineering hardwood
