What makes this one good:

• Oil-free operation — no oil spots staining your new floor, which is the whole reason to buy this over a generic stapler

• Non-marring cap so it won't scratch or dent prefinished planks

• Easy-sight tongue guide — makes it much easier to drive staples into the pocket at the right angle

• Lightweight magnesium body, comfortable for a full day of work

Specs:

• 18-gauge, ¼″ narrow crown staples, 1″ to 1½″ (SX5035 series)

• 100-staple magazine

• 160 in-lb driving power at 70–120 PSI

• Adjustable for 5/16″–7/16″ solid hardwood or 1/2″–5/8″ engineered hardwood and bamboo

Included:

• Original hard carrying case with fitted insert

• Partial box of 18-gauge staples to get you started

⚠️ Air compressor NOT included — this is pneumatic and needs your own compressor.

Note on fit: this is an 18-gauge stapler built for engineered and thinner solid flooring. If you're installing 3/4″ solid hardwood, you want a 15/16-gauge cleat nailer instead — happy to answer questions before you drive out.

Also have a Skil 3601 flooring saw listed separately — discount if you take both.
