The stapler looked like brand new when we received it. It was a great tool and made installing the floors a breeze.
The floors look beautiful. It's still a lot of work, as you have to pound the stapler with the hammer each time to fire it, but it's much easier than doing it manually.
After looking at local hardware stores for a new hardwood floor stapler, we found this one on Amazon for hundreds of dollars less than the new ones; even cheaper quality new ones were way more expensive than this reconditioned Bostitch was. It never jammed, it never misfired.
We still have another 1,000' of floor to install on the second floor, but we're confident the stapler will continue to perform as it did for the first part. We received the stapler within 2 days of ordering and have used it to install the hardwood floors in our home.
We have installed 1,000' of maple flooring thus far, and the stapler performed perfectly.
Buy it. Paid for itself verses paying daily rental fees every week end. you will love it. A great unit for the money. Looks brand new and works great.
As a DIYer, I've put in almost a thousand sq ft of brazilian cherry, using a manual nailer.uggh. I suspect the staples may be cement (or similarly) coated to help adhesion. I'm an avid buyer of anything from CPO sites, when product available.
If anything, the staples hold much better. I'm sold on staples and this has consistently been the tool of choice by pros among the forums. I had a couple pieces of the pine during this last project that required pulling up a piece I had stapled.it destroyed the edge (tore out) but left the staples in place.
I have to start by saying.if a product is available reconditioned, I'm all for it. Ok, pine is MUCH softer than cherry, but, having to swing into a piece of pine also has a much higher chance of damaging the edges, so I wanted something that would drive the fastener (staples in this case) without alot of hammer swing.I thought to myself.well, probably won't hold as well using staples as the barbed nails on my manual nailer.wrong. You won't be disappointed with this item.and when you are done with it.they hold value well and sell quite easily on various selling lists and online auctions.
The Bostitch MIIIFS flooring stapler was unbelievable and I kick myself for not buying one for an earlier flooring project. I wasn't going to do that again when doing some pine in the upstairs.
As for the quality, it does exactly what it's suppose to do. Product came in excellent condition. You couldn't tell it was a refurb.
would recommend. wonderful, my husband was able to get the job done easier with this floor stapler. great price.
