Solid Ergonomic Stapler.
By M. Hernandez
I bought this tool to go w/ the Porta Nail Hammerhead hardwood nailer. It's worked extremely well every time I've used it and has yet to jam or meet the plank it couldn't penetrate. Bamboo flooring is tough material but this tool made short work of it more than once. The gripping surface has a rubber cover that provides excellent grip. The secondary trigger makes it way more comfortable to work with than most other flooring staplers on the market. The kit includes a tough plastic case with room for gloves, goggles etc. It's a pricy tool but quality isn't cheap and appears to be a tool that will last a lifetime. Hope this helps.

I bought this flooring stapler for a vertical application of tongue and groove solid wood flooring. I will also be installing wood ceilings with this tool. So far I've shot exactly one stick of staples so if my opinion changes I'll update this. First, this is a nifty little tool. Lightweight with several extras. It has onboard storage for an allen wrench, a window in the slide to check low staples, tool-free foot adjustment and, of course, two triggers. For once, the directions were simple and didn't appear to be translated from some other language. I have to say the foot adjustment was very fussy to begin with, and I didn't realize how much it adjusted at first because it was so stiff. After just wiggling it around for a few minutes it all worked very smoothly. This tool does like to be set 'in the slot' before it will shoot the staple in but when it's good, it's alllll good. My experience probably would have been better sooner if I was shooting on a floor but walls and ceilings present a different challenge. I bought a flooring hammer and the recommended set tool at the same time and I highly recommend both of them. In fact, the tool would have gone down in stars if I hadn't bought the accessories. On the down side, I also bought a box of staples because the tool came with exactly ZERO staples. C'mon Porta-Nails, a small box of staples with the tool would have killed you? Really? It did come with a small bottle of oil which was nice (and I won't think the ungrateful thought that they did that so people wouldn't return a tool destroyed by dry firing). In terms of use, this tool fit my medium-sized hand (woman), it was easy to handle, and both the triggers were handy to use. I mostly used the front trigger on this application but I can see where the back trigger is very handy to have at times. Bottom line, I am happy with this tool and if it were lost or stolen I would buy another one.August 14, 2011 - Have used this stapler for several sticks of staples now. Update on my review. The staples tend to squirrel up when encountering anything hard. Since they're being driven into wood, you can appreciate that this is a problem that occurs often. I still like the stapler for the vertical and overhead applications I'm using it for, but, I would not use this for traditional flooring on a floor. I have had to stop and adjust the foot because the surface changed or the thickness of the flooring changed slightly. As I said before, this is a very fussy tool. At times it runs smoothly, driving in staple after staple. At other times I pull out as many as I put in. Because the gun runs smoothly I tend to think it's the staples (Porta-Nails 20 gague). I'm currently looking for some other brand of staples. Although I still like this tool, this is my first and last Porta-Nails product. Sorry Porta-Nails, you just didn't make the grade.

After 440 sq ft of engineered flooring..........
By J. Eaton
Solid performer. No jams. The staples will buckle if you hit a knot in the flooring, but that's life and flooring type dependent. In my opinion, I'm very happy with the tool and have since purchased a model 640 15-gauge finish nailer based on this initial experience.
