Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This is the finish stapler of the millennium; a powerful driver in a feather-light body. Yet another wonderful magnesium body development from the talented engineers at Bostitch. This finish stapler features an oil-free design eliminating the pestering need for daily lubrication. Since it is oil-free, exhaust is now directed through the rear of the gun which is yet another first for Bostitch. It is very simple to use, and can be used for a long, long time. The magnesium housing on this new oil free finish stapler contributes to its extremely light weight and maximum job site durability. The tool also features an ultra quiet rear exhaust and open nose design for easy jam clearing. The adjustable depth control combines with the work protecting no-mar tip to make precise countersinking a breeze. Weighing just 2.5-pounds this tool packs a walloping 170-inch-pounds of driving power. It drives 7/32-inch crown staples from 1/2- to 1-1/2-inchand comes with an air fitting, 1000 1-inch staples, and a blow molded case. An Allen wrench is also included.

My old narrow crown went down the other day so I bought this at a home improvement warehouse. I usually check to see which is made in the USA first, then durability, then price. This was the only gun in it's price range made in the USA. I use it in case openings, drawerstock and drawer bottoms, built-in backs, or anything thin. (...) Depth of drive adjustment is good, rear exhaust is great,I have always hated the "blow in your face," weight is good, also no oil is a blessing ... no mar. It is so light it feels like plastic, but it is magnesium. I liked the automatic feature..as long as the safety is down, it will fire till you run out of stock. I wish it wouldn't fire without staples though..If I could I would deduct a half star for that. It had the power to consistantly sink 1" staples, but don't know about 1 1/2". It took more than a thousand staples without a hitch building columns...no pretzels. so far so good

This review is from: Bostitch SX150K-1 18 Gauge 1/2-Inch to 1-1/2-Inch Narrow Crown Stapler (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've just purchase my second SX150K from my local Home improvement store only to find it is leaking air from the trigger assembly, right out of the box. I had to return the first one because it was doing the same thing. Also out of the 30 or so staples I shot, 8 were double fires. I just got off the phone with Bostitch customer support and they wanted me to narrow it down to 1 of 3 seals it could have been. No thanks. As soon as I'm done writing this review I'm returning this one also...Update.
I just retured from a Bostitch SWAT event, they were unable to repair my leaking tool so they sent me home with a brand new one. That is great customer service.
I own 4 other Bostitch air tools with no problems at all.

This review is from: Bostitch SX150K-1 18 Gauge 1/2-Inch to 1-1/2-Inch Narrow Crown Stapler (Tools & Home Improvement)

This stapler was an istant hit in my High School cabinet shop. I teach cabinet making in a public high school,two years ago I purchased a small pnuematic set up (two finish nailers and a small two tank compressor). With a limited budget, I had to put off getting a stapler. I knew I needed one that was easy to change staples and sizes, included a case and could withstand the type of punishment and abuse only a high school student can dish out. It also had to take the standard narrow crown type staples. I recently purchased this one for my self and brought it in to school just to see how my students would take to it. It was instantly the tool of choice when attaching the 1/4" cabinet back or draw bottoms. If I happen to bring it home, the next day some student will ask for it. I was recently told to spend about $$$, a gift from the theater dept. for building some sets. I immediatly showed them the specs on this one, I'm expecting it soon then I'll finally get to take mine home.
