Porter-Cable MS200 1-Inch to 2-Inch 16 Gauge 7/16-Inch Medium Crown Stapler

From the Manufacturer

Built to last, this medium crown stapler has a piston ring design that prevents cylinder bore scuffing and lasts longer than conventional "O" rings. It will drive 16-gauge, 7/16-inch crown "N" wire staples from one to two inches long. The open top-load magazine makes for easy reloads and will hold up to 150 staples for less down time. An adjustable depth-of-drive mechanism allows countersinking fasteners to match the application. The bump-fire trigger allows for faster operation. Also, though it comes with a 1/4-inch quick coupler, the air inlet is 3/8-inch NPT. This allows the option of using a 3/8-inch quick coupler for better airflow in high-production applications. A quick-release nosepiece is also standard for faster clearing of jammed fasteners. Includes stapler, carrying case, 1/4-inch male quick coupler plug with dust cap, oil, allen wrenches, and operator's manual.

This review is from: Porter-Cable MS200 1-Inch to 2-Inch 16-Gauge 7/16-Inch Medium Crown Stapler (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this stapler because my long-suffering wife refused to act like a clamp anymore, so I had to hold up sheets of sheathing or paneling with an elbow and a knee while trying to drive nails. It got old really fast! This PC stapler is a marriage saver! The owner's manual is well written, and I was using the stapler five minutes out of the box. I easily quadrupled my output, and was able to sheath and side my shop (16x16') solo in a single day. Haven't had a jam yet, though they look fairly simple to clear. Definitely worth the money!

This review is from: Porter-Cable MS200 1-Inch to 2-Inch 16-Gauge 7/16-Inch Medium Crown Stapler (Tools & Home Improvement)

In the first few months of MS200 stapler ownership, it was used to drive 17,000 2" staples. Not a single jam. (So, I can't comment on jam fixes, but it is easy to remove the nosepiece, without tools.) This nailer has a slight "recoil". If it isn't pushed into the work AND the wood is fairly hard, the staple won't go in all the way. This is because part of the drive force is spent pushing the tool away from the staple. The same thing would probably happen with any large stapler. For the most part, the staple head is about flush with the surface, and of course, power is adjustable via the regulator.

Overall, the productivity gained by using this powerhouse is incredible. My speed was about 1 staple per second, but I took my time. Although one hand control is workable, I used both hands most of the time, in order to ensure the staple was fully driven home.

I also bought the 7/16" x 2" staples from Amazon, and they stay in. In fact, be sure you're driving staples where you won't change your mind. In the cases where a staple had to be removed, I couldn't pull them out. Wound up cutting the tops off. Almost like driving a double nail with each trigger pull. That's holding power.

The carrying case is one of those molded types, with two plastic clasps. Seems fine. Fits the tool perfectly, and provides great protection - with a small bit of staple & oil storage.
