3PLUS HFS509040SP 4-in-1 Pneumatic 18 Gauge Flooring Stapler/Nailer

Installed a large room with 3/8 engineered hardwood flooring and this gun worked flawlessly. Well worth the price.

Put down a 3/8 inch shaw hardwood floor, about 300 square feet. I put 7 drops of oil in the gun about every three clips of 1.25 inch staples. Ran at 100psi. Gun worked flawlessly. No misfires, do doubles, no jams. Relatively easy to adjust to the flooring and held adjustment well. Definitely way lighter than my pc framing nail gun. For me it was easy to handle from both sides. Was able to get close to the wall in both directions. Had to blind nail the first three planks by hand when starting, and the last two when ending. I recommend this nailer.

Gun works fine, no misfires. The manual says it converts from braid nailer to staples but doesn’t say how. At first no staples fired. A quick check on YouTube showed that you must rotate a tang on the back of the gun 360 degrees to change from nailer to staples. It then worked fine. I took a star of due to the nebulous manual not anything wrong with the gun.

Great lil gun. Add a pressure reg to the end an your good to go

This review is for those who know what goes into laying parquet flooring and how to choose the right tools. I bought this nailer specifically to install 2,500 square feet of engineered parquet (1/2 in). I want to say that it was very easy to work with this gun, and absolutely no problems arose at any point.

I've seen some glowing reviews of this staple/nail gun, and have to think that the author's are a bit inexperienced. Yes, this is an adequate gun for a small job. It feeds and shoots reliably - not one misfire in 12500 staples thus far. It's a solid gun, and comes packed like the Harbor Freight "Central Pneumatic" guns, and I have a few of those, so that's not necessarily a negative. The gun itself is equivalent to the $23 "2-1" 18 gauge gun at H.F., bolt for bolt, so I'm sure it's made at the same Chinese factory, albeit with the flooring plastic attachment. So, again, it's solid. I just put in 12,500 3/4" staples in flooring underlayment. For the negatives: 1) Construction is just unnecessarily cheap. The plastic nose pops off with any amount of pressure, so just discard it after the second or third time. (You might get marks on your material without it, from the metal forks it covers, but it's going to come off the gun every 10 minutes anyway.) 2) The gun doesn't maintain consistent drive depth. Either the staples blow through the material, countersinking too deeply, or it leaves them high, requiring a nail set and hammer to set them down. The depth adjustment wheel under the trigger is of little help. The compressor I'm using is well regulated, and I run about 95 PSI through the gun. Without the plastic nose, there are two metal forks that act as both safety and depth measurement, and they will compress into the wood when firing the gun. If you have a light touch, the staples can be too high, if you press a little harder, you end up blowing them too deeply into the wood. It's a real nuisance that you wouldn't have to deal with a better quality gun. (Try tapping down 1/3 of 1200 staples, and you'll get an idea of how much of a nuisance it was. It wasn't quite that bad, but on some sheets, it cost me an additional 15 minutes tap the high staples down. If my wife used the gun, we had to spend 10 minutes readjusting the depth.) 3) Again, as with #1, construction is cheap. There are two plastic adjustment knobs for the floor attachment, and one was missing. (Fixed it with a bolt from a local hardware store, but still ... cheap.) Summary: It's a $23 Harbor Freight gun with a $10 plastic flooring attachment. My advice: I had the chance to pick up a reconditioned BOSTITCH or SENCO gun for about $40 or $50 more, and if I did this again, that's the direction I'd go. This gun just has too many defects for a flooring project. Buy a better used one, or put out the bucks for a new SENCO and sell it after your project.

Saved the day and the project. Was replacing oak flooring that was installed incorrectly. Used this instead of a hammer actuated nailer. Worked flawlessly. Made the whole project music easier.

I used the stapler to install 150sq ft of 3/8" bamboo flooring and it did a good job with no misfires or jams. The shoe is a little touchy to adjust for the thickness of the flooring but once in place, it did not move. It was easy to get the depth of the staple correctly. When you shoot the staples, you have to take the time to be sure that you located the stapler correctly on the tongue or the staple ends up in the field. This makes it a little slower than the mallet operated units with a dedicated shoe. Great unit for the price and I would recommend it.

Je n'ai jamais réussi à l'utiliser pour poser les planchers les agraphes ne rentraient pas dans le bois francs et restaient sorties . Je ne sais pas si c'est un problème de compatibilité avec mon compresseur

The attachment for installing hardwood flooring is a gimmick. I found it much easier and more efficient to just aim the nailer by myself. Other than that I was satisfied with the product.

cant use 1/2 crown staples since the ma is 1/4 crown staple which is little short for engineering hardwood
