It can readily be used with solid and engineered hardwood and bamboo flooring. This light weight flooring nail gun is ready to take on any project that you present it with.

This Hardwood Floor Stapler from Bostitch is pneumatic, that's to say that is powered by compressed air. The EHF1838K works at between 70 - 120 PSI and delivers 160 inch/pounds of force, sufficient to pierce even the thickest and hardest types of wood. It's magazine will carry 100 of 18-gauge staples of 1 and 1-1/1 inch, ideal for addressing most hardwood flooring jobs you'll likely get involved with.

The EHF1838K hardwood floor nailer can be varied depending on the thickness of the hardwood floor. The knob adjusts the stapler between 5/16" and 7/16 " for hardwood flooring, and between ½" and 5/8" for either bamboo flooring or engineered hardwood.

Using the Bostitch makes installing your hardwood flooring really simple. The oil less design makes for no maintenance, and gets rid of possibly of oil leaking onto the workspace - damaging or staining the hardwood flooring.

The ergonomically designed EHF1838K stapler weighs 3.5 pounds.  And the comfortable grip readily molds to the shape of your hand meaning that you can work all day use with little or no fatigue. The air hose fitting rotates so that you can position the hose out of your way. The rear facing exhaust is surprisingly quiet, and serves it's purpose of stopping wood dust from flying into your face.

Jeff from CO, USA has this to say about his Bostitch:

“I recently purchased this stapler to put down 500 square feet of engineered wood. The stapler is easy to setup for the thickness of the flooring and performed flawlessly. 2500 staples later my arm is still attached to the rest of my body due to the lightweight and ergonomic handle. Well done Bostich!”

It's difficult to find any serious down side to the Bostitch EHF1838K. It’s a well thought out piece of equipment; and it performs as expected if not better. In testing we did find that the settings had to be accurately set, in order for the stapler to function correctly. It comes with 7 years warranty, which gives you comfort that you'll have years of hassle free use.
