which flooring stapler for bamboo install?

17 years ago

I am installing 9/16" woven bamboo in one bedroom, and 5/8" vertical in another. EcoTimber recommends 18gauge 1/4" crown x 1-1/2" length staples.

I am unsure of what stapler will work for this. Surprise, got the runaround at Home Depot rental so am now considering buying and reselling tool. Any recommendations on where I might find such a stapler.

Any advice would be super appreciated!!

Dear Floorguy
Thank you for the great tip! It does sound like it would work. I guess I will buy it and then sell it on Craigslist as I will only need it for 3 bedrooms (approx. 700 sq. ft.)
Do you have a thought about what would be a reasonable markdown for "gently used" when I sell it?
Thanks again for your help!!!

Hi Floorguy - I must report that we bought the Highpro as-4090 on eBay and while it is great with the vertical bamboo, it isn't working for the woven bamboo, which is harder than heck. I'm thinking of getting the Powernails 50P which is a cleat nailer.. Would prefer not to glue, and buying the 50P would be cheaper than 3 tubs of glue.
Any thoughts?
