Bostitch MIIIFS

Where can I buy Bostitch MIIIFS 1-1/2-Inch to 2-Inch Pneumatic Floor Stapler A Do-it-yourself-er's Initial ThoughtsBy M. FeltzI purchased the MIIIFS stapler to lay approximately 1,700 sq. ft. of 3/4 inch red oak flooring in my new home. After installing well over 1,400 sq. ft. here are some of my observations:1) The tool makes it very easy for a novice to put down a nice, tight hardwood floor. If the boards are laying tight an easy swing of the mallet is all it takes to fully seat a staple (more on this later).

The mallet's plastic face, by the way, does not show any signs of cracking so far.2) The stapler efficiently uses the its air so you do not need a big compressor. I have been using a 1.5 hp unit with a 6 gallon tank. Output is set at 85 psi. I doubt such a small compressor could supply two nailers simultaneously, but it handles one quite nicely.3) The stapler did develop a small air leak near the top shortly after I began using it. ... » More Information about Bostitch MIIIFS 1-1/2-Inch to 2-Inch Pneumatic Floor Stapler.
