Post a CommentI'm having the same problem with 5/16 solid Bruce wood. The Bruce people say it will work and it is advertised by many sellers as adjustable to 5/16 solid wood. Maybe we don't know some trick that one does when setting up the stapler. The stapler nose does not line up with the tongue of the wood planks if I adjust the height to the exact floor level so I have to stop and align it after each stapler attempt Not worth the effort. Chris, Did you figure it out?
I have a question.
Can anyone who owns this tool slide it along the tongue & shoot a staple every time they pull the trigger?
I bought one and it won't do that. It must be pulled away from the material and reset before it will shoot again. That can't be right!
