Anyone experience any issues with trigger that leaks? First nail gun I purchased leaked after 10 staples and then will stop but then come back??

I just bought this stapler and also had an air leak after the first few staples...On the second use it quit working altogether... I have several different Bostitch tools and this is the first time I ever had an issue.

Will this accept 1/4" staples? It will not?

Shoots 1/4" staples perfectly fine

Can i use this to staple a carpet runner up my steps?

The SX1838K is great for finish, trim, soffits, cabinetry, furniture, an any other stapling function you can dream up!

can this nail three quarter oak flooring ?

I would say yes. I've not nailed oak with my gun but have nailed 3/4"pine, 3/4" plywood, & other thick materials just fine with it.
