WEN 61741K 4-in-1 18-Gauge Pneumatic Flooring Nailer and Stapler

The Wen stapler is an incredible value. I was surprised that a flooring stapler 1/3 the price of Bostitch would perform as well as this one does. I had looked at that brand first because I rented one years ago and had a big stock of leftover staples in their unique size. It's not exactly 1/4" crown, and maybe it would work interchangeably, but I didn't try. I installed about 300 square feet of flooring in my living room using about 3,000 staples without a single jam. I only had one double-fire which was my error for letting the tool bounce. The depth adjustment took me 3 tries to dial in, as the instructions were not entirely clear on how to set it. I found that I needed to let both of the moving pieces float while I set the stapler firmly in the groove of the flooring, then rotated the stapler away from me until the bottom plate laid flat on the floor, but not so far that the back of the top plate rose up from the flooring. Once the screws were set and tightened as hard as I could do it by hand, they never loosened on their own. I wish someone would figure a way to articulate the tool body to get the last couple rows of flooring stapled- this is an issue with any brand of stapler- you can't staple the last 3 rows closest to the wall. I used a brad nailer for the 3rd row, rotated parallel to the flooring and was able to reach the 45 degree angle required. The next row I nailed straight down through the tongue, and the final row I trimmed off the bottom groove, glued to the tongue and face-nailed very close to the wall where the trim would cover it.

Hey folks: I had installed 2-1/4" white oak flooring in my house 20 years ago. There were some unfortunate incidents where the floor sustained dents, gouges etc. I used a circular saw to remove the damaged planks and the WEN Flooring Stapler to install new planks. It worked perfectly and all damaged planks have been replaced. Cautionary Note: Be certain that the staples you purchase will fit this gun. I bought some flooring nails that were supposedly compatible with this gun but they were not. Do a search on Amazon for "18 Gauge 1/4-Inch Narrow Crown Staples, 1-1/2" Length 304 Stainless Steel Staples" and these fit and fired perfectly.

Can’t beat the price if it’s a small project

It works. Easy to use. The 18 gauge nails are a little on the small size.

So after looking at renting & buying locally, I decided to purchase this flooring nailer (Brad nailer). So glad I did, while I have a P Cable nailer, it got jammed while starting the first row of flooring, plus it doesn’t have the flooring feature. So I was able to use this multi use flooring gun. Floor is completed in time for Thanksgiving…now the wife wants to do the rest of the house! Adjusting the gun to floor height is simple. I hope my video explains some questions I was looking for prior to purchasing.

Product Look good, but boken within 1 months of use. Thank 3 ratting? they are sending new replacement. Also, I could see plastic nose is not durable, not holding in place once using for the trim works.

Needed it for manufactured hardwood and it was perfect! Would recommend for anyone!

I love this thing! I got it specifically to install 3/8ths engineered hardwood. I installed 1400sf without issue. Well built, easy to use and priced right!

Worked great for installing about 400sqft of engineered hardwood used 1/4 inch wide staples and it didn't jam once.

Funcionamiento ideal para trabajos en casa

I used this tool to fasten 3/8" thk. engineered wood flooring with ease, I should have bought this tool sooner, I'm very satisfied with the result and it's 4 in 1 tool not just for fastening floor.

Very good flooring stapler. Never misfired once on 550 sq. ft of engineered hardwood.

The nailer worked extremely well for installing tongue and groove soffit!! Great purchase…
