What staples can this use 1 1/2" - 2", and will any brand staples work? Please let me know asap. Thank you.

Any brand will work as long as they meet the specifications for the gun .. I used cleats for the floor .. FYI this gun is not to be used on engineered or laminate floors it will split the tongue off the flooring you need a totally different gun for that ..

I have used the gun with both 1-1/2" & 2: Staples. For 3/4" thick pre-finished oak flooring I installed, I preferred the "B&C; Eagle ABCS-1516 2-Inch Length x 1/2-Inch Crown x 15 Gauge Galvanized Flooring Staples (1,080 per box)" also available from Amazon. They worked great in this gun and gave a good hold.

I have only used 1/4 B8 Power Crown staples, and in my understanding that is the only compatible size

Yes you can use 1/4 and 3/8 inch staples made by Bostich. Avoid the Staples brand of staples because the wire is narrower and prone to jams.

I am not familiar with the staples that you are using, but I use B & C Eagle fine wire staples 3/8 inch and they work beautifully. I wonder if your staples are too thick? Sorry not to be more help.

I bought the 1 1/4" Senco Staples. Here's the link on Amazon: Senco L15BAB 18 Gauge by 1/4-inch Crown by 1-1/4-inch Length Electro Galvanized Staples (5,000 per box) . They worked great on 1/2" engineered wood floor on 3/4" osb sub floor. Not a single jam in the 3000+ used.

I used Bostich SX50351 staples which is an 1-3/8' by 18 gauge by 7/32 crown finish staple. Worked very well.

This stapler only accepts staples of one width, but it will accept several different lengths. You might look online for the manual and find the detail you are seeking.

I went to home depot, and got the staples by Hitachi. you can also read other customer reviews on the tool site.

"Standard Staples." You buy them anywhere under any brand name as "Standard Staples." Sometimes they add 1/4", but usually just "Standard."

I have one and used it to staple in hardwood oak flooring. My flooring was 1/2" by 1.5". I used the Senco 1/4" by 1" staples (18 gauge) and never had a single problem. For the money, and ease of use, this nailer/stapler did the job perfectly! I did some research beforehand, as to which was better and held better- nails or staples. Staples hold better than nails

I believe it will. It takes up to 2" tall staples. So anything shorter should be fine.

I assume you are asking about the length of the staples, I have used 0.25, 0.375 and 0.5 inch staples in my stapler. The stapler only allows for one width of the staple.

Had that same issue with one of the2 I bought! The other worked fine, so it was a defect. (Not to insult your intelligence, but just in case, "be sure you're using the right staples.") Otherwise return, there's no cure I found!

I use a stapler, you can also brads ACCO Solid Brass Paper Fasteners, 0.5 Inch Length, 100 Fasteners per Box (A7071502A) I find the stapler works best for me.
