This gun is suppose to take brads too. I saw them at the home improvement store when I was getting staples, but I did not try any. If the wood is thin enough the brads ought to work.

This gun shoots only 18 gage brad nails. They are available at most home improvement and hardware stores, Sears and Amazon. It does not shoot staples. It's a good gun for brad nailer and I would recommend a separate gun for narrow gave crown staples.

Hello Friend, This floor nail gun, is good for engineering flooring materials which is similar as plywood. I can call it as softwood. This gun uses 18GA staples so it is not hard/strong enough to pass thru solid hardwood materials and in a special case such as hardwood plank is bend, 18GA staples nail is not strong enough to hold the board. I recommend you use BOSTITCH MIIIFS.

No. This gun uses a 7/32" crown staple. Typically available at home depot or lowes.

It should. The stapler works with a wide variety of staple lengths. You want a shorter staple that will drive all the way down so as to firmly press against the fabric. The harder the wood, the shorter the length needed. I got one of those "variety packs", so I could experiment. I did OK with 1/4" tongs. You may need longer depending on how heavy the fabric is.

It will only take compatible nails, which you will find on the manufacturers web page. I tried to open it from my phone but the mobile version i guess doesnt show this much information. Im sure if you look at it on a computer you will find a pdf file with the specs and the compatible nails and staples

Staples work best. The smaller shafts are less likely to split. You may have to adjust depth pressure

More than likely. 1/2" crown width is pretty standard for Duo Fast handheld staplers, and they haven't changed their designs for those much since the 60's.

As far as I can tell, any 18 gauge will work. I have used up to 9/16 in staples and they work fine. Have also used 3/8 in. Will also accept brads of the same gauge.

I'll start by saying I love this nail gun ... but it's probably overkill for both shoe and crown molding. I have a smaller brad nailer that I use for molding. You might be able to dial the air pressure back and use the smallest nail possible ... it's heavy crown molding it might be enough to keep the nail from cracking the wood.

If the wood is not hard and you find long enough staples it may work. It is a powerful stapler but it looks like you are taking it to the limit

The gun works on flooring up to half-inch. It will except any quarter inch crown staples.

This gun is better suited for furniture building or similar construction jobs than for upholstering fabrics to frames. I'd suggest the #7 Fasco stapler found on Amazon as "Fasco F1B 7C-16 Fine Wire Stapler". Rainco is another good stapler for upholstering (Amazon "Rainco R1B 7c-16 upholstery stapler". I've used both these models. I'm a retired upholsterer and furniture maker with 39 years in the business and 24 of those in my own shop. Rule #1: Keep the staple puller in the back pocket so you don't have to drag that heavy sofa across the shop when you attach yourself to it!

Typically, finish nails are smooth-shanked and lack the grip neccessary for flooring applications. I don't believe that the boxes of staples specify that they are for flooring only.

I believe that you would need an actual flooring nailer for that application. The Bostitch Stapler is designed for Engineered Flooring which is basically a veneer plywood floor not more than 1/2" thick. Not for solid wood flooring and not for anything 3/4" thick. Hope this helps!

It could depending on how thick the upholstery material is. However, a longer staple, 3/8" or 1/2" would hold better especially 0n corners where you'd likely have multiple layers of material to staple through. Highly recommend a using pneumatic staple for better results.
