What brand and part number staples are you all using? I want to buy this stapler but I cannot find information on what stapes work with it.

Most any brand 18 ga narrow crown 1 1/2 inch or less in length. As others have said, Home Depot has several brands that fire well.

I have used Grip Rite staples in a couple different sizes with no issues. Those are fairly cheap generic staples so pretty much any brand should work. GRL17 and GRL13 are the item #'s for the ones I have used.

Search Amazon.com for Bostitch SX50351-3/8G. As stated by others, they are easily found any place contractors purchase their supplies.

1/2" to 1 1/2" inch 18 ga narrow crown staples. Brand really doesn't matter.

I use B&C; Eagle 9032 1-1/4-Inch Length x 1/4-Inch Narrow Crown x 18 Gauge Galvanized Finish Staples (5,000 per box).Overall they worked great. I built a fence using them and had no issues.

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.

Gail, I am surprised at the problem you are having because mine has been working fine and I changed the staples several times. If the correct staples are in place, the unit should strike and you will be able to verify if it is stuck by opening the loading hatch again. Check to see that you do not have a staple stuck in the machine. If you can hear the striking, there should be some impact in the hatch holding the staples. Otherwise, you may wish to consult the manufacturer.

I am no expert. But I purchased the staples that came with it. I have a regular Bostitch stapler and it only uses B8 staples. So far I like it very much - very powerful, but loud.

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.

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 Bostitch crown staples and had no issues. I also used finish nails along the outside edges where I couldn't use the stapler and that worked fine as well. Good luck!!!

I believe that's the same one we have that we ordered these staples for. It's an old model and I could not find the right staples for it at any retail store, including independent hardware stores. Glad I was able to find them online and they worked!

It takes standard/regular-size staples. LOVE this stapler!! When they say you can push it down with one finger,they are not exaggerating - it makes stapling so much easier - great for arthritic hands too, even my Grandma loves it! :)

I'd look at a different model of heavy duty stapler. This particular model jams with my every use. I'd spend ten more dollars, and get something that works. Mine will be visiting the recycling bin soon enough.

Not so good. My stapler broke after 5 uses. I returned this broken stapler to amazon and bought a different stapler: Swingline High Capacity Desk Stapler, Reduced Effort, 60 Sheets, Black (S7077701), which has performed flawlessly.

When I opened mine, the staple slide opened for reloading. After closing that, it I tried to staple and it worked it the open position. Hope this helps.

It does not come with staple, however, it takes standard staples. This stapler is loud but work very well and has not jammed.

Hi again Mike,You have the correct item this time. You need the 5000 series staples. The 5008C is 1/4 inch in length. You can use any lengths available between 5/32 - 9/16"Have a nice day!

I don't know. One of the reasons to get the Optima 70 is that you use one staple size regardless of what you are stapling. The stapler says to use Swingline 35550 staples, and does not specify any alternatives.
