Senco SLS18 1W0002N 1/2-Inch to 1-1/2-Inch 18-Gauge Stapler

Works well easy to use durable

not hard to place so that it will fire when you want it to

Just remember to turn it upside down when you go to load the nails.

Works like it should

I used this stapler quite a lot since if first got it and would recommend it for the price, but my only complaint that kept it from getting five starts would be that every now and then it misfires and just marks up the wood - happens the most with 1 1/2" staples but has never happened with 3/4" staples, I was using Senco staples too, but no jams though. Overall a good gun, nice case and good depth adjustment and consistency even in thin delicate material.

This is a quality tool and a favorite in our small shop. I've always liked Senco but one of the selling points for me for this tool was that the work contact element is on the OUTBOARD side of the the driver. Many staplers now have it inboard, but to me Senco does it right.

Though it has only been used for a short time, it lives up to its name brand reputation. I look forward to sending many staples through it.

After using the SLS18 for a few years, I am finally giving up on it. The first thing to fail was the foam grip around the body of the gun. It tore and fell off of the gun after a few uses. Wrapping electrical tape around the grip doesn't exactly look professional. The next problem was the unit misfiring after every few shots. Personally, I think there is a design flaw in which the driver blade does not line up quite perfectly with the staple to be shot. This has been a frustrating and persistent nuisance. Technical support was quite pleasant to deal with, but has yet to deliver an effective solution. Now, the stapler has lost it's muscle. Even at 120psi feed, it struggles to drive even 1" staples effectively. I am all about repairing tools, as I absolutely hate having to buy a tool twice, but one can only invest so much time and frustration and eventually it just isn't worth it. In summary, "Should have bought the Hitachi".... comes to mind again.

Right tool for the job. I’m a commercial soffit installer and been using Senco for 12 years. It does get warn down but gets high use all summer and fall.
