I’m going to be replacing my Bostitch flooring stapler soon. I was wonderiing if anyone has used to new 2-in-1 cleat/staple gun from Bostitch. I see the older version is sold at Home Cheapo now branded as a DeWalt. Wondering if I’m better off sticking with the old model vs. switching to the new.
Thanks
Prescriptive codes don't address the connection at less common angles, so base the connection off more typical ones using bolts, structural screws, blocking, and steel tension ties.

You get what you pay for
I have a Bostich cleat nailer (3/4" material) and one for engineered flooring (3/8"). I purchased them at Menards. Both have done well over the years. I am not a flooring contractor, but I do flooring. I estimate I use these tools twice per year...maybe 3X. My tools are 7-8 years old. Every tool is made for a specific task. The 2-in-1 is probably geared to the occasional home-owner-project. REMEMBER THIS: you get what you pay for.
