Comments about Stanley Fastening Staples 2" Bostitch:
When starting my sizable flooring job I questioned several pros about securement of solid hardwood flooring. I received many different opinions. So personally I went with the Bostitch 2 inch staples for the following reason. Nail a piece of your hardwood to your subfloor with a barbed nailer then another piece with staples. Now try to remove the hardwood from the subfloor. Which one is the most difficult to remove?

We are installing Morning Star vertical bamboo - in nailing the first couple of rows, do you have a preferred nail. We have a newly installed sub-floor of 3/4" wafer board.1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
When nailing your first and last rows where a nailer won't fit because of the wall or cabinets, drill and hand nail as many board as you can through the tongue at a 45 degree angle. When you don't have room for that pre-drill with 3mm bit (3/32") to prevent finish damage/cracking and face nail with 5d-8d galvanized, screw shank, ring shank or regular finish nails. Countersink with a nail punch and fill holes with a matching filler.Q:

So how many come in a box? 2000?1 answer
A:

how many square feet will one box nail?1 answer
A:
The answer to this question would depend on how wide the flooring plank is that is being stapled and how far apart the spacing of the staples are on each plank. You will use fewer staples on wider plank flooring and more staples on planks that are 2 1/4" wide. With one $54.99 box of staples you may be able to install 1000 sqft up to 3,500 sqft depending on the width of the plank and the staple spacing used.Q:
How many staples are in the box? 5000 or 7728 ??1 answer
A:
This box contains 7720 staples.
