Hi!

I'm going to be installing a 3/4" hickory solid hardwood floor over
the next couple of days. The room isn't huge; probably about 10x11.

My question, should I attempt to rent the stapler from Home Depot, buy
the one from HD for ~500 bucks, or get a cheap one from Harbor Freight
for 99 bucks. The one from HF can be found here...

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=99640

It's model number 99640-9VGA. I couldn't really find anything about
it on the web, and I'm a little leery about the quality of it, like
everything else from HF.

The other question, about how much is it to rent a floor stapler from
HD?

Have you thought of calling them and asking?

BTW, I'd use cleats, not staples.

Why not rent a first-class stapler at your local rent-all?

I second the motion. You can buy the crappy one for about the same
price as renting a good one, but unless you intend to lay a lot of
floors, owning the device makes no sense.

Check the installation instructions for your flooring. They may not
cover the warranty if you use staples. I can assure you that staples
will loosen up faster than nails.
