 Bostitich China vs German StaplesAug 15, 2011
By Mr. Bill
I have a Bostictch S3297 stapler that worked very well with the old Stanley Bostitich staples made in Germany (SB97-1G). As soon as I switched to the Bostitch staples made in China (SB97-1GLS) I experienced staples that would jam up on the top of the tongue and would not even penetrate the flooring 80% or more of the time.
I found another brand made in Germany and I had no jams whatsoever. Apparently the China staples are very poor and inferior metal compared to the German made staples. Unfortunately, all you can get from Bostitch are the China made staples. I called Bostitch and they did not have a solution or an apology.
My stapler works flawlessly with the German made staples again!

Chinese staples inferiorJun 16, 2012
By Coachrka
I'm in the middle of laying hardwood and bought a new box of staples which were made in China. Immmediately had misfires and twisted staples. I had a number of left over partial staple racks from ones I bought two years ago that were USA made and put them in the gun and they worked fine. Went back to store and exchanged box but the chinese staples have over fifty per cent mangled misfires.

Do not purchase these!Feb 07, 2012
By smurfdogster
I read some of the other reviews where they said not to purchase staples made in China. I thought I had purchased quality staples made elsewhere because they were the expensive Bostitch brand.Wrong!These staples were from China and are crap. I experienced a huge amount of misfires which slowed the job down considerably. Remember, all the mangled staples must be removed as they prevent the next piece of flooring from being installed. I had to carefully pry the bad staple up with a small screwdriver and then grab it with a pair of vice grips and pull it slowly out. Found some staples made in Germany and had no problems with these. To add insult to injury, they were also slightly cheaper.

Lousy PackagingMay 24, 2010
By N. Dennis
These are the most expensive staples out there and I only paid the higher price because others who had purchased cheaper staples commented that their cheap staples arrived all broken up as a result of poor packaging. Well guess what, these expensive staples arrived in the the same condition. I don't think there was one stick that was longer than 10 staples when they arrived. When you pack a five lb. box of glued together steel pieces and a heavy staple set in a big box (I could have put at least a dozen boxes of staples in it) with one air pillow to keep things from moving around the result is predictable. The air pollow deflates and the staple box rattles around until it breaks open, spilling all the staples out so the the staple set can beat the sticks into little pieces. On a positive note my money was immediately refunded and Amazon issued a pickup tag so I was not out any money for returning them. The biggest issue I'm facing is that local stores don't carry this size staple so you are stuck with the web for replacements. Beware!! When you purchase your stapler make sure the type of staples it uses are locally available.
DO NOT BUYMay 30, 2013
By Justin Schellenberg
I purchased these staples hoping they would work with the Bostich floor runner. I assumed that the recommended Bostich staples would work well with the stapler of the same brand; BAD ASSUMPTION. I should have heeded the warnings in the other reviews. There were too many misfires to count, and the aggravation was beyond measurable after only a day of laying the engineered hardwood floor. I thought the problem might have been the Floor runner stapler since I purchased the reconditioned unit (from Amazon), but I decided to try a different brand of staples after re-reading the reviews of this product. I ordered the B & C Eagle 97/25 1-Inch 20 Gauge 3/16-Inch Crown Staple for S3297-LHF (5,000 per Box) from Amazon and paid the upcharge for the next day delivery. I could not have made a better decision. I have virtually eliminated ALL misfires just by switching to the B&C brand staples!
Bottom Line: DO NOT BUY THESE. Buy the B & C Eagle 97/25 1-Inch 20 Gauge 3/16-Inch Crown Staple for S3297-LHF (5,000 per Box)
