I only have two gripes, one is the foam padding that wore off after two uses and second, the safty is hard to get used to because the gun has to be held perfectly to the material but its still a sound gun. Of course it doesn't get used everyday on my jobs but it works when it does get used. I have used this stapler for about a year and so far so good. Its got plenty of power and hasn't jammed once.
Overall a good gun, nice case and good depth adjustment and consistency even in thin delicate material. 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.
Nice little touch. One nice feature is an integral 3/8" spacer on the nosepiece which allows me to very easily center the staple in 3/4" material. I would recommend. I use this stapler almost exclusively to install plywood backs (typically 1/4" to 3/8" thick) on cabinet carcasses which are almost always 3/4" plywood. I have not had a jam or other problem in over two months of use.
In addition, the soft feel of the hand grip is very comfortable, although it is already showing signs of wear. In short, the stapler worked perfectly. I purchased the SLS 18 stapler to secure luan underlayment in my kitchen/breakfast room. I shot over 5000 staples without any jamming, double fires, etc.
