Im installing Bruce Natural Reflections Hardwood. Subfloor is 3/4 T&G planks in good shape. Im covering with 1/2 Ply for underlayment. I already have a Bostich SX150-BHF which is apparently made for this type floor. My question is canthis stapler be used for fastening the ply to the subfloor is I were to remove the angle attachment???

Just long enough so they don't blow out the bottom.

Harbor Freight has a econo- stapler that will work just fine for what you are wanting to do.

I think they are $9 The 2-n-1 also shoots brad nails. I think it is $18

Had mine for 10 years and use it every now and then, when I run across floor trusses on 2 ft centers and I need to overlay with plywood.
