The unit will drive 3/4 inch staples into maple.The third disappointment was that the unit did not come with a case, even though Amazon advertises it as shipping with a case.The fourth disappointment was when I found the SLS20 at a much lower price at a major home improvement store.Overall, I'd recommend buying the SKS-L, or if you can tolerate the reduced power, go with a lower priced Senco stapler.I returned the SLS20 and ordered the SKS-L. Probably won't take very long before it begins to come unglued and looks all ratty.The second disappointment was that the unit will not drive one inch staples into maple - it leaves the head proud by about 1/16.
My two options were the SLS20 (this one) or the SKS-L. I own a Senco FP25XP brad nailer and have been extremely satisfied with it - so when I decided to purchase a narrow crown stapler, I chose Senco again.
And because of the way it's wrapped, it's unconfortable in your hand. The SLS20 was less expensive and reviewers here gave it good ratings so I ordered the SLS20.When I received it, however, I was a bit disappointed.
The cushion grip is not moulded like on the FP25, but is a piece of foam rubber wrapped around the handle and glued. I checked the pressure on my compressor and it's in spec.
While the SKS-L has its own problems, it does have the power that the SLS20 is lacking.
The picture you have in the ad is of the senco brad nailer.Please fix it so as not to confuse the customers.
I've used this stapler quite extensively around the house and it has performed flawlessly. No jams, very smooth operation. Nothing more to say, this is the cream of the crop as far as narrow crown staplers go. It's worth the extra money.
If you've ever shot 18 GA. The SLS 20 is much like the SLP 20 brad nailer. It doesn't have as much power as the larger SKS staple gun which uses the same staples but weighs a lot more. They also seem to recoil more which is a bother. Just flip the EZ clear lever and you're back in business. In its favor the SKS will consistently sink 1 1/2" staples into hardwood all day long.The SLS fits into smaller spaces though so It's somewhat a trade off.
Any nail or screw behind your work surface will make quick work of these little fasteners. Pretty powerful for its size and very smooth in operation. staples you know it doesn't take much to turn them into a pretzel. Nevertheless Other mini 1/4 inch crown staplers don't compare. They don't have the same power and they don't fire with the same super smooth action. This gun is very easy to deal with in this situation.
Top it off with an adjustable depth of drive and oilless operatin and you have the best small 1/4" crown stapler in the industry.
