Background

The Bostitch LHF97125-2 is a pneumatic stapler specifically designed for the installation of laminated tongue and groove hardwood and engineered flooring. It was introduced by Stanley Black & Decker in 1999. The Bostitch LHF97125-2 has a magnesium body and is designed for durability. The stapler is air-powered, operating at 70-100 PSI. The product has a magazine capacity of 100 staples, and it utilizes 20 gauge staples that range from 1/2" to 1" long with a 3/16" crown. The stapler allows for an adjustable depth setting that ranges from 1/4" to 1/2". It is capable of releasing up to 100 staples per minute.

The Bostitch LHF97125-2 is intended to be used for installing engineered, laminate, and solid hardwood flooring that ranges from 1/4" to 1/2" in thickness. The product is designed to use 20 gauge staples, which are thinner than 18 gauge models that are typically used for such tasks, to prevent damage to the flooring. The stapler is specifically designed for tongue and groove flooring installation and is not suitable for nailing down nail-down only floors. The Bostitch LHF97125-2 is oil-free, which eliminates the need for oiling and reduces the risk of oil stains on flooring. Regular cleaning and inspection for wear is recommended.
