    You need a pneumatic coil nailer not a stapler
    Staples can work there way loose and cause squeaking
    There a weak fixing for plywood the head has virtually not surface area compared to the head of a nail and can pull through the ply if theres any slight movement in the subfloor.

    You shouldn't be paying any more than 300 including vat but well worth the investment

    I normally use staples with 6mm on chipboard, never had any problems . I use tacwise 90 series staples

    If after a stapler get the bostitch sx1838 bout 120 and can get the divergent 22mm staples (type 90) for about a tenner a box roughly, for 6mm ply on chipboard it's sound as a pound although if you need 9mm on floorboards your probably better getting the nailgun spacey said

    Yea Paul iv always used a spot nailer mallet driven, but when I'm doing bigger areas it's hard going, as I nearly always work on my own

    Divergent staples are fine for chipboard but like would defo be better to coil nail really, personally sold mine and replaced with a stapler as i only do new builds and its always chipboard floors for ply

    Get the bostitch then it's 120 with a 7 yr warranty it's for my money the best stapler going, only thing that slows you down is the compressor
