My two options were the SLS20 (this one) or the SKS-L. The cushion grip is not moulded like on the FP25, but is a piece of foam rubber wrapped around the handle and glued.
While the SKS-L has its own problems, it does have the power that the SLS20 is lacking. 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.
And because of the way it's wrapped, it's unconfortable in your hand. 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.
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. 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.
I checked the pressure on my compressor and it's in spec.
The picture you have in the ad is of the senco brad nailer.Please fix it so as not to confuse the customers.
No jams, very smooth operation. It's worth the extra money. I've used this stapler quite extensively around the house and it has performed flawlessly. Nothing more to say, this is the cream of the crop as far as narrow crown staplers go.
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. They also seem to recoil more which is a bother. Pretty powerful for its size and very smooth in operation. They don't have the same power and they don't fire with the same super smooth action. Any nail or screw behind your work surface will make quick work of these little fasteners. This gun is very easy to deal with in this situation. It doesn't have as much power as the larger SKS staple gun which uses the same staples but weighs a lot more. Nevertheless Other mini 1/4 inch crown staplers don't compare.
If you've ever shot 18 GA. Just flip the EZ clear lever and you're back in business. The SLS 20 is much like the SLP 20 brad nailer. 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. staples you know it doesn't take much to turn them into a pretzel.
