Is it just me or does everyone have a lot of trouble with jams, misfires and seal failure on 1/4" crown staplers? I have a couple of PC's and a Bostitch. Right now only one of the PC's is working. I don't have this kind of trouble with other kinds of nailers.

I use a crown stapler more than most I would wager. We use them for underlayment fastening, sometimes to the tune of 30+ sheets at a clip. Literally firing non-stop, bump fire, all day type of use. The absolute best I have used is my old school Hitachi. I have used Senco, Bostich (second favorite), Duo-Fast, Porter-Cable, Ridgid, Craftsman, and probably a few others I can't remember. Hitachi crushes them all imo. Now that I think of it all of my favored air guns are Hitachi.
I’ve have one of the PC 1-1/2" NC staplers that I think is probably around 6-years old now. I don’t recall having too many jambs, but do have the occasional misfire with it. Usually giving it a good cleaning takes care of the problem though.

My Bostitch is actually 7/32" crown.:furious: 1/4" seems to run through it OK though.

I have about 20,000 through my Ridgid...no one jam yet. I got the Ridgid ones b/c they are orange, easy to get, on sale and no one else I have worked with has them. LOL...and they match my paslodes...orange...
Senco and PC brand staples. mostly use 1 and 1.5" length

Put that many through it every couple hours and report back :whistling:laughing:
I bet ya a dollar the drive pin is bent, it misfires every third rack, and you become an impromptu Kobe impersonator as you ****-can it from outside the 3 point line :laughing:
Ridgid air tools are for hobbyists in my unfortunate experiences
guess thats why they offer a lifetime warranty on themPut that many through it every couple hours and report back :whistling:laughing:

I've got a Rigid 2" brad gun--Best gun in the rack I have a lot of brad guns-Senco-Bostich-you name it.
I have no idea if any of their other guns are good or junk--but the 2" brad gun works well,

It is a good gun...on thing I noticed is the Sencos leave a slighly smaller hole.
