I've been looking at both types of flooring staplers. Can you install 3/8 engineered with the Bostitch MIIIFS? I know the SENCO SLS20HF flooring stapler will install the engineered, but will the bigger Bostitch install both 3/4 solid goods and 3/8 engineered?

Howdy, folks! I'm a Pacific NW supplier of electric radiant heat. I have been at this a while, living in a comfort zone of installing under tile. Now I'm trying to bring some solutions to my customers who want to install under laminate, vinyl, and hardwood. So I'm asking the experts how they get...
