Stanley Bostitch SX1838K 18 Gauge Finish Stapler Kit

Product Description

The STANLEY BOSTITCH SX1838K is an 18-gauge pneumatic finish stapler kit designed for trim, cabinetry, and light framing applications. It drives SX5035 Series staples ranging from 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inches in length, giving installers a wide range of fastening options without switching tools. The oil-free motor eliminates the need for regular lubrication, reducing maintenance time on the job. A dial-a-depth control lets the operator set consistent drive depth for different substrates. The rear exhaust is engineered to minimize noise at the workstation, keeping the tool suitable for occupied spaces.

This stapler kit is built for finish carpenters, cabinetmakers, trim installers, and general contractors working on residential and light commercial projects. The selectable trigger system allows switching between single sequential and contact actuation modes to match the task. A low-nail lockout prevents dry firing, protecting both the workpiece and the tool. The belt hook keeps the stapler accessible when moving between work areas. The kit ships ready to work, including a 1/4-inch swivel air fitting, 1,000 count 1-inch finish staples, and a carrying case for storage and transport.
