Bostitch

When you think of Fastening the name Bostitch comes to mind. Staples are one of the most recognized and useful items that have been invented. The Bostitch group came around in 1896 and invented the world's first stapler. It used a small coil of wire and formed its staple into the item. It was called the Boston Wire Stitcher. Little did they know but this one machine would spawn a wide world of invention. In 1914, the first desk model hand operated stapler was made. Back then, the staples were shipped loose but only a decade later, Bostitch created the first cemented strip staples; which are the standard type for consumer consumption today. In 1948, the Boston Wire Stitcher Company became Bostitch and the rest, as they say, is history. Staples continue to be a main part of the company, as evident with the model GRSHCR38 staples, but they also manufacturer Glue Guns and Slammer Staplers. In 1986, Bostitch was acquired by Stanley from Textron Corp. Since then, Bostitch continues to provide advancements in the fastening industry by not only improving on current fastener designs but also by inventing new fasteners and fastening devices.

With a history going back as far as 1896, Bostitch is the first name that serious workers think of when it comes to fastening. The company was first used to fasten books, calendars, checks and hat boxes, but today the inventors of the coil nailer are better known for creating some of the best nailers and staplers on the market. Whether your professional or do-it-yourself work entails framing, finishing, roofing, flooring, or construction, chances are there is a Bostitch nailer or stapler that will be a perfect fit.

It's no surprise that the company behind some of the best fasteners and pneumatic tools also makes some of the best ways to power them. Bostitch air compressors are actually lightweight (unlike many who make that claim) and, thanks to their low amperage, can run off of standard outlets. You will be able to power multiple pneumatic tools with just one compressor and their pumps are oil-free, so you have one less thing to worry about. Whether you work in the shop, on a job site, or both, there is a Bostitch air compressor that will make your life easier and your finished products better.

Getting a new set of tools can be a hassle; first you need a nail gun, then you need to find the compatible nails, and then you need a portable compressor. Hunting down all of these items is a huge waste of time, especially when you can get a kit made by the best name in fastening. Bostitch's compressor/nail gun combo kits give you everything you need to get to work right when you open the box. They contain between 1 and 3 tools, lots of their compatible fasteners, a portable air compressor, and a carrying case.

Bostitch manufactures the best heavy-duty hammer tacker/stapler money can buy. I guess you would consider it a specialized kind of staple gun. A Bostitch hammer tacker quickly drives in a few dozen staples in a few seconds to firmly hold in place roofing paper, plastic tarps, and other sheeting. It's also great for installing insulation bats between rafters or ceiling joists. The Stanley Bostitch Hammer Tacker has about twice the staple-holding capacity of a regular stapler, allowing you to work for a long time before reloading.
