Before this we tried the Dewalt 20v roof nailer with the SidingTips adapter (100$ for 3D printed junk) and it was awful and missed about 4 out of every 10 shots. This stapler worked worlds better and the staples hold better than the nails.
10/10 would recommend for siding.
***you can squeeze the front tip in a vice a little to bend/tighten the side tabs to take out some of the play, which further improved the accuracy. You can also grind off a bit of the sides to make it fit in siding grooves better too
My one gripe so far is that the rubber coated handle, and the handle in general, is too thick if you prefer to wear gloves. (Note: When buying gloves at home depot, I find a large size glove a little bit too large. They work, but a medium fits right. And I do prefer the Husky brand heavy duty gloves which have pads on the palms. Good for lugging material around... not as good holding a stapler.) With my 18 gauge tools I'm usually doing finish work, so the rubberized handle fits fine in my hand. In addition, for finish work, you pick up the tool shoot a few and then put it down while you position more material and move along. For sheathing, you drive a ton of staples in a short time period... boxes hold 10k for a reason. Since I'm handling wafer wood / chip board, I prefer to wear gloves. The combination makes gripping the stapler a chore after a while. The much older SNS40 had a smaller bare handle, which really fit my hand better all around.
The Bostitch is a bit bulkier and heavier feeling than the SNS40. For the engineers out there it has a greater moment of inertia than the SNS40, so it doesn't turn and spin quiet as easily. It has a very solid pleasing sound like it is smashing the staples in with command! The depth adjustment works fine with a 4mm allen key. The staple magazine is a little easier to load than the SNS40, but they are very close. An early mistake I made with the SNS40 was grabbing the tail of the magazine as a second hand hold, and it would prevent the staples from fully iterating between shots... and would jam. Once I figured that out things went a lot better. The Bostitch has a good spot to grab which won't squeeze the magazine around the staples, so that's a plus over the SNS40.
The Air deflector on the bostitch points back down at your target area, which works well to minimize dust kick up if you are working along the bottom edge of a sheet a few inches from dry loose dirt. The SNS40 was particularly bad in this situation. It vented up and out from the top of the head. If you turn the stapler upside down to staple the bottom row it would kick up a cloud with every shot.
The SNS40 did struggle with a batch of Grip-Rite 1-3/4" staples from Home Depot. It jammed a lot more often than it should have. Once I switched staples to a 1-1/2" Grip-Rite from a local supply house the jamming stopped completely. I have not run any of the larger staples in the Bostitch yet to see how it does, but I have had zero jams on the newer batch of staples with the Bostitch. I put about 13k staples through the SNS, and have run about 1k through the bostitch so far.
The skyhook/belt hook/rafter hook is a VERY welcomed feature on the bostitch. Both staplers have the same gate to clear jams. It's a lot tighter on the bostitch... harder to open, maybe just new behavior. Not sure, but the same mechanism appears on a number of the construction staplers on the market including the makita.
Rapid staple firing... This is a hard one for me to compare, but deserves some mention. Hard to compare because the SNS40 had no safety. (In some cases the pressure of the safety mechanism will push your cabinet parts out of alignment as you get ready to set a staple. That's why it had not safety on it.) For sheathing this made the SNS40 really great for setting staples fast. Drag the tip down the line and pull the trigger as quick as you can! Once I had the hang of it things flew. With the bostitch in single fire mode you have to come off and reset the safety for each staple. In the end it's about 1/3 to 1/2 as fast as I could go with the SNS40. In bumpfire mode I would frequently get multiple staples in one location when the stapler would jump and reset to fire again. Here again, I just couldn't keep up with the SNS40.
Regarding safety mechanisms, maybe I just have ground to cover in learning to use air tools, but I would really like to see a safety with a different function on staplers. Being able to just drag the tool down the line on the sheathing a pull the trigger is definitely a faster way to go. If the safety would allow you to keep shooting one staple with each trigger pull, without coming off the work surface it would be ideal.
In all it feels and acts like a well made tool, a bit larger and heavier than I would like, but very sturdy. Being that every safety I have come across acts the same way, I would purchase it again.
I’ve used this mostly for cedar shingle siding and for attaching plywood sheathing to framing. Everything about this tool works as it should; unless you hit a _really_ solid knot it drives staples exactly flush no matter the length of the staple or material you’re fastening. The magazine is smooth and easy to operate even wearing gloves. Balance seems ‘right’. Weight is fine. Handle isn’t too big for smaller hands. Not super-sensitive to pressure setting — 90-100psi seems fine.
The selectable firing is a huge: bump-fire is fine for sheathing, but you really need sequential firing for shingles and other more precise work. This tool does both, and it’s super easy to switch the doohickey on the trigger to select the mode you want. Letting a bump-fire tool bounce off the work to pretend it’s sequential (what Freeman & other cheaper tools sell) is _not_ the same thing.
The only things it hasn’t handled is stapling through 3 layers of steel flashing (accordians the staple, but doesn’t jam), and a direct end-on hit on a hidden framing nail (also mangled but didn’t jam).
Features it doesn’t have that you don’t need:
- Tool-less depth adjustment: Haven’t needed to adjust, regardless of what I’ve been driving or fastening.
- Adjustable exhaust: This tool directs the exhaust down the front of the tool. I’ve worked up under eaves, into corners, bottom edges, upside-down and backwards, etc. Never wished for it to exhaust any other direction.
Seriously, you’ll be cussing that cheap tool long after you’ve forgotten how much you saved.

UPDATE , after the 8th 10,000 sq foot roof the gun blew a air seal and no longer works needs repair
UPDATE ordered a seal kit cheap on here gun is back up and running turns out the reason it blew a seal was because my compressor pump was pushing a-lot of oil threw the lines and tore a seal, not the guns fault it works great again just like new after a seal kit
