Senco SKSXP-L Crown Stapler Review

Senco SKSXP-L Crown Stapler

Incorporating a NeverLube design, the Senco SKSXP-L Crown Stapler is a virtually maintenance-free tool that is suitable for a busy professional or a less-than-experienced do-it-yourselfer. It shoots gauge 18 staples with a crown of 1/4" and lengths varying from 7/8 to 1-1/2 inches.

The machine is perfect for use in the assembly of cabinets and furniture, construction of door and window casings, as well as the fastening of trims, moldings, wood shingles, underlayment, fascia, soffits, and aluminum and vinyl sidings. It is also useful for working on hobbies and arts and crafts.

Given these kinds of applications, nail placement is important. It is for this reason that the trigger of the stapler can only be fired in a sequential or restrictive mode. You need to first depress the nozzle against your work before pulling the trigger to fire a shot. For a second shot, you need to fully release the trigger and repeat the entire procedure.

The tool allows you to choose the depth of your staples. You only need to slide the lower safety element either up or down after loosening the screw that holds it in place. To facilitate access to tight spots the nozzle has a 1-inch long lip.

The staple magazine can hold as many as 158 staples. This helps minimize downtime due to frequent reloading. Further, the magazine has an EZ-load and EZ-clear design that simplifies reloading procedure.

With an operating pressure ranging from 70 to 120 PSI, you are assured that your staples can be flushed with the surface of your works, regardless of whether they are softwoods, hardwoods, or engineered woods.

Working with the Senco SKSXP-L Crown Stapler is easy. In spite of its power, it is a quiet machine. Weighing only 4.2 lbs., it will not cause excessive arm fatigue even if you have been working for extended hours. The handle is also wrapped with rubber for a soft and secure hold.
