Score: 75/100Rankings
The Bostitch 651S5 is a heavy-duty pneumatic stapler designed for construction applications like sheathing and siding. It features high drive power and tool-free maintenance, making it reliable for tough jobs. However, its weight and limited staple length range make it less ideal for prolonged overhead work or longer fasteners.
The Metabo HPT N5010A is a pneumatic standard crown stapler designed for heavy-duty residential construction tasks such as sheathing and roof decking. It drives 16-gauge staples with a 1/2-inch crown width, ranging from 3/4 to 2 inches in length. While it offers pneumatic reliability, it lacks detailed specifications for magazine capacity and firing speed.
