Overview
Bostitch built the SB-2IN1 as a two-in-1 flooring nailer, driving both cleats and staples into tongue-and-groove hardwood from a single tool. It is listed at 2.8 pounds.
Buying one tool that switches between cleat and staple fasteners saves a flooring installer from owning two separate guns for the same job. Bostitch positions the SB-2IN1 specifically for hardwood floor installation rather than general framing or trim work.
