Bostitch 21680B-A-E

Small stapler for hard to reach places

Bostitch 21680B-AE is a very compact tool (221x150x40mm). It is smaller in length and height than many other pneumatic staplers, so it is convenient to use it for working in hard-to-reach places. This application is facilitated by an elongated spout, which allows you to reach into any angle. This tool shoots the most common staples of type 58 (native or from other manufacturers of fasteners), which are loaded into a capacious magazine for 139 brackets. The impact force is good and can be adjusted to suit specific material.

Just a machine gun

The Bostitch 21680B-AE stapler requires compressed air with a pressure ranging from 4.9 to 8.4 bar to work. The manufacturer recommends using the Bostitch MRC6-E, but any other good compressor with similar characteristics will do. It is noteworthy that the stapler consumes very little air (only 0.17 L / beat), so it can be paired with a compressor that has a small receiver.

The main feature of this model is the ability to fire bursts. When the trigger is pressed all the way, the automatic firing mode is activated, in which the brackets are fired one by one. This mode allows you to work faster and get tired less. If burst shooting is not needed, then you can buy a cheaper version of Bostitch 21680B-E — exactly the same stapler, but without this function.

It's worth it

Bostitch 21680B-AE is a professional carpentry and construction stapler: reliable, durable, fast-firing, convenient and safe. But because of all the "bells and whistles" listed above, it is quite expensive (a sum under $200 is considered large, as for this type of instrument). Therefore, it makes no sense to buy it for a home workshop. But somewhere in the production, associated with intensive work in non-stop mode, he will become a faithful assistant and favorite "toy".
