Anyone have a pneumatic upholstery stapler?

Thanks for all the offers guys. Found a friend that has the setup I need and is about 20 minutes away.

Thanks for the offer and for checking. 18 ga is too heavy for this application.

My stapler shoots 3/16" wide crown staples. I have 9/16" long on hand.

Thanks for checking Bert,

I'm hoping this other one works out best. He said he has the exact wire staples in stainless I need to run. Someone I know from the audio forum and he's a woodworker/carpenter/cabinetmaker/contractor with all the cool toys. Kinda like you but with wood.

So now Bert is woodless, sad sad day!

Dry cat food will do that.

If you could, let me know what stapler he has and if its the right one. My narrow crown staplers are much narrowererer. I know you are set, but I do have an electric stapler that shoots the T50 staples that you could use, I bought it for some leather upholstery work I did a while back. I might be rather close to you also.

Will do.

Thanks for the offer but I have an electric T50 I bought to do my jetski seat years ago. Biggest POS and waste of money ever. I did use it for some other simple upholstery work, but it wouldn't shoot 1/4" staples through the marine vinyl and HARD plastic seat base. Had I put more research and thought to it like I did this time, I'd probably have bought a Porter-Cable like all my other air nailers.

As I understand it;

The 3/16 narrow crown (and long staples) are meant for nailing hardwood, flooring, crown moldings and millwork, fencing, etc.

Most 3/8" (and wider) that can shoot short 22 gauge staples are intended for upholstery work. Porter-Cable US58 is one I could have run over to HD and picked up if they carried them in store and I wasn't being cheap and spent so much on this boat already. I'm having second thoughts about just getting one, but there's none to be found locally. There's lots of others and "marine" kits on fleabay when I was looking for something. Technically according to this chart, 3/8 is "medium crown" but every manufacturer I've seen calls it narrow crown. It's also called "Senco C-type 22 gauge."



The current mac-daddy of affordable upholstery staplers is the Grex. This bad boy is select-fire.
