Recommendations: Staple gun for upholstery
Hi everyone I was looking for some advice on staple guns for upholstery, it needs to fire 80 series staples and I believe these guns are usually called a 800 series?? I have been recommended an apach gun by the teacher so I rocked up to buy one at $210.00 until I saw it was made in Taiwan.
So now I am kind of stuck I don’t want to spend the earth on a gun but I want some thing which is going to last I have had a look around and I can get a paslode (recommended brand from farther in law) for $230.00 or a airco one made in Europe for $250.00 (or a airco one made in Taiwan for $170.00)
I spoke to the teacher again and he said the main point to concider is that you can get replacement parts.
I already have a compressor etc and have also been told that the air guns are better because they are smaller
What it boils down to is every sales man I have spoke to says there’s is the best which is to be expected but I am a bit green in this area and cant see through the sales speak, if any one could give me some advise or personal experiences it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Greg
