Spring loaded stapler

**RussellB** · 6th March 2013, 08:13 PM

I want to attach shade cloth and insulation foil to softwood or treated pine. Can anyone recommend common brand staplers that do the work? Also, any brands that upholsterers use that you can get on eBay?

thanks

I use a stapler at work a lot and have used quite a few and the one I prefer by a long chalk is the PowerShot. It will do what you've mentioned.

I think apholsteres would more likely use an electric or pnumatic stapler, i might be wrong, but you wouldn't want to be hauling a cord or hose behind you if you didn't have to.

I've found that the staples tend to not hold the shadecloth that well. You can buy these little tab things with about a dozen legs that you bash in which are made for the job. Can get them at Bunnies.

Yeah good point, Yowie.

Is that the Black and Deck Powershot? I see there's also Cobra Powershot stapler at twice the price as the B&D.

Yep. Mine isn't, but it seems Black and Decker have bought the brand.
