Having had the, er, privledge of participating in some research testing of staple guns, I learned Arrow is about the most over rated stapler made. But by and large, they all work the same, last as long, and it's personal preference on what you like. I like the weird one myself, B&D's. I like its feel and action. However it's prone to spring problems and you regularly have to jiggle it to get the spring to reset for the next saple strike.
Arrow has brought out a new stapler that looks interesting. It's got what they claim is adjustable depth. It's targeted at electricians, claiming that you can adjust the gun so that it will staple wires against studs without crushing the wire. That could have some very nice implications for strip built boats if it works as advertised.
