Hi all. I started stapling strips last night (actually strip would be more appropriate) and found that the stapler I am using is completely inadequate. I had bought the arrow stapler in the link below, but is doesn't have enough power to get a 1/2" staple through the strip and into the plywood form. When it does, it doesn't stick well and causes tearing of the wood at the staple's exit.

I did try the brads which works alright, but doesn't hold the strip to the form very well, and still pops out easily.

Can anyone recommend a better stapler? I thought of trying my finish nailer but I'm afraid this might be overkill and cause an unnecessarily large hole. Plus, I find I have to be very careful with the air pressure or it drives the nail all the way in, making removal a real chore.

Thoughts?
