I like the Powershot stapler. I found that having the staple release from the same end you squeeze takes less effort and makes accurate placement easier.

: 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?
