electric nailgun/stapler.

[Reality Bites]

can anyone recommend an electric nailgun?

I need to do a whole load of underlay over the next week or two and don't want to resort a manual stapler again.

I'm also got some wooden floor trim and some wood work in the garden which needs some tacking (20-25mm tacks)

Ive only got experience of the gas powered ones, paslode make some of the best the ones ive used can fire 90mm nails through 4x4 like its butter

i don't have a compressor.... don't really have any other need for a compressor or i'd be tempted to go that route. it seems nailers either fire 4-14mm or 15-30mm staples.......no middle ground

You can hire a paslode cordless stapler, usually uses a 16 gauge staple,3/4" - 2" length, which is suitable for medium to heavy work, have used one to fit architrave in the past.

You don't need a compressor for paslode you have "gas cells"

Well worth hiring.

A gas powered stapler seems a bit overkill for underlay. How about one of these http://www.screwfix.com/p/hammer-tacker/10860, you can get similar in Wickes etc.

He is also fixing wooden floor trim and some wood work in the garden, that is why I suggested a cordless stapler.
