    Default Air stapler

    Does anyone know of a good quality air stapler that uses Arrow T-50 staples? I've looked and only came with what appears to be low cost/quality options. Thanks in advance.

    fasco staplers do. I have a fully automatic one that is great for tar paper and house wrap. Uses the T-50 staples. Mine has the extended magazine and holds 3 clips of staples at a time. They are expensive guns and expensive parts, but are worth it, IMHO

    I believe this is the one I have. I picked mine up off ebay for around $150 about 5 years ago. This is actually a descent price for a new one with warranty.

    Thank you very much. That is exactly what I was looking for. I have to install a lot of screen for a porch coming up.

    The staplers made by Duo Fast are much better than the Fasco, I have both.

    The Fasco just seems like a cheap plastic imitation of the Duo Fast, which is all metal construction and bullet proof.

    I'll agree with the duofast. If you are just using it for screen (it works great for that), maybe get the shorter mag - it is a little easier to maneuver. Expensive though. We only use it for felt when we are shingling right away. We are getting away from it for housewrap due to all the extra holes versus cap nails. Plus Tyvek doesn't recommend that method anyway.
