What’s the best stapler?

In my shop we go through a fair number of staplers and I’ve never seen one that could consistently set a staple flush in a 2×4 or other softwood much less through fabric or plastic into a 2×4.  I usually give up and carry around a hammer to finish every staple which is time consuming and frustrating.  And for the moment I’ll ignoring the constant jamming.

Has anyone had good luck with a specific stapler or is there some magic spell to solve all the troubles with them?  Dealing with cords or hoses is a pain I’d rather avoid for a simple stapler but those look like the only option (and I don’t even know if electric would be an improvement)

I really like the Dewalt stapler. Model #: DWHTTR350. I have had good success with it, even in some hard woods.

if your going fabric into wood you, best bet will be air and best stapler would be paslode stapler US-100

nice thing about this is takes about 40lbs and can staple up to 15 staples a second, I like it because it is a production model no safety so it goes as long as the trigger is pulled….crazy if your a nut bar but awesome when ya need it…..

I’ve had mine now for about 3 years never had a jam and I probably have gone through 25,000 staples poker tables take about 1200 staples each built about a dozen or so with it…..

I know air hose is and can be cumbersome but I have mine on a spring over work table above and pull it down when in use.

I just use one of the old Arrow T-50’s. It works for me. I just use the butt of the stapler to set any staples that aren’t flush enough to suit me.

I think the Milwaukee actually has a plate on the butt that is made for smacking flush staples. No experience on how well it works. I might try one when the arrow takes a crap.

I have two of them and don’t recall having any problems. They’ve been good to me.
