compressor/nail gun/stapler questions

[capesams]

any compressor that goes to 65 lbs will work,,,but stay away from any that are oilless,,they seem to die an early death....1/2 crown staple's// sst staples,,1 1/4" long,,I say stainless because the galv. ones Will bleed and leave black streaks down your shingle's , plus these to will die[rust away] before your shingles are ready to give up.....check e-bay for stapler's[gun] if your only going to do your house or a small job. save yourself some $$.

you want a medium crown stapler. Paslode makes a good one as does bostich. I'd go with the bostich as the staples are easier to find. 1/2" as opposed to 7/16" . My opinion is that stainless are great but expensive and harder to find. The galvy staples should last 20 years or more. I've pulled thousands and thousands of them and never saw them get bad unless your house is right on the water. The black streaking will occur eventually though. Some customers liked it some despised it.
