I bought an air stapler from Harbor Freight because that is what one upholstery guy was using and I figured if it worked for him it would be good enough for me and it is. I hate doing upholstery work and so much of the foam is deteriorated on the skis I buy, I have a guy a I use and he is very good with reasonable prices. Some models are not too bad but all in alI I'd much rather give it to him. I've fought many. Good Luck!!
