which air stapler for upholstery and/or hardboard/thin ply

[Random Orbital Bob]

Hi folks

Every now and then the furniture I make requires some form of upholstering. The choices seem a little bewildering in that even Axi have 2 20 gauge and 2 18 gauge staplers

I already havean 18 gauge brad air nailer but I need the staples for tacking fabric to wood. If it was man enough to tack hardboard or even 1/4" ply that would be a bonus.

Any eperience out there to point me in right direction pls. Im driving to Axy tomorrow to get one so ts hot for me.

Cheers all
Bob

It seems there are narrow and wide 20 gauge crown staples and this is the wider sort....seems to attract all the reviews so Ive made my mind up
