upholstery tools

[Billedis]

I am going to re-upholstry 12 dining room chairs and need a decent 1/4" stapler.  I would like to get one that could handle larger staples if the need arises.  Any recommendations?

Thanks for your help.  Bill

I use Grex and Senco staplers.

I'm an upholsterer. The right stapler is a Rainco/Fasco 7C. 3/8" crown. Like this one:http://upholsterysupplyonline.com/products/Rainco-Upholstery-Staple-Gun-1"-Nose.html

As slodat points out, upholstery staplers use a different type of staple than general purpose/construction staplers, though many people use general purpose staplers for upholstery projects, especially one-off projects.

Porter-Cable makes a nice upholstery stapler (model US58) for about $90.

I use the Grex 50-AD and the 50-ADLS from http://www.thefastenercompany.com/
