I intend to fence off an area of garden using timber posts and galvanished chicken netting.
I want to automate the process by means of a stapler that can fire suitable staples, presumably galvanised or rust resistant. I want to give my usual hammer and staple method a swerve.
Electric or manual, below £50.
Recommendations please.

Arrow T-50, or their version of it that does staples if you want a specific sort of fastener.
Nothing else comes close for reliability and robustness. I'm on my third in 25 years - haven't broken one yet, but the first two sprouted legs.
I'm not so sure, mine is 29 yo and the plastic catch on the carry case has broken. I have to use a rubber band now and they only last a few months.
Looks like the Arrow T50 is the only one in the frame. Thank you. Can anyone tell me the best staple length for chicken wire with a 2" mesh.

One that the stapler can fully drive home in what ever timber you are stapling to.
I wouldn't be to sure about the longevity of ordinary staples out in the weather either. Even if having some form of zinc plating or other protection by their very nature of coming off a strip, they must have some bare metal exposed.
