Anyone know of a good stapler for Romex? Those little nail-in thingies are tough on my thumbs... I'd prefer pneumatic, but price *is* an issue, so manual "staple gun" style might be ok if it actually works well. thanx MEW

bought one of these a few years ago. Works *great* driving staples into any new construction, not so great with the 55-year-old yellow pine joists in my basement.

The younger units always beat the older guys these days!

Use a pair of needle nose pliers to hold the staples, thus saving your thumb and forefinger.
Air: I've never seen a pneumatic romex stapler.
Manuals: I've always liked the way Arrow guns work. Try their T-72 model. (Disclaimer: I have no experience with that one here, but have used the T-50 lots and a T-25 once.)

Freshly cut, it's as soft as pine. Dry, it's harder than oak. Import nails bend when they just _see_ aged doug fir. And it handles cold, rainy weather damnear as well as PT, cedar, or redwood. Amazing.

I love doug fir and the local big boxes used to carry it, regularly. Very hard to find, anymore. I'll ignore the "harder than oak" comment and chalk it up to hyperbole. :-)
