   3/8" crown, 18 guage stapler. Never hand nailed a piece in my life. Gun I use is made by Prime. No safety tip makes it easier to get into tight angles, and doesn't scratch the finish. Turn down the air to 70-80lbs, holds the aluminum snug without pushing thru.

   *1/4 inch crown 18 guage stapler... they even make staples in colors to match most soffit colors. (well at least around here they do...)

   I've always hand nailed the soffit pieces to the fascia board. Slow and a pain in the ass. Does any one use a pneumatic stapler/nailer to do this? Any drawbacks?

   Thanks
