I have an Airy brand stapler I got as a gift several years ago, seems they are no longer being made.
Anyway, I’m looking for staples to fit this thing. The staples I have for my senco stapler are a bit too wide in the crown, they are 6mm, it seems this airy wants 5.7mm crown staples. Does anyone know where to find a box? Harbor freight, perhaps?
The staples I have found online are all from other countries than the US, and they want you to buy by the pallet.
I just want to buy a box to see if the stapler is any good. If it is any good, I would like to have a source for the staples.
Maybe I should pitch it and buy a newer version of my Senco? The one I have must weigh 6#, and it’s bigger than a breadbox.

If ya pitch it, pitch it over here. I have an 18ga brad nailer that needs new guts, I bet it's the same body..
Bostitch makes 7/32" and another size staple for the button caps..I have each tool and two different staples, have you tried either?

I hadn't thought to try looking at cap nailer staples. I've got one somewhere, I think it's a Spotnails?
I'll look see if I can find it or some staples for it.

I found my spotnails cap gun, it uses 7/16" staples. I'll look around some more tomorrow at the board store.
