Electric Stapler Gun

[MarkS100]

We need to re-upholster some of our dining room chairs. They have a ply base about 5 mm thick and we intend to staple new cover material on to them (stapled underneath so cannot be seen). The electric staplers I have seen TacWise (EL53 and EL140) and Stanley TRE555 use either a "53" or a "140" staple. Prices seem to be comparable. I assume the "140" is heavier duty. I intend to use staples of 6mm length.

Any advice or experiences on what type might be the most suitable for this job?

Many thanks,

Mark S.

Use the 140. Just make sure that you make good contact with the sole plate.
