Been there done that. I ended up buying a Duo-Fast electric narrow
crown stapler. It kicks like a 22 pistol. I now have at least 3
staplers (not sure I haven't seen the 4th one for a while), 2 electric
and a manual. I find the manual one good when you don't want full
penetration like hanging weather barrier temporarily till I can get the
siding up, but any upholstery job, unless you can see through the
material, calls for the electric narrow crown.
