Default Air Staple guns

Still looking to speed up feather edge board fixing. Finished off a play
house for my granddaughter today using a Tackwisw mains nailer with 25mm
staples to fix the F/E boards.

Two or three staples per board gave a surprisingly good fix.

My existing compressor will run a suitable staple gun so this looks like a
possible way ahead. Decided to stay with the screws for decking, so this
would be simply for F/E boards.

Any problems I haven't thought of?


==================================
Have you looked at T-nails (Screwfix catalogue)? The head on these is much
bigger than the stem, and you might be able to get some to fit your
existing gear. The T head would probably solve the potential splitting of
feather edge boards.
