Thanks, Sonoma.

Which Senco?

And which compressor? I'm concerned about the noise from the
compressors, because I'm in a rental apartment building and I'm
surrounded by other tenants that I'm concerned about disturbing. That's
why I'm leaning toward an electric.

Go with air and build a sonic box to put around the compressor.

Use the stapler to tack carpet inside a plywood box. Fill up the tank
once and use that for hours.

What about one of the CO2 tanks to supply the stapler, it sounds
like the OP needs would be fairly minimal and depending
on how sensitive/mean the neighbors are it might be a good
option.

Yeah, that's one option, depending on the cost of rentals in his area.
But what's he going to do when he finds out he wants to blow toast
crumbs out his baby oven, clean the vacuum, dry his bbq grille, blow
out the garage, and all the other good stuff compressors are for? He'd
go through a whole tank in an hour.

(Yeah, on the porch/balcony, of course.)
