Default staple gun for Romex?

anyone recommend one? Got to staple some wires that are run along

it would work OK. Anyone recommend any one above the others, or are they
all about the same?

I'm looking for just a hand operated one, I'm not doing this
professionally, just trying to save attic time during some home
rewiring. I doubt the inspector will look up there, but I don't want to
lie to him either and tell him that I've stapled stuff that I haven't.
(original wiring was just laid over the top of the joists, but I don't
like that. Everything I'm putting in, I'm drilling through and stapling
along.)

thanks,

Nate




I have an Arrow T-something romex stapler. The inspector failed the
wiring in my garage because of it; he said the problem was they weren't
UL listed. I showed him the box with the UL label and that just ****ed
him off.
