Lowes has a kit that includes all but the pinner. Decent quality, but not

other nail like some of the other cheap ones.

FWIW, bought the PowerShot manual stapler (Model 5700M) which is also
capable of using 9/16 and 5/18 finish nails. I've run over a box (1250
3/8" staples) through it, and it has not jammed once. That is good
because it appears there are 2 or 3 screws that need to be removed "in
the rare event" that it does jam. The string in quotes is from the
instructions. The stapler is $19.99 at Lowes but I saw it on sale
Menards recently for about $14.99. It did what I needed it to do (put
up some insulation).

I bought an Arrow CT50 LiIon stapler to do some insulation work. What a total
waste of money! It won't even stick a 1/2" staple into SYP. The safety makes
it totally useless. That was a Franklin down the tubes.
