I do many things, but one of them is I build wooden crates for
machinery. I would like to buy a good "construction stapler" that
shoots 7/16" wide staples, to attach OSB to 2x4s.

Would anyone recommend a stapler that is well made. I heard many
comments that these staplers cheapened out and simply do not last.

Thanks a ;lot

Â* I like the Porter-Cable nail guns I have , also like my H-F framing
nailer - but it's heavy . I don't recall the brand of staplers we used
in the cabinet shops , but they all seemed pretty much the same . As Dan
said , sometimes suppliers will give you guns , but I doubt you'll be
using the kind of volume they want for that .
Not only are the HF framing nailers heavy but they're huge (at least
mine is). It's really hard to maneuver it around and impossible to
get into many places. I used it once, then went out and bought a
Hitachi.

My PC brad, finish, and narrow crown staplers work fine, though.

Â* I originally bought that nailer to build a fence . That job paid for
it , the rest is gravy - That nail gun has pretty much built this house
we're living in . Framing , sheathing , roof decking , the floor , all
nailed with that gun . I found very few situations that I couldn't use it .
A framing nailer to build a fence?

Â* Yup , 6' cedar dogear nailed to treated 2X4's . That was a unique
fence , we used steel posts and covered both sides with rough cut cedar
. T'was a mighty fine looking fence when I finished it .

Sounds like huge overkill. I have a siding/fencing nailer for such
and use stainless ringshank nails. Are ringshanks available for
framing nailers?

Well steel posts do not rot like cedar and treated do in clay soil along
the gulf coast. And 2x4 and 6" pickets is standard fare here also.

I generally try not to shoot nails into steel posts. ;-)

Yeah! but steel posts rarely have to be replaced. Not so with wood
posts "down here". If the pickets are about toast, the posts will not
generally last much longer. It is a bad idea to replace only pickets
and rails even if the posts seem sound. The posts poop out 3~5 years
later. ;~(

Yes, I shoot ring shank galvanized nails out of my framing nailer.

I've never seen them.

IIRC I have to buy from a trades store.
