Looking for a staple gun for a fencing project, all items I have seen are
silly money. Wondering if it is worth hiring a unit for a week or so.

Has anyone used such a device recently and could recommend something that
might do the job ?

Hoping to put up a chain link wire fence on wood posts 6ft apart over
about 40feet.

I did 120 feet of chain link here, with galv staple and a hammer. Three
or four staples per post and easier than carrying / using a gun.
