Where to get staples
I was at an auction the other day and came home with an air powered
staple gun. Not one that shoots those little staples like you desk stapler, but shoots 2 inch long staples. I see these used on pallets, and often in construction. Using my small air compressor which is just a basic tire filler, I shot a staple thru a 2x4 and it came out the other side. Lots of power there. The best part, I bought it for 50 cents. But there were only a few staples in it and now that I used them all up just playing. Where can I buy staples for these things? The brand of the stapler is Bostitch. Mark |

Mark Cripes man, if you're not smart enough to figure out where to get staples for that deadly weapon, you'd best leave it on the shelf before you hurt someone with it... Patrick |

Patrick I'm glad I was not the only one thinking that. I am even gladder that someone chose to suggest it. The description the OP gave did not make me feel good. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

I had the same problem and I solved it by just buying a new
staple gun. You get hundreds of "free" staples when you buy the new gun. |

The brand of the stapler is Bostitch. Mark Most any building supply or even the big box stores should have them. Thanks Joseph I'll ignore all the rude comments on this thread. Having never owned one of these things, I thought they were more specific to construction companies. However, I called a local Home Depot and Menards. Both have them. I was afraid I'd have to mail order and I know how shipping costs and minimum orders are on things like this. I also found that Bostitch has a website. Playing with this thing almost makes me want to get a power nailer, and I'm the guy that has always said give me a hammer and nails and forget the power stuff... |
