Anyone know of a good stapler for Romex? Those little nail-in thingies are tough on my thumbs... I'd prefer pneumatic, but price *is* an issue, so manual "staple gun" style might be ok if it actually works well. thanx

I bought one of these a few years ago. Works *great* driving staples into any new
construction, not so great with the 55-year-old yellow pine joists in my basement.

Use a pair of needle nose pliers to hold the staples, thus saving your
thumb and forefinger.

Air: I've never seen a pneumatic romex stapler.

Manuals: I've always liked the way Arrow guns work. Try their T-72
model. (Disclaimer: I have no experience with that one here, but have
used the T-50 lots and a T-25 once.)

I have the Gardner Bender stapler. It works pretty well, though sometimes it
doesn't go in all the way or I need a more substantial staple.

Hold the back of your hand to the wood, the staple between your index
and middle finger. It doesn't hurt nearly as much if you hit your hand
that way.

Ditto for many nailing situations.

Now,now....SYP is a softwood.

And 55 year old Douglas Fir (we don't get SYP much up here) is a

DF is all we have up here in the PNW. /brag g

Freshly cut, it's as soft as pine. Dry, it's harder than oak.
Import nails bend when they just _see_ aged doug fir. And it handles
cold, rainy weather damnear as well as PT, cedar, or redwood. Amazing.

For those in the bay area, Jackel in watsonville has nice new and
recycled doug fir; with the new in 8/4 and 10/4. Reclaimed is hit-n-miss.

I love doug fir and the local big boxes used to carry it, regularly.
Very hard to find, anymore.
I'll ignore the "harder than oak" comment and chalk it up to hyperbole.

You'd be mistaken. Try working with 50 year old DF fourbatooz. You

I'm not the one who insisted DF gets as hard as oak. In fact, I
specifically let it alone because I knew it was hyperbole, speaking
figuratively. That was fine with me.

But then some other guy insisted it was, actually. And I call bull****.

My property is primarily Fir, Cedar, and Hemlock with some Maple and
Wild Cherry. I'm mostly taking out the 130' tall multi headed
Hemlocks so I can sleep better at night. With some of the Doug Fir
that came down on the neighbors property as I was splitting rounds I
probably put 25% to one side to be resawn for boxes ect. A tree guy
I do some work for hauling chips or excavator work got to log part of
an old growth forest. He's got 5' diameter rounds about 6' long
that's he is taking to the mill to have it cut for doing his floor. He
will also get it kiln dried. Wonderful colors in old fir. I did my
living room trim in clear straight grain fir with an oil finish.

Wow - that's weird, at least around here it would be weird. We don't see
multiple heads on Hemlock around here. 130' is also a really good height.
Not sure how often you could find that kind of height around here - usually
more like 60' or so.

Sweet. I don't think we have any amount of DF around here anymore, let
alone stuff that big around. You can find hard maple around that is that
size or even bigger, but even that is getting hard to find. Nice to be able
to score that and mill it into what you want.

Here's one of them coming down.

Here's a picture of the stump from that tree. Took me 3 days to dig
it out and had to rent a bigger excavator in the end.

I'm in the foothills of W. Washington so there still some tall stuff.
The hemlock isn't worth hauling to the mill, and the Doug Fir is
pretty low right now that it's shocking when you go to buy it. I was
