Just bought a new Hitachi compressor (double tank EC-12) and a new Paslode stapler. I go like crazy with the gun and the compressor keeps up to pressure no problem.

I like them Hitachi tools too.The guy I work with sometimes,he has a few Hitachi tools.Nice.

I've got a very noisy Stanley Bostitch 1.5 hp compressor which runs a Stanley Bostitch 1" crown stapler.Excellent stapler it is.Will drive them in as fast as I can hammer.

Hi Todd

We use them to fasten the sheets of lath to a wood floor.The lath is used in mortar beds on floors and even walls.On small jobs,a hammer stapler is all you need.
