Davidshutlerlandscapes Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Evening all. So i ha e just finished a post and rail job with stock fencing atatched 200 meters 3 nails on each post and 3 nails on the rails in each 6 ft section. A whole **** load of nails and hammering. I have just taken on another job exactly the same and have decided to buy a air stapler My prefered choice would be the Paslode im200s16 as its cordless but im mot prepared to pay £900 for one and it would be a pain having to keep on buying the gas canisters. So i have deciced to get a compressor powered one. Anyone here got any recomendations on what to go for. I have seen a couple out there but havnt actully tried one. Cheers all in advance. Hope some of you have some handy tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringfencing Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi there we bought a gun and nails from ramfast ltd very good the gun is a bostoch and takes up to a5 inch nail it's taken us 18 years to get one but brilliant now especially for creo timber but would go for the stockade staple gun from tornado . Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidshutlerlandscapes Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Cheers. We already have a normal nailer a paslode im350 that will take upto 90mm nails that we use for attatching rails ect. So its only a stapler we are looking for. Unfortunately the stockade seems very expensive for a compressor powered nail gun. Cheers tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringfencing Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi again ram fast did offer an air stapler as well I think the staple size was smaller than the stockade and I can't remember the price but could be worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi have a ram fast stapler I am very pleased with it .i do all netting in chestnut and as chestnut tends to split when weathering you may think the staples may pope out . But going back to 5 years ago the hold on the staples are 100% and you can tug on the wire and they don't budge. As the staple is driven it twists which I think gives it the great hold ability . And the staples work out cheaper to . For the nailer Stanley bostich the larger nailer up to 5" ringed nails or 100mm - 110mm . Very quick and comfortable to use .

Ford6700 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Iv had the Ramfast staples pull out of creosote timber when stock has been both sides of the fence . They don't hold as well as the stockade . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbell Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 we have a prototype Pasload marked up as Ramfast stapler but we are struggling to get gas for it as they don't do the canisters i need over here, The staples are only 40x3.15 and look a little light so we staple with hammer and tornado's barbed staples on all the high and low bits setting the whole fence up ready then rattle the rest off with the gun You may have heard that we had a drop of rain back on December the 5th and one of our fences went down stream a bit, nearly 500m of it, the staples held, it dragged the whole fence was ripped out with the wire snapping near the box strainer at the upstream end. no picks as it was dark when i saw it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
