I recently got this to do an upholstery job. I have several of the hand staplers but doing six cushions I figured I would need this. It shoots the T-50 Arrow staples. It’s very light with a good punch. It cost $49. at Home Depot.

Very handy. (edit ) you're talking "staple and I'm talking nail gun. Two different animals. Kinda.
I had gotten one from Harbor Freight that does staples and brad nail of various lengths . Works good but you have to be careful on air pressure leaving ugly dimples. Definitely want to set them up on a scrap piece first..

Bill Dewalt had a nice staple/brad nailer that would be good for some. Since I have all the nailers I’ll ever need I just couldn’t justify a combo tool. These chairs had MDF chair bottoms vs plywood. I was concerned about this gun shooting into that since it’s much harder than plywood. It done a nice job. It also has bump feature for fast stapling.
 
I have a Milwaukee pneumatic stapler,
Does great at driving one thru your thumb when holding pieces close together to staple...

Also have a paslode tape- nail gun (also powered by air- this one does either 8 or 10-penny nails) , and just today I went to an auction and came away with a brand new Milwaukee 18v brad nailer. For the price I paid I couldn't pass it up. The ringman held up 2 of them identical, "choice out". Bidding started at $50 and the first one got to $125 pretty quick and stalled out. Winner only took 1. So they ran the 2nd one. I was the winner for only $80. Pretty cheap I believe genuine Milwaukee too.
I've been to auctions before when the winner only takes one of a "choice out" and the auctioneer asks "anyone else at that price"? before they run the item again. Not this guy. Every time he did a choice out and the winner announced how many of the choices lots they want, if any were left he "ran" them again, starting all over with the bidding.

I have one of them too, Bill. Think I paid around 15 bucks for it with a 20% off coupon. Used the heck out of it hanging the ceiling in my shop and a few other odd jobs. Definitely not a finish quality nailer but it works ok for the rough crap I build.

Wife was doing something and needed a staple gun. Mine was to hard for her to operate so I picked her up a 110v one. She really liked it and it did a nice job. It's out in my shop now and I plan on doing the door panels for JB with it. And no I can't remember who made it (I think Arrow) but if you don't have air available an electric might be an option.
 
I'm thinking that I may pressure up the air tank and use that HF brad nailer to sick a few pieces of trim down in a closet. Don't have an electric one. Might be a lot easier to just use a few finish nails and an actual hammer to do it though---LOL!
