I would like to add a pneumatic stapler to my arsenal. I don't need to use it a ton but would be nice to have when I need it. Grizzly has a basic, 18g 1/4" stapler that shoots up to 1 1/2" staples for $30 plus S+H.
I already have a PC brad nailer that shoots up to 1 1/4" brads, which works fine for 90%+ of what I do, but every once in a while it would be nice to have a 2" nailer. Grizzly has a nailer/stapler combo that shoots up to 2" brads as well as 1 1/2" staples (same as the stapler alone) for $30 plus S+H.
So my question is this- will the combo unit be less reliable/durable/etc than the dedicated stapler. how different are the mechanisms to make one unit a combo. I'm leaning towards just getting the stapler but I really can't justify buying another brad nailer just for that extra depth.
I know I'm not talking about huge expensive purchases here, but my budget is tight and I can get one of these for father's day.
