Anyone ever try a Roberts electric tacker? Amazon has them for $94. With Duofast out of business, just wondering what is next best?
I have a Crain somewhere and it was really weak compared to Duofast.
 
I have two duofast, one old and one newer model. I still like the older one as it has more power.
 
Will sell you one of mine. Ill get pics for ya to look at. I hardly ever use them
 
Craftsman made a really good rechargeable that used the same staples but discontinued it. Wonder if the Ryobi or Makita 18v are any good? A lot of the old houses and mobile homes around here will kick breakers when using the Duofast. I could use a good one for other projects too.
 
How about that little pnuematic? It fits up under nosing really easy and plenty of power. A friend has one and I used it. I fell in love immediately but didn't spring for it. Drawback: You need a compressor.

I don't want to drag in my compressor. In some of the old houses around here and some of the mobile homes, a compressor or electric tacker trips the breakers.
