Just wondering what the best type of staple gun there is for putting stock fence up with, I’ve seen some over £1000 some for less than £50.
Any ideas?

Good honest reply!@Willie adie
I've got the stockade ones @ around £500 for compressed air gun and circa £1k for the gas gun.
Are they good? yes, gas one is a little heavy, they put staples in well which I'm happy will last the life of the fence. Staples are pricy especially 50mm's as you have to buy the gas ones.
Are the cheaper versions any worse?, I don't know. The people that use they don't have any complaints . They are a lot cheaper to buy and staples are half the price. If I didn't already own the stockade I would seriously consider the other brands, which I think are the same gun under different stickers (tejep, Montana, senco).
I don't mind paying the initial out lay for the stockade but expensive staples to go through it wind me up when other makes are half the price.
I use a bostitch gas nail gun which will do 90mm but it struggles to get them fully in.Use paslode 1st fix nail gun quite a bit, seem pretty good, I believe they make a staple gun. I can't comment on that tho, never seen one
Used to use all 40mm's but gone up to 50mm's now. Just for better holding especially on barb or single strand fences. No one has got time to knock the odd staple in if one has come out so why not try to stop them coming out to begin with.Good honest reply!
Is 50mm staple necessary? 40mm is biggest I use.
I find it depends a lot on the staples. Some 40mm have a good barb on them. Some don't have any.Used to use all 40mm's but gone up to 50mm's now.

With mine it depends on the brand of nails. One brand goes in perfectly. Another leaves 5 mm to finish by hammer.Yea, paslode will bang 90s in for fun

Best thing for knocking in staples, cheap and never fails and will knock a variety of different staples and nails.

I think if we used plastic posts we'd be smacked around the head by the not so silent silent partnerIf you'd ever used plastic fence posts you wouldn't say that! Trying to hammer staples into them is prone to lots of mashed fingers and copious swearing.....whereas a stapler does this as fast as you can pull the trigger:

Can you power them by a tractor with air or are they canister type things
