Given the low price of this unit, I didn't have high expectations. I have about 350 feet of west rail fence that I want to attach wire fencing to. I got about 50 feet today and I have to say this device works great. I use 7/8 inch staples (the largest staples this machine accepts). They are easy to load and with my compressor's 75psi pressure I get the perfect stapling depth. If that's enough for the whole job, it'll cost less than $100.
