Jeremy M asked:
its for a mobile home with i think like 1″ floor boards, and the staples are narrow crown staples by aout 3/4 to 1″ in length, so what would I need for a air compressor as in minimum lbs of air, I was thinking a 100lb max compressor might do it, or do you think thats too small there are also some 125lb ones and a 150lb one, which would be the most suitable, would the 100lb work?….the flooring i believe is just press board….help!….and thanks ahead……I need Fast reliable answers…..lot of projects to do

I imagine one of those electric ones will do the job.
Speak to the guys at the hire service, they’ll know, and it may save you a bundle of money to hire on for the day.
a 100 lb one should do fine. when I was building houses we used a 150 but that was mostly for framing.
Some staple guns have a limit as to the psi 80-100 is plenty for most with a 1/2 inch staple. Electric works fine too. However I don’t recommend it , I recommend tack stip and a knee kicker instead. If you ever have to replace your carpet later it’s going to be very, very hard with stapels in it.
