Designed to fire staples and fasten together materials, a pneumatic air stapler significantly speeds up a worker’s job. We supply a wide range of upholstery staplers and framing staplers, which can be used with staples ranging from 3mm-160mm. These pneumatic staplers come in a variety of “types”, Type 14, Type 14/16, Type 17, Type 50, Type T50, Type 71, Type 80, Type 90, Type 92, Type 97, type A, type AT, type B, type C, type E, type F, type G, type K, type L, type M, type N, type O, type P, type Q, type S and type SP, designed to be used with the corresponding staples. A pneumatic stapler's "type" is determined by its crown and wire thickness (gauge). Our range includes narrow crown staplers, medium crown staplers and wide crown staplers, as well as fine wire staplers, medium wire staplers and heavy wire staplers. Our pneumatic staple gun range includes brands such as Ace & K, BeA, Fasco, KMR, MAX, Metabo HPT, Montana, Omer, Senco and Tacwise.
Air-powered staple guns are designed for fast, repeatable fastening in professional environments. They are commonly used in upholstery, furniture assembly, construction, flooring, and joinery, where speed and consistent staple depth are essential.
2. How do air staplers differ from electric or manual models?
Air staplers use compressed air rather than springs or motors, allowing for higher firing speed, reduced recoil, and less user fatigue. This makes them better suited to high-volume or all-day professional use.
3. Are pneumatic staple guns suitable for heavy-duty applications?
Yes, pneumatic staple guns are ideal for demanding heavy duty tasks such as securing insulation, sheathing, cabinetry, structural materials and more, provided the correct crown width, wire gauge, and staple length are used.
4. What should I look for in a pneumatic stapler for upholstery?
For upholstery work, look for a narrow crown or fine wire stapler with a long nose that delivers clean fastening without damaging fabric or frames. Adjustable depth control and lightweight construction are also important for precision work. A high capacity magazine stapler is also useful for extended use without reloading.
5. Is a pneumatic upholstery stapler suitable for continuous use?
Yes, these staplers are specifically designed for repetitive tasks on the job site. When properly lubricated and maintained, they provide reliable performance throughout long working sessions.
6. Do I need a specific compressor for an air compressor stapler?
Most pneumatic staplers operate between 70–120 PSI, so a standard workshop compressor with adequate CFM output is sufficient. Always ensure the compressor meets the stapler’s air consumption requirements.
7. Are there dedicated air staplers for upholstery?
Yes, upholstery-specific models are designed to work with fine wire staples and narrow crowns, offering secure fastening while minimising visible staple marks on fabric and soft materials.
8. How do I maintain a compressed air stapler?
Regular maintenance includes adding pneumatic tool oil to the air inlet, keeping the magazine clean, checking hoses and fittings for leaks, and disconnecting the air supply when the tool is not in use.
