Best manual stapler for replacing carpet on bunks ?

[Earl Cordova]

What is the best manual stapler to use when replacing the carpet on the trailer bunks ?

Since I will be doing it in the parking lot by the ramp while the wife is out cruising the lake,
I am hoping that there is a manual stapler that has more power than the Arrow T50 that I have used for years.

I would suggest 3/4 inch roofing nails

I couldn’t get a manual stapler to work. I ended up using a pneumatic one.

^ That. But be sure to use SS staples. Not rocket science.

Make sure you use stainless steel staples. Another option is a 1/8 x 1” strip of aluminum cut and pre drilled to size to work around brackets and other hardware for a fast install at the ramp with a drill and stainless steel screws overlap the carpet and screw them down with the strip of aluminum
