My wife had a project where she wanted to make a cushion for a bench.
Figuring out what she had in mind I decided to go to harbor freight and
take advantage of the sale on a 1/4 inch narrow crown stapler they had
on sale for $20 that was advertised to shoot 3/8ths inch long staples.
She had planned on using her cheep electric stapler.
Not suprising they did not carry the 3/8ths staples but the gun came
with 1/2 so we made do and it worked great except we had to add an extra
layer of plywood to the frame.
Now for my question.....
Does anyone sell 3/8 inch narrow crown staples? I've noticed other
manufactures claiming to shoot them but I can't find them anywhere.

I don't know about the availability of 3/8" long 1/4" crown staples,
but a few times a year HF puts a 1/2" crown stapler on sale for $20.
The 3/8" long staples are readily available in this size, in fact they
are the same as a Stanley hand operated staple gun and a few others,
though unfortunately not the same as the Arrow T50.

Good choice getting the HF 1/4" pneumatic instead. I've found
mine handy for everything but nailing overglued trim strips onto
semi-fine furniture smeared with stain and poly. (IOW, no Nahm
Period Pieces.) <Nomex=ON> ;)
