Barndominium/Shop or "real" House?

I think you'd be fine. I get mine into spaces much tighter than that.

Like I said, it's an option if your T50's aren't working out. But if you're happy with the T50's and aren't looking for an excuse to buy another tool, then stick with what you've got!

One big advantage of the pneumatics is hand fatigue. I've squeezed off a lot of T50 staples, and I usually start to get blisters in the webbing between thumb and index finger, after awhile. The pneumatic stapler is a light single-trigger pull.

This is the stapler I am currently using: 2447-20 So no real fatigue from using that.

When I bought it I was debating between that and the 1/4" crown version, which is twice the price...

That looks nice! All of my T50 and #60x staplers are hand-powered, and they work great for smaller jobs, but get old fast on larger jobs. I also have a hammer stapler, but they're usually more trouble than they're worth.

But I have two 18-gauge pneumatic staplers that I use a lot for things like building crates and fixtures. I use them whenever possible, but mine are compressor-driven, so best for in the shop or places where I can easily haul a pancake compressor.

I have that same Milwaukee 12V stapler. It works really well.

The stainless staples don't fold over as easy, but they also are not driven in 100%.

I guess I need to stick to the 3/8" long chisel point staples. Wish I could find some of 1/2" long with chisel points...
