would this be an appropriate compressor to use with an upholstery stapler? never used one before and need something simple

Sorry, not sure, I've never used an air stapler either - but I would certainly think so. A stapler could not possibly require much air volume. Just check the CFM requirement for the tool and compare that with the specifications for any compressor you are considering. PSI (pressure) is not important, CFM (flow rate) is the key.

The tank seems quite sufficient to supply air to smaller tools like a stapler, so I would say yes.

It is pretty noisy, but it only makes noise intermittently. The (relatively small) tank is pressurized by the compressor to something like 150 psi, then the compressor turns off till the tank pressure goes down (with use) to the set pressure, say 120 psi, then it turns on again to raise the tank pressure to 150. So if you're using the stapler heavily, the compressor will turn on frequently, but when you're not, it will be quiet. Overall. I think the unit is good quality.

I have only used it to blow debris and dust out of filters, etc., but I believe it would work. I have liked mine.

I think it would work as long as you don't require a large air volume to run the stapler. I use it to add air to the tires on my F-150 truck. It works well for that. It is easy to use, as well.

It actually would be overkill for a stapler. They usually take maybe 50psi so the max on this is a bit unnecessary. But it would work and you could set the output air pressure with the regulator.

It is a "GOOD" / "Great" stapler. But for 1/4" I would use smaller gage staples or be realistic and Glue down .Best I can do for you

It will certainly do the job, but you really don't need a compressor this powerful. A smaller one like the Senco PC 1010 would do just fine.

Yes but you will need a compressor big enough uses a lot of air I would suggest a belt sander though it will do the best

It could depending on how thick the upholstery material is. However, a longer staple, 3/8" or 1/2" would hold better especially 0n corners where you'd likely have multiple layers of material to staple through. Highly recommend a using pneumatic staple for better results.

Sorry Justine, don't know for sure. I run mine off a big factory compressor. Yours might work if your material you put through it is thin. I use mine to spray fabric glue, its pretty thick. It pretty much spatters it out, which works great for me.

The compressor has worked well with the pneumatic tools. I found it on sale later at Lowes.

I would like to try and answer this question but the question does not make sense. Are you asking about what kind of compressor you should buy to power the pin nailer?

That's exactly what I purchased this for, and it worked spectacularly. Had a cheap stapler before this one, and the cheap one regularly jammed and was a major PITA. I'm only a DIYer, but in the many (several thousand?) staples I've put in flooring, hanging insulation, installing trellis, and misc building projects I've not had a single jam. This is a _great_ stapler. I love using this stapler and am regularly finding new uses for it. Easy to use, the depth control works well, 1/4" stables are easy to find, hasn't jammed a single time(!!!). I suspect the rubber nose piece will need replacing eventually, but it's both light and seems to be very solidly built. That's exactly what I purchased this for, and it worked spectacularly.

I used mine for a nailer to nail down my hardwood floors. really good compressor for that - also use it to top up my car tyres on occasion!

If the stapler is truly leaking air you need to contact the manufacturer, however check for air leaks where air hose connects to the stapler. There should be a rubber o ring in the coupling that connects to the stapler. If this o ring is missing or out of alignment the air pressure will leak off and cause the air compressor to run more than necessary. I use the Surebonder 9615 for upholstery and am very happy with it.

I would say it would probably handle it but will probably be running steadily. The best thing to do would be to find out the CFM (cubic foot per minute) requirement of the sander and impact to see how this compressor compares. Mine has handled everything I've thrown at it.

Very dicey. A quick trip to Harbor Freight will get you a heavier compressor for not a lot of money. (I have the http://www.harborfreight.com/10-gal-25-hp-125-psi-oil-lube-air-compressor-61490.html )

This is a standard old fashioned no-frills staple gun like the type your dad might have had in his basement workroom. For a person of light build and medium to light stature it may be a challenge to use the stapler repeatedly and over a period of time. For me, I would say 10-20 staples and I would notice some hand fatigue. If you wanted to do something like upholstery where you would need to staple on a continuing basis, I'd look for a stapler with some sort of power assist.

I have one of those Porter Cable compressors I got for a brad nailer, and the Critter works fine with it. You won't need anything like 90 PSI, either. If you use too much pressure, the spray will be very dry and dusty.

I would think so, however, here's bad news. I bought this stapler and thought it was fabulous. And, it was, for about one hour. I sent it back for a full refund. In all fairness, I think it had been manhandled during shipping. Because it was in a hard case, it was not packed with buffering foam, etc. So, it worked great but for about one hour!

I doubt it - I had such terrible luck with that stapler model that I threw it away - it suddenly wouldn't staple anything. I bought a much heavier duty one that worked better.
