PC Crown Stapler

The narrow crown stapler is pretty useful little tool, seems like I am always finding a new use for this little device, and would be a good addition to anyone’s air tool collection. Primarily I have used the PC crown Stapler for putting screen doors together, fastening chicken wire, holding cedar shakes in place when leveling floors, repairing cabinetry/countertops, attaching ply backing, and metal lathe for stone work. I’ve used this tool for many tasks and for countless hours, and only had jams when using the tool overhead, Jams are easily cleared with the tool less jam release lever. The issue can be somewhat remedied by using a 1 inch fastener for applications overhead, that’s what work for me, overall it's a minor issue.
The PC NS100 is very lightweight and well balanced; it is comfortable and features a nice molded non-slip grip. Loading is pretty straight forward, just pull back the lever and drop the staples in from the top. Firing is standard single shot,bump is available, but requires a phone call to PC and they will send it free of charge. The stapler also features a non marring nose tip that comes in handy when doing finishing work that needs to be protected. Like many PC air tools, this stapler also features a directional exhaust port.
Overall I am extremely please with this tool and would recommend it to anyone, it requires very little maintenance, it is reliable and extremely useful for all sorts of projects. The great thing is, it can be found pretty cheaply for 30 bucks as a reconditioned product.

Pros
Well balanced, lightweight, toolless jam release

slight issue when using overhead
