      I built a chicken fence this way.

      Hammer staplers are glorious but fucking difficult to get right!

      Whack whack whack whack fuck!!! Hit the fucking wire whack whack whack whack goddamnit whack whack whack

      To be entirely fair though I fucking love my hammer stapler and my complaints are entirely user error because hammer staplers are fucking amazing. So much better than hand-grip-activated staple guns.

      I’ve used tack nailers as well and they also rock the socks off. Any pneumatic or mecnical driven device, oh boy fun!

    This is why my couch broke after less than 6 months. There were, like, a hundred staples definitely not in the right place.

          Put it this way… mine also broke, within 6 mths of buying it, snapped a support bar on the bottom, and whenever anyone complains about shoddy furniture, it’s almost certain to be ashley.

          I’d never get another piece of furniture from them. Terrible build and material quality.

    The inspector allows a certain amount of misses

    I have much worse in one spot (that I can see) in my garage. No telling how bad it gets inside the walls. About halfway down from the top the staples appear and veer off in a curve to the bottom at which point they’re a good five inches off the target. It’s pretty funny.

    Also, just so everyone knows, those staples hold extremely well. They have an adhesive on them. They hold better than nails.

      And, a nut too, would be good.

      Looks like new construction and they just haven’t gotten around to putting the nuts and washers on yet. Houses get inspected for this and many other things before the drywall goes up.
