I'm pretty happy with the stapler purchase. Very happy with all my P/C nailers and staplers Very difficult to get staples for this or any medium or large crown stapler. However, gun works great.
I purchased coated staples and the material tears apart before the staples move. I'm very pleased with both purchases. I purchased the PC stapler and siding attachment from Amazon. So far I've used the stapler for OSB sheathing, 3/4" Ply shelving, and vinyl siding. As another rater stated, the siding attachment does take a little training to use properly but does work well. I've had one jam which I was able to easily clear and normally use single shot mode.
Even when the staple hit screwheads inside the wood it just mashed the staple on out and did not jam. Very solid well build tool. Could not be happier with this stapler. And cheapest stapler that will handle 2 inch staples. 4000 staples, but never had 1 jam. The ease ( and toolless also) change from single trigger pull to bump staple'n is great. and air ex.
It's easy on air, have only used appox. The toolless depth adj. With everything figured in I dont see how you can get a better 1 to 2 inch stapler or one that is cheaper. direction is great and never had to try the toolless unjamming deal.
When working with vinyl, it has a bit of a learning curve and it take a little bit of work to get your depth and aim correct. I would strongly recommend you adding a medium crown stapler to your collection. It was great for installing shelving, sheathing, and working with plywood. I originally bought it to install vinyl siding on a 1000 SF workshop. I already own a framing gun, finish gun, roofing gun, and a narrow crown stapler, so why did I need another gun.
It will drive a 2" staple with ease. Well. Once you get it dialed in - the stapler with the vinyl nose is a time saver for sure. You will find yourself reaching for it more often than you would believe. Since then, I have found that it really fills a gap where you need something more substantial than a finish nail, but a framing nail is too much.
Unit comes with storage case. If you want a decent gun for an affordable price the Porter Cable is a good one. Easy to load and shoots common staple sizes. We use 2 of these guns on a regular basis and have had no problems other then the occisioanl vapor lock which is easily fixed by removing air line momentarily.
