Also, what size of staples should I get for reupholstering furniture? Or putting new sisal on a cat tree?

Depending on the thickness of fabric and area of furniture you are using at. 3/8" length for general use. 1/4" length for thin fabric, and thin wood base that the staple does not penetrate though the wood frame. 1/2" length staple for very thick fabric.

1/2 should be adequate. I would perform a test to determine the right amount of air pressure so that the staples do not over penetrate the wood ripping the fabric along with it.

I would buy midium size soft claws if your cat is mid to large size which is my cat but for a small size cat I would buy small size soft claws.

I used it to reupholster 6 dinning room chair seats and it jammed several times and did not completely sink the staple 50% of the time. I ended up using my old mechanical stapler with much better results. Might do well on soft pine, this was wood composite.

Host dry cleaner works very well, but I have never tried it on sisal before. Hope fully it will work for you>

It ONLY takes the Duo-Fast Gold Crown 20 Gauge staples 3/16" wide and 9/15" in length. You will also need to order them online. I went to many stores in my area and no one carries them. Otherwise, it is a good stapler.

you need the large. My daughter's cat's weigh around 10 pounds and use the large; it is easier to put them on after trimming the cat's nails and the glue holds better with a larger surface to glue.

I have 10 indoor cats, some just as heavy as yours, sometimes there are at least 3 on the tree at one time, have not had a problem with it so far , the posts sometimes need tightening as they do loosen some, my problem is trying to contact Kitty Mansions to order new sisal posts as my cats shred the posts fairly quickly, other than that it is a good buy.

HI!! I have not had to buy rope for my cat tree yet, but I will soon need to. I would like to know where you bought yours? Sorry i could not be more help..:(

Yes you can use 1/4 and 3/8 inch staples made by Bostich. Avoid the Staples brand of staples because the wire is narrower and prone to jams.

Go to "go pet club. com" and they have a phone number and email address to contact them. They won't take orders for replacement parts by phone, but they will very politely tell you they will email you a diagram of your tree with all the pieces labeled, and you shoot them back an email telling them which pieces you need. And the posts I needed for this tree was $10/each. I needed new posts, because the sisal was coming unwound from all the scratching my four cats do.

This stapler uses industry standard 1/4" staples available in various lengths. You can buy th online, or at most construction related retailers such as Lowes or Home Depot.

I bought the 1 1/4" Senco Staples. Here's the link on Amazon: Senco L15BAB 18 Gauge by 1/4-inch Crown by 1-1/4-inch Length Electro Galvanized Staples (5,000 per box) . They worked great on 1/2" engineered wood floor on 3/4" osb sub floor. Not a single jam in the 3000+ used.

I usually staple 4-5 pieces at a time but I originally bought this to use for stapling batting when upholstering.

I use Quill Standard Staples, chisel point. It takes a complete set from a box about 4 inches long.

Your 15.5 gauge staples will work but remember it has to be 1/2 in width too.

This is a great tool. I used it for putting on hundreds of planks for a fence. That said, in my opinion, I don't think it would be good for reupholstering. I would look for something with a wider staple. This one is very narrow.

It uses regular size staples. However, I could not get it to staple 20 pages... it stapled about 12 pages, maximum. I found this stapler absolutely useless and returned it. I would NOT recommend this stapler to anyone.
