Narrow crown fine wire stapler rental?

Does anyone know a source to rent or buy cheaply a fine wire stapler that's used for the staples in RVs for paneling? I have scoured the internet and found that a stapler for the size staples used for the luan paneling in our camper (3/16" crown 22 ga) runs about $200 (senco?). I have a compressor so that's not a problem, and it doesn't appear that anyone sells a manual version that I've found. The staples used in ours are 5/8" long.
  • Check ebay, that same Senco runs about $80 on ebay lightly used, other brands are available used for under $50
  • HF I actually have two I have used mine for all sort of things, including stapling chicken wire to the posts, paneling up etc. you can get different size and length staples.
  • Check Amazon, sometimes it's cheaper/easier to buy rather than rent a tool. Especially if you may use it in the future.
    I bought an inexpensive WEN brad nailer, it does a good job. I don't think they make staplers.

    I have a Senco framing nailer. It worked great but, not very long. :(
  • x3 on Harbor Freight or some of the Chinese staplers on Amazon. You can rent one but usually the rental price is more than the cost of a cheap stapler.
  • I have the Harbor Freight and it has performed flawlessly, unlike some of my purchases there.
  • 1 Cheap: Harbor Freight maybe.
    2 Rent, don't you have a equipment rental business near you? We have several included one called united rental which maybe national in scope
    3 Use something else: use torx head screws and sink the heads below the surface.
    4 Check Amazon: Hitachi. My one experience with Senco did not leave me impressed.
