Porter-Cable NS150B 1/2- to-1-1/2-Inch 18-Gauge Crown Stapler
I purchased this stapler to install a 28ft X 43ft plywood subfloor. The staples were spaced every 8 square inches and I used the 1 1/4″ staples.
It worked flawlessly. No misfires and every staple was properly counter sunk. Originally I thought that after this project, I would probably never use it again. But with the wide range of staples it accepts, I have begun to use it on smaller projects that I would have used my 16 guage P.C finish nailer.
For me it was a good investment>

I compared the two Porter-Cable 18-gauge crown staplers and chose this one because for $10 more had the capacity to fire 1- 1/2″ staples versus the 1-1/4″ capacity of the NS100B. It also has sequential fire option, that I tried and liked but have yet to use extensively. Overall, I was very impressed with this unit.
I was impressed that I was able to easily tack 3/4″ thick strapping that I was using for spacers in to 2X framing as well as a secure large quantity of 1/2 inch foam board without adjusting the staple depth once I set it.
A few other features I liked:
* Lightweight and well balanced, made it easy to maneuver overhead and in tight spots
* Easy to adjust staple penetration depth
* The hanger spins from side to side, so you can hang it on either side of your belt
* There is an easy to see red warning window tells you that your are almost out of staples
* The air exhaust is routed through the handle so it blows away from you and your work
On the negative side, to small nitpicks:
* I wish PC had included a small bottle of air tool oil in the case
* You have to position the hanger at just the right angle for the case to close
