[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1568532, member: 24583"] I’m not opposed to the work. I just thought that it might save a lot of time. Freeman gun is listed for $349. Staples are $90/1000. Regular 2” staples, best I can tell, are around $40/1000. So that leaves $400 ($350/gun and $50/staples/per 1000) more for pneumatic. If a person could drive one staple, by hand, every 30 seconds for 8 hours, that would be 960 staples a day. And I’m pretty sure that ain’t happening. [b][u]Assuming one had 3000 staples to drive and the gun was twice as fast as hand driving[/u][/b], one would only have to realize $500 in time savings to break even and still have the gun to show for it. So if the hand driving was gonna take 10 days and labor is gonna cost $100/man/day..... you would break even by doing it in 5 days instead of 10. This is all hypothetical. But we do have a lot to do. Biggest questions are (1) are the guns twice as fast? and (2) do they do as good of a job as the old fashioned way? [/QUOTE]
