    Hi all, what's the tool that carpet fitters use for tacking ply down to uneven floorboards called?

    Its a hammer action but drives in a staple. Don't think its powered but not sure.

    Thanks.

    Hammer stapler or hammer tacker several names for it.

    Usually uses 5/16", 3/8" or 1/2" Arrow T-50 series staples.
