Working nearby a air compressor is always a noise or hearing damage concern. Fortunately, upholstery staplers use very small amount of air (cubic feet per minute). The BeA Staple gun used in this video, (Model: 71/16 - 421) only uses .01 SCFM (Standard Cubic Foot per Minute or CFM for short). Using a compressor for upholstery only requires only a very air low draw and using a compressor with a large tank (for it's reserve capacity - before it needs to kick on again) is overkill, a small, compact and VERY quiet compressor can be used. A small decrease in dB is very significant! My recommendations for a quality built and extremely quiet is the Makita "Quiet Series" line of compressors. Plenty of air output for an individual or two people running staple guns. Please look into one of the 3 in the "Quiet Series" line of Makita compressors: Mac 100Q or the Mac 210Q (2.0 cfm @ 90psi) or the Mac 320Q all @ 60 Decibels. Compare tank sizes and CFM ratings @ 90psi for your needs. These compressors are very well built using quality parts, small and compact while being reliable and durable for years.
I have the Porter Cable pancake compressor you referred to, but of course, noise doesn't mean that much. When you worry it outside.. thanks, I'm learning upholstery

Im making some chairs with a woven leather seat. Do you think staples would be sufficient for attaching the leather strips to the chair frame? And are there specific staples that would best suit this job?
Revisa la lengueta o la pieza móvil que baja e introduce la grapa a la superficie. A veces esa pieza "sale" mucho de la engrapadora porque hay un empaque interno que ya tiene mucho desgaste y por eso sale mucho la punta de la lengueta. También puede que tú presión de aire sea demasiada y por eso aplica mucha fuerza al aplicar las grapas. Cualquier cosa que no sepas por favor aquí un mensaje. Tengo un taller de tapicerias en Tijuana Baja California México frontera con San Diego California USA. Cuidate

thank you
My pneumatic staple gun is frequently punching through the material. Are there any adjustments I can make to the gun or compressor to avoid this?
Check the instructions that came with it.
