looking for a dedicated tool. I see lots out there but hoping someone that has used them can make a recommendation. Its hard enough to get them in the tight areas so I really need something that was designed for the job.

When I was a kid, my dad used one of those tools to attach seat covers in his car. He always referred to them as EEEEKKK! things, at least that was the "baby talk" he gave to the staples. I had forgotten all about them, until I saw this post.
