Thank you MinUph, brmax, byhammerandhand and sofadoc for your reply.

MinUph and Brmax, I didn't consider the hand stapler or the electric one because I had read that it wouldn't really work for upholstery,
but if that is not the case, we will buy one (approx. $19 / $29 in HD) and if it doesn't work, then, we will buy the one to use with the compressor.

It is going to be fun, next, we will be shopping for fabric and foam and when we finish, we'll invite our relatives to seat in it!!

Thank you again.

Hello everyone:

Newbie to upholstery and to this forum.  My wife wants to redo an small, not too fancy, 5' sofa, she has never done it before,
but we think it would be fun and if it doesn't turn perfect, it is fine with us.

Some relatives have mentioned already that probably it would be cheaper and more practical to buy a new sofa, however, we prefer
to have the fun of her doing it; we don't want to expend too much money in tools and we were wondering if the tools we looked into
would be strong enough for this light job; probably, we won't be using some of them again.

Thank you in advance.
