of an electric stapler seem appealing, but in all honesty, it isn't that big a
deal. Instead of squeezing the stapler, I use my whole body and sort of lean
into it to push the lever down. 1/2" staples (I don't know how many thousand,
but a lot) go in easy - especially if you avoid the knots in the 2x studs...
This has been the insulator’s weapon of choice for the 38 years I have been in
the industry:

There are many version of this tool, some more durable than this one, but for
you one-building job, this one is lightweight and sturdy enough. Squeezing a
stapler for 3 days is about the least desirable thing I can think of (besides 2
simultaneous broken legs).
