Yes, and yes.  You do sometimes need three hands though ... i tend to lean my leg against the tool to keep the tension whilst I use my hands to knock in the staple etc.

Thanks Foobar, it sounds like it would be ok with two people.

Use one similar for repairs only and fairly short lengths , designed to fit any part of the body to push and hold so your hands are free
