Marcus,
I use a Staple tool that works with only one hand. If you would use a hammer and tacks you would need a magnetic hammer.
I bought a canvas pliers, but it broke, so now I use my fingers again like I used to.
To wrap the canvas all around the stretchers I place the canvas upside down on a table and use both my thumbs to add pressure from the front side of the canvas, and when it is tight I hold it with the one hand and staples, first on the edge and later on the excess.

Hope this was helpful, Allan
