I had a cheap staple gun we've been using for years (and years) that worked okay for light duty stuff. It finally kicked the bucket and was spitting staples like they were going out of style.... so we read the reviews and purchased this model.Let me say, this staple gun is impressive. It will staple brads, staples, has a nice little guard on it for affixing cable without crunching it, and it has variable power for more challenging jobs. I wish I had gotten it earlier in my project, once I got this staple gun, I didn't have to waste time pulling out half-depth staples, buckled staples, etc.The nose is flat and very close to the staple dispenser, which allows you to get very close to corners - that works well on projects of many varieties when you need to have precision staples to hold materials into corners. There is a gauge that shows you what size of staples you currently have loaded.My hands are much smaller than my husband's, but I didn't have any problems pushing the trigger bar down. It has a safety catch to lock the stapler and prevent accidental misfires, and loading staples and brads is a cinch. While it's not overly heavy, it has a sturdy feel and will last us for many, many years to come, and also has a great warranty on it. Stanley stands behind their products!

Bought this with some websites feedback it does a good job and seriously could be the best stapler I’ve used. Judging it by its ease of use, lack of jamming and metal body I’ve dropped from 15 ft up on a ladder and it didn’t miss a beat… I’ll say it’s a keeper. Edit, I’ve now had 5000 staples thru it building a garage/shop, it’s still awesome and works great.

My hands aren't as nimble and strong as they once were, but I've reupholstered many chairs and so handy with a stapler.Couldn't find my old stapler, so ordered a new one. It does brad nails too, so thought that would be nice to have.It does have a little kick to it when doing a chair upholstery job. But, I do like the features on it and it handles well. Comfortable in my hand. And all manual staplers - even my old one - have a kick to them.Nice product and does the job.

I originally purchased a Dritz 'Heavy Duty' staple gun at Michaels craft store to re-upholster our dining room chairs. On the first chair, the staples kept getting jammed and twisted, so I packed it back up and returned it. The same day I ordered this tool, and what a difference. I ordered the Stanley TRA700BN Heavy-Duty Staple & Brad Assortment pack with it, and you can tell right away the difference between the Dritz and Stanley definitions of 'heavy duty'. The Stanley staples are noticeably thicker and sturdier.I did one chair with the Stanley tool, and it was like night and day. I don't know if you're a tool kind of person like me, but when I pay a very reasonable fee for a tool that is simply perfect for the job at hand, I am very satisfied. This unit is clearly labeled with the types of staples and brads it accepts, has a tension adjuster, clearly indicates on the unit how to load the brads, and is pretty easy to load.I've seen other units for twice the price, but I just don't see how anything can work better than this. Skip the craft store staple guns and get a tool that gets the job done.

No issues, I was able to drive plenty of 1/2" staples into PT 2x4s and they all went flush or slightly below. Probably the best manual stapler I've used so far.

I've been using this for putting together some chicken wire around some plants to protect them from rabbits and other pests. I use the staple gun to secure the wire fencing to some wooden stakes and then fixing the stakes into the dirt to form a perimeter about 2 foot in diameter. It pushes the staples in pretty well, however if the staple hits a knot in the wood, it doesn't seem to have the power to drive through it and will easily fall off. The staple gun requires a decent effort to push the handle-lever so that you don't accidentally fire a staple at an unintended target, however this can tire out your hand depending on the length of your stapling project. My next project is to string up some lights on my back porch which means driving the staples into some plywood, but I don't anticipate this to be any more difficult than mounting the chicken wire. The device feels well put together and very sturdy, and I expect it will be handy for years to come!

I bought this staple gun to staple screen around one bedroom window so I can keep bugs out. Really simple, I like open windows when weather permits. This gun works just fine. It has 2 strengths, the lesser is fine to staple screen to my siding, the idiot who screened the window originally used a gun so powerful it drove the brad straight through the screen and 1/16" into the wood; the screen was flapping around the next day, and of course the brads are a barrel of laughs getting out of the frame. So much for the $25 an hour experts. I've also used it to staple fabric over windows for quick enclosures, stapled my kids' pics to their bedroom walls, works great. It's simple to use, does the job, and is priced right. Why is it so hard to find simple tools that work ? I don't know, but this one does just fine.

Stupid, stupid stapler that although it has a cable guide you cant use rounded cable staples with it and it doesnt let you use normal staples at all so you have to buy heavy duty staples. This sounds easy but if you search on amazon or anywhere for TR250 staples there arent any, if you search for heavy duty staples then they all mention other models of Stanley Staplers not the TR250 so I've had to gamble that the ones i've bought will fit as none of my existing staples will.The stapler took absolutely ages to arrive otherwise I would have sent it back but it does seem well made and has some nice features such as the adjustable depth and staple load guide.

Es para trabajos de hobista los fines de semana o para trabajos profesionales no pesados, acepta la mayoria de las grapas y se siente bien construido, en resumen es un muy buen producto ampliamente recomendado.

I purchased this stapler primarily to bring to the rifle range to hang up targets. It's capable of penetrating old hardwood, plywood, MDF and particle board. I've shot around 200 staples through this without a single jam. The action is very easy but can still penetrate fully to make sure you don't have any hangover (if you're hanging Lumex or other cables).The staple gun itself is very lightweight hardened plastic. It weighs a little over 1lbs. It shoots a variety of different staples and nails, including Stanley SharpShooter TRA700 series or Arrow T-50 heavy duty narrow crown staples and 1/2-Inch, 9/16-Inch and 5/8-Inch Brads.It's a great staple gun. It's been dropped several times ranging from 10 feet and lower, onto soil and concrete, and it still looks like the day I bought it. It's a great purchase, and a great price for this quality staple gun.

La Relación calidad-precio no es excelente pero la encontré con un descuento modesto y por ello la compre; tiene pequeño ajuste para aplicar aun mas presión (de uso pesado según dice); y al momento usarla para tapizar nuevamente sillas de MADERA con tela y esponja, funciono excelente. Usando las grapas de tamaño y grosor adecuando para esta tarea puede terminarla satisfactoriamente; he usado engrapadoras electrónicas inalámbricas de otras marcas (MIL...) y debo decir que la calidad del trabajo es similar, solo tener en mente que las engrapadoras inalámbricas son mas caras pero más cómodas si vas a engrapar continuamente por mas de 3 hrs., pero ejemplo.
