The Arrow T50ACD is good for light projects, the major problem is the Contact Safety It interferes when you are running a long run of staples. I was putting up plastic along windows etc. as I tried doing one staple after the other the staple gun would stop. I had to lift the staple gun wait a few seconds and start again. Also about 3-4 years ago I bought the same model and I did like projects with the gun similar to what I mentioned and about 2-3 projects a year. I went to use the gun and it wouldn't work. Resulting having to buy the new gun. I recommend it for light projects but you have to be patient if you try and do a long strip of staples the Contact Safety will stop the gun.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My T50ACD-4 Electric Stapler is smooth and dependable. I really like the versatility of 1/4”, 5/16”, 3/8”, and 1/2” staples. This versatility allows flexibility in my projects.
Pros: Crafting, General Repairs, insulation, Upholstery
I purchased the Arrow electric stapler T50ACD at Ace Hardware after an aggravating time using a standard (non-electric) stapler on a project. The Arrow stapler was very easy to load and use. It reminded me of my pneumatic brad nailer, another easy to use device. I bought 3/8 inch staples, but I plan to get shorter staples because I frequently build items out of hardwoods.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In a hurry I brought the first thing I saw, cheap staple gun & staples.Besides the fact I could barely squeeze the trigger the staples were crap literally only half went in & of those half most of them broke . I decided to go back & get the electric staple gun & it was only a few buck more then the first crappy one I bought & I can't believe how much I love that little thing. I've had it 2 months & already went back to buy more staple for all the things I have put off for years. I will 1 never get any brand I don't know about & I know Arrow has always been good & 2 I will never buy a manual staple gun ever ah\again in my lifetime Code1117

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After much deliberation over which electric power stapler to buy in order to attach cardboard protective corners to a wooden frame for a canvas print, I purchased the T50 ACD. After seeing in some reviews about lack of penetration of the staples into wood, I decided on the 3/8" staples, so that they wouldn't be too long. The instructions that came with the unit were not as helpful as they could have been, as to how to load the staples. I would suggest to the manufacturer to enlarge the diagrams with additional detail, which might help. At any rate, once I lined up where I wanted the staple to land, keeping the stapler at right angles to the surface, with my weight directly on top of the unit, after pulling the trigger, the staple thankfully fully penetrated the wood! My adult son has since used the unit, in order to attach a saw-toothed hanger onto another wooden canvas frame, and again the staple was deployed perfectly. Keep in mind that the staple will land slightly behind the tip of the stapler. Practice helps determine where to place the tip of the stapler, in order to have a perfectly positioned staple.
Conclusion: The stapler worked as promised and I am happy with it, but the instructions within the pocket-sized manual, could use more elaboration with enlarged and more detailed diagrams, for "first-timers!" I noticed that the manual has not been revised since 03/16, nine years ago, and yet I have seen other customer reviews referencing inadequate instructions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stapler is extremely well built. It has been exactly what I needed for any task that requires staples. From attaching canvas to frames, to upholstery repair. Love this staple gun.
