[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do upholstery work and have been using a T50 and a smaller arrow version -powerless. I was looking for something which would speed up the job since I used the manual staplers for years. What I found was it fails to staple if not upright. The safety for proper seating before discharge means I have to make 3-4 attempts and then the stapler becomes confused and stalled. A job which might be 4 hours is taking 5-6 hours. It was so frustrating I found myself returning to the manual staplers. The retailer only stocks a larger version and this seemed a better size to manouve into tight spots. It is frustrating and I am looking to return it - unsure if the sensor is off or that is expected. It means lifting away from the project when you have to staple every 1/2 to 3/4 inches.
Pros: Upholstery
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there, we're so sorry you've been disappointed by your experience with the T50ACD Compact Electric Staple Gun.
You're correct that this tool does have a contact safety which must be fully depressed before the tool will fire. This means after each shot, you must pick up the front of the tool in order to reactivate the contact safety for each shot.
However, we'd like to touch base with you about the issues you've described directly to make sure we fully understand what you've encountered and to troubleshoot the issues you've had with being unable to staple if not upright.
We do stand behind this tool with a warranty, so thank you for giving us an opportunity to address this. Please look for an email from our team today!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall very pleased. Works easier than the manual one, but still has some of the vibration I was hoping it would alleviate.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I went shopping for a new staple gun for craft projects and because of the great price, I decided to try an electric staple gun instead of a manual gun that I previously had, and WOW! I love this staple gun. It is simple to use and has made all of my projects a lot easier.
