Good basic stapler but needs work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This electric stapler is much better and smaller than the old red huge electric staplers of years past. It does a good basic job of putting a stapler in a piece of wood. My main complaint is that, like everything else, it's designed with a safety feature to protect you from hurting yourself. The tool will not staple unless you press firmly at a perfectly parallel angle to the piece of wood you are stapling. It will not allow you to staple at any angle. At least I couldn't figure any way to do this. I was stapling screens to a pavilion roof truss. It was close work and the trusses were at angles. I was unable to fasten the screens to the ends of the trusses as the safety feature (plunger) wouldn't push in when trying to staple the screen at an angle.
Pros: General Repairs, Roofing, Upholstery
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey there, we are sorry you've been disappointed by your experience with the T50ACD Compact Electric Staple Gun.
You are correct that this tool has a contact safety that needs to be fully depressed before the staple gun will fire. All of our products that contain a contact safety meet industry recognized UL standards, but our products are tested internally and by end users for functionality to make sure they meet the needs of the end user. While engaging the safety is typically more a matter of positioning versus force, we do understand that it can be challenging to do so when stapling on an angle.
Depending on the positioning of staples, though, you may be able to better use this tool in an inverted position for your current project. We'd also be happy to chat with you further about this to see if there are any other possible solutions. Feel free to give our repair department at call at 800-776-2228, ext. 208, if you're interested.
Thank you again for your detailed feedback. We will pass it along to our product managers and engineers!
This stapler has allot of power! I used it to staple marine vinyl into 3/4 inch pressure treated plywood using 3/8 inch staples. It worked like a charm. I strongly recommend it over the other brands.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This electric stapler is easy to use (much easier than my old manual type) and works very well attaching painting canvases to frames. No more arm fatigue!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a stapler and in the middle of a job it jammed for the last time!! I could not get it to pop back out, took it apart and parts fell out, and it fell in the trash can! I went to Lowe's and read the reviews on their website on the T50ACD. I finished my job in record speed because this bad boy and pump out the staples. No sore hands, no kick back from the spring on my old manual stapler. For Design I chose Good only because I notice that the area where you hold the gun can get a little warm, in fact I put on a glove because I thought it got a bit to warm but I was pumping out the staples and completed my task in record speed. It is easy to load and uses the most popular size staples available.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this gun. I used it to reupholster some chairs and it was very easy to use and worked very well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this to reupholster some patio furniture. It was perfect for the job. Lightweight and comfortable to handle. Wish I had ditched my manual stapler years ago.
