[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed to shoot about a 1000 staples and knew that my hand would not hold up to a manual stapler. I purchased the electric model and it made the job a lot easier and faster.
I have owned many different Arrow staplers and tackers from the hammer style to the venerable T-50. I needed something that was going to have the strike force of a "Whammer" hammer stapler with the ease of the old standby T50. The T50ACD fits the bill. I needed to be able to staple upholstery that was folded and would drive in flush. The T50ACD does that. Fits really nicely in the hand and either left or right is really easy to place and get the staple right where you need it. The only draw back on this unit was resetting the gun after a few staples. I would have to push the nose down into the project and it would "reload". Not a bad thing once you figure out the built in safety of the nose. After learning the units balance points and how it resets after firing, it was not an issue. Only thing after that was having to reload! This could use some refinement. The old T50 reloading is the standard that needs to be followed. You can do it one handed while the T50ACD required my having to use both hands to press the release button and then pull the slide out to drop in the next sleeve of staples.
