A time saver but needs a couple refinements

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to use when installing some Armstrong 1132G ceiling tiles to pine furring strips on a couple of bedroom ceilings. I needed to put 420 pcs and using my trusty old T50 manual stapler was going to be tiring.
The T50ACD did the job but wasn't consistent in driving the staples which sometimes required a hammer and punch to set them flush. You can hear the driving mechanism as it fires each time and tell when a staple will be driven flush or when it comes up short.The "Spiral-Drive Technology" needs some fine tuning to be more consistent.
Another issue is with the rubber overmold on the nose of the stapler. With an old manual T50 you can drive a staple very close to the edge of something because the nose of the stapler is metal. This works well and allows one to place a staple in the middle of the narrow (3/8"-1/2" wide) flange of the ceiling tile. The T50ACD has a thicker plastic housing along with an approximately 1/8" thick rubber overmold on the nose and that prevented me from placing a staple on the flange of the tile. I was about to return the T50ACD and find another electric stapler when I realized I could trim the rubber overmold on the stapler nose back a bit and get the staples up onto the ceiling tile flange.
Pros: ceiling tile

Did the job! Easy to use for women only households.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this at Lowe's in order to recover a chair. This made the job so easy that I went around the house looking for somethng else I could recover. When one no longer has the strength to use a hand stapler, this is the perfect tool. It does all the work for you. Very happy with the purchase and will be looking to see what other projects it can tackle.
Pros: Upholstery
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good tool for home use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this product because I needed a stapler that would be strong enough for upholstery (outdoor furniture) and insulation (Kraft faced) installation. It was comfortable (padded grip) to use, easy to load and handled the tasks without problems. The on/off switch located near the loading point was an extra added safety feature.
I would recommend this product for the do-it-yourself home owner as well as professional contractors.
Pros: insulation, Upholstery
I would recommend this to a friend!

Kind of heavy and not consistent when stapling.

Posted by: Karen48
from California, USA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this item because I needed a tool that I could use for upholstery. Was not very satisfied when the staples would not go into the wood completely and had to use a hammer to pound down staple rest of way. Also, heavy and not easy to use.
Pros: Upholstery
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, Karen. We're sorry you were disappointed by your experience with Arrow's T50ACD Compact Electric Staple Gun. Two tips often help when trying to drive the staples flush to the surface. First, choose the shortest staple possible for the project materials. This is especially important when firing into a hard wood, like plywood or MDF. Second, placing one hand on the top of the tool while firing can also increase penetration. In regards to the weight of the tool, the T50ACD was designed within the average 2.3-4 lb. weight of professional electric tools, but at 3 lbs., it may be heavier than some other staple guns. However, we'd like to touch base with you directly to learn more about the experience you had with our tool and to troubleshoot further. Look for an email from us today!
