Last year, I purchased a manual Arrow T50 Elite stapler/nailer, which appears to have been discontinued because it is not pictured on this site. After using it for only a few weeks, it quit stapling. I opened it up to check the mechanism and it appears that the plunger is no longer catching, thus unable to function as needed to drive the staples. Since I failed to keep the receipt, I'm not able to return it, thus, I'm stuck with a paperweight.
This week, I decided to go with an electric stapler due to the need to use it for multiple projects. I am pleased with the performance of this model and trust that it will continue to function as needed. This time I'm saving the receipt.
Had to buy a new stapler. I used a Stanley TRE300 for years and it finally blew its top (literally). This Arrow is sleek, works very well and hopefully will stand up just as long. Always a caveat. With the new improvements it weighs twice as much. (like carrying a dumb bell on the job) ...
Pros: General Repairs, insulation, Upholstery, screen replacement
This staple gun was perfect for putting together our schools parade float. It stapled into the word with ease. It was harder to use around the edge because the contact safety would not always engage since it wasn't always flat. Other than that is worked perfectly!
Had to take back my first staple gun since it quit feeding staples after about 5 total hours of use in the last week. I have a second one now and it is doing well
Pros: wedding wall construction
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had a very large project to tackle and didn't want to use my manual T50 for various reasons, one being hand fatigue. I purchased the T50ACD not knowing how it would work for my application. I was pleasantly surprised that this did the job with no problems. It has plenty of power. I would recommend this unit for anyone that has a lot of stapling to do.
