[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was working on an insulation project using an old electric staple gun and it kept jamming up and was hard to load which led to a lot of frustration. I was fed up with it and went to my local hardware store and picked up this Arrow T50ACD. It worked flawlessly and I was able to complete project with a lot less frustration. Great design since it never jammed up and was easy to load.
project went well, i started the project with a manual staple gun, and purchasing this electric stapler was a game changer, got the job done in less time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first powered stapler. I had a picture to mount in my motorhome. I could not hang it on a hook on the wall and I did not want to drive holes in the wall as well. I wanted to use 3M command strips, but this adhesive backing on the command strips did not stick securely enough to the frame. So, as an alternative, I covered the backside of the Frame with 3/4" Velcro adhesive tape and stapled the Velcro to the frame with 3/8" T50 staples. The stapes needed to be flush with the Velcro surface so that I could attach the command strips to the Velcro fabric, This stapler worked flawlessly. I fired a total of 60 staples without a single jam, and each staple fired achived full depth, not one miss in the bunch. I could not have achived the desired result without the use of this tool.
I went back to my hand crippling manual stapler after usung T50ACD for five minutes. Tedius and frustrating. There is a safety mechanism on the mouth of the stapler - if not aligned perfectly and depressed flush with a flat surface, it will not fire. I was repositioning 5 - 7 times for each staple. And , there is no indicator - no light or beep that let’s you know it’s lined up right. There isn’t even a light to show it’s on. Very frustrating and impractical if using on anything other than a wide open, perfectly flat surface. 2 stars because it has good power and sinks the staples in well when you can get it to shoot.
Pros: Upholstery
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
