I had issues driving 1/2 inch staples in wood while installing insulation, so I switched to 1/4 inch staples. And with the 1/4 inch staples, it would skip a staple every other shot, and would shoot 2 the next shot. Both brand of staples are Arrow T50, 504 and 508.
Pros: insulation, Upholstery
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello -
We're sorry to hear that you've had problems with your stapler. Be sure you're firmly pressing the contact safety against the surface when firing. Here's a link to the manual with more operating instructions and troubleshooting tips: https://bit.ly/t50acd-manual.
Here is a link to our staple guide as well, which suggests the staple lengths for different types of substrate: https://bit.ly/3fJdrRS.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used our t150ACD to reupholster our antique dining room chairs. Its compact size made it very easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] High quality and easy to use tool. I’ve had a manual Arrow stapler for years but being a senior citizen, I don’t have the hand strength to use a manual stapler for any length I’d time. That’s why I bought this electric stapler. I’ll use it around the house for projects.
I bought the stapler last year. I previously had a spring type Arrow stapler that lasted over 25 years and that experience was key to me buying this electric one. Just today I decided to use it for the first time to install bird netting. I filled it with a row of T50 staples but before one third of the row was used, the stapler quit working. There wasn't a jammed staple. I checked the extension cord and plugged the stapler directly into several sockets, but it remained dead. As a last resort, I decided to take the housing apart hoping I'd see something obvious. What I found was the gear housing had come away from the motor. It looked like a simple fix and after reattaching the gear housing and reassembling the whole thing, it still doesn't work. Now I'm faced with getting another stapler so I can finish what I started. Disappointing.
Pros: bird netting
