Only used to reupholster cat tower. Very thin carpet material. Feels good in hand. Easy to reload. Trigger safety hard to engage repetitively. 3 stars average without knowing how it preforms long term and in different uses.
Pros: Crafting, General Repairs, Upholstery
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello -
Thanks for posting a review of your staple gun. We're happy to hear that it worked well for your cat tower project -- and we hope you'll get much more use out of it. We hope too that you'll become more comfortable with the contact safety tip.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The manual stapler I was using to reupholster for personal use (brand X, not an Arrow) was getting hard to use - especially on my thumb muscle(s). I did not know that Arrow made a smaller version as the larger ones are usually on display at the big box lumber stores. I happened to see an ad for this smaller version which is lighter on my wrists and, so far, I am very happy with how it is working. Do to its size, I am not able to use it in really tight areas but can still use the manual to staple one or two staples into the tight corners. I have not tried 1/2" staples yet - only the 1/4" staples but I'm not expecting any problems. The action on this staple gun works great. The safety tip lets me know that I have firmly placed the gun for stapling.
I had a few shingles to replace on my storage shed. It made the job very easy to complete. I will be doing some opening and closing covering on a coach to make spring repair and use the staple gun to quickly reattach the covering
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Initially tried using my mechanical hand arrow stapler to put new leather on my atv seat and ergonomics wouldn't allow me to secure staples. Saw online someone using one of these and thought I would give it a try. Worked perfect and fit into all the weird areas to secure the seat.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed to tack commercial grade carpet to firring strips. I used 1/2 inch staples in T50ADC. The gun had to power to drive the staple into the carpet pile down to the backing without leaving the staple standing proud. Buying this gun was such a better decision than buying the spring loaded and only cost a few dollars more. This gun should not disappoint!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am using the stapler for recovering a piano stool. The ease of holding the staple gun is making the job easy. I am so excited that I purchased this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The T50ACD is great for recovering dining room chairs. As you can see they look professionally done in the attached photo.
