I used this to upholster 6 chair cushions. I am a female who had both hands operated on in the last six months. This worked well. It was easy to use and comfortable to hold. I don't love all the plastic parts and think the quality would be better if there was less plastic...especially where the staples are loaded...it's such an often used part and seems to be the first to go on these things even in the all metal staplers....which is exactly why I had to buy this one in the first place. Overall I am happy and time will tell on the plastic parts.
I have used Arrow staple products the majority of my adult life, but after receiving an electric stapler/nailer I thought I'd give it a try, so I gave my old stapler to my son. Well, as it turns out, the electric tool played out after awhile and I decided to go back to the manual. However, at 69, I have gained some wisdom along with arthritis, so I purchased this because of the comfort and ease of use. It's good to have an old friend back. Code: 1024

Hi there: Thank you for your review on the T50HS. I am glad that you found that you can use this Stapler with such ease. We thank you for being such a loyal Arrow Fastener customer and really appreciate you as a customer.
I have had a T50 for over 50 years. Now that I am 73, the Powershot is so much easier to use with the same quality and great design as the original T50.

Hi there: Thank you for your positive review on the T50. This particular Stapler has been in the Arrow line since 1957. It is a great favorite with many of our customers . We thank you for being a loyal customer.
I had an original PowerShot stapler that was over 30 years old and still going strong that I truly loved. Unfortunately it was destroyed in an accident. When I went to buy a replacement, I saw this improved version and decided to purchase it. Functionally and mechanically, it works even better than the last one I had. I am extremely pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a heavy duty manual stapler that is reliable and easy to use.
Pros: Crafting, General Repairs, Hanging Targets, insulation, Roofing, Upholstery, numerous and varied other projects
As an advanced-expert DIY'er I've used several manufacturers similar products over the years. Most were OK for light crafting and upholstery but the moment you try to use the tool in heavy duty applications the design and construction flaws reveal themselves quickly.
This tool stands up - construction and design are excellent.
I would recommend this tool.

Hello: Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate you taking the time to write your review. When our Design Team design a tool they keep the customer in mind and work hard to design tools that will empower people to tackle and complete projects quickly, cleanly and with pride.
Was tasked with stapling screens to old wood window frames, and this staple gun worked perfectly. Easy to handle and reload. Well constructed and worth the value. I also like the idea of the dual-use staple gun which I will definitely try during my next home in improvement project.
