I'm so confused by all the 5 star reviews. This thing has been a nightmare from day 1. The handle is too wide to press with one hand so I have to use 2, which is a pain. Every 4th or 5th staple jams or misfires and the ones that don't jam or misfire don't sink in completely so you have to go back and tap them flush with a hammer.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, We're sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your T50 stapler. You are correct that it sometimes requires two hands to hold the stapler in place when firing. If you're not stapling flush against the base material, the stapler can misfire or fail to drive the staple fully into the base. Often, failure to fully penetrate the base material is the result of the staple being too long for the job. Please take a look at our resource The Skinny on Staples for more guidance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product and easy to use. I recovered a chair and used this for holding down the fabric. The stapler was easy to load and use. I had no problems with it holding the fabric, the staples staying in, and emptying it for storage again.
