[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this staple gun for using in my to install an insulation kit for my stairs leading into the attic and it did the job with no problems at all. It did not stick at all and I did not need to use much force to get the staples all the way through.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great sturdy staple gun. I love the rubber grip on the handles makes it easy to use especially since I'm prone to having sweaty hands. Overall great quality for the price.
This stapler is for a woman with small, weak hands. Not a tool to put in anything but 1/4 staples. It will not seat a 3/8 staple into yellow pine 2/4's. I had to use a hammer on every staple. Ran out of craftsman staples near the end of the job. It is american made, fairly good quality, works fine but, is not much more than a toy. I haven't tried a white pine board. It might be able to sink a 1/4 staple into white pine. My wife wants to upholster the seats on dining room chairs. I really doubt it will sink a 1/4 staple into the oak seat of a good chair.
Pros: insulation, Upholstery
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello, there. We are so sorry you've been frustrated by your experience with the T50 staple gun.
This stapler was designed to work with a variety of hard wood and soft wood, including oak, plywood and MDF. We always recommend choosing the shortest staple possible to achieve the penetration of 3/16-inch to 1/4-inch required for a secure hold, so we're wondering if a shorter staple would have resolved the issue.
However, it sounds like there may have been other issues at play as well, so we'd like to touch base with you directly about this since we do stand behind the T50 with a limited lifetime warranty.
