5 tears ago my father passed away and I inherited most of his tools including a T50 stapler. He was a Master Picture Framer and used his T50 to mount countless Canvases to Stretcher Strips and for many other uses around the Frame shop and house. As a pro photographer I make a lot of Fine Art photo Canvases and use this same T50 to mount my canvases also. I remember the day back in the 60's when my Dad and I went to the store and he bought this unit. 50 years later it still works great!
There are not many things mechanical in this world that are still around after 50 years let alone that work just as the day they were bought. For what he paid it works out to about 40 cents a year to own. Now thats Value!
Pros: picture framing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you so much for your great review on the T50. This particular tool has been in our line since 1957 and is one of the most sought after from many of our customers.
I bought this to replace/supplement a 40 year old T-50 that, although still working, has some reliability issues. The fit and finish on this new T-50 is disappointing, many gaps in the frame halves implying poor quality control. The stapling, while somewhat adequate, is not as powerful as the old model. Reloading staples is a bit more difficult as well. The newer unit's staple magazine mechanism design is more difficult to release and latch. I'm not sure what prompted these design changes; quality was surely not the motivation. Perhaps it was a change in component sourcing resulting in a lower base component cost? The purchase price was well in line with the product delivered.
I just purchased this Stapler on Sunday 11-9-14. It worked great for my wife and her redecorating / upholstery needs. It is heavy duty and solid. I think the T50 will last her a very long time.
Pros: Upholstery, Crafting
