Been using the Arrow T-50 stapler for 20 years. Usually when I buy a new one its because someone took mine or I lost it while moving. Works great stapling artist canvas to stretcher bars.
easy to use, same design that has worked for years

Well made (USA) product. Easy to use design is one that has worked well for years. I used to borrow my Father's tools, but the time has come to start collecting my own. This will be my 1st and last staple gun purchase
Pros: Upholstery, Crafting, General Repairs, insulation
The T50 was a little larger than than I am used to, but it got me though my project and never jammed. I particulary like the spring that pushes the staples into position as a opposed to a spring thate pulls the staples. Ilike the cable attachment and will use it on my next project.
I tried a power assist staple gun and it only sporadically would feed staples. Went back to a old-fashioned model and no regrets. It is heavy and well-built. No jams and staples feed reliably. Only reason why I don't give it a full 5 stars is that it does require a ton of pressure to get it to fire, which can be problematic when using it overhead on a ladder.
This stapler does everything we need it to do from attaching upholstery, attaching loose wire, and keeping things in place for stage decorations at school. It was affordably priced. It's great to have such a great product that is also such a great value!
I was at Harbor Freight and about to buy a staple gun until one of the employees said I should go down to the end of the strip mall and buy the Arrow brand because it was much better built and would last forever. I took his advice and spent a couple of dollars more and got a very well made, heavy duty stapler.
