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.
So far so good ... first use right out of the box was easy enough and had good result.

Bought this to replace a Stanley product that I've had for many years. Quality seems to be just as good or better. Seems to be extremely well built. Need more time to evaluate. Some directions about using the wire adapter would be helpful.
Pros: Upholstery, Crafting, Wiring, General Repairs
I treated myself to a brand new T50 heavy duty because one of my kids or grand kids love mine so well it went home with them. I used it for 25 years or so and it was going strong.
Pros: Roofing, Upholstery, Crafting, Wiring, General Repairs, insulation
I would recommend this to a friend!
