This product is great, and has many uses! I,m a do it your selfer, and love fixing things, and this product helped me fix things around the house and in the garage! Every Fall, I use it to tack up plastic on our windows, so to keep out the cold air in Winter... Also to tack up tarp around the front porch, to hold back the Artic blast we get every year!
Pros: Upholstery, Crafting, General Repairs, insulation
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dear Greyfoot,
Thank you for the review and the positive feedback. I'm glad there the T50 supports the various projects you have.
We purchased this stapler to do some insulation in the attic. At first we pounded through it, my dad and I were putting the insulation up quick and we made good progress. However this device, after enduring about twenty minutes of work started jamming constantly, every other staple we put up. We spent more time removing jammed staples than we spent putting up the insulation. This device's "Heavy Duty" mechanism could not put staples through the soft pine wood of two by fours, as it is advertised as being a capable device. This device is under- capable and It's "Jam resistant mechanism" was non existent as our stapler continued to jam. Eventually it broke and we could not fix it. Anyone who is saying that this device is of exceptional quality should put their heavy duty stapler through some pretty soft work such as putting up insulation. You will be surprised about how easily it will stop working and leave your job at a standstill. I do not recommend this product.
Pros: insulation
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dear Wayne99,
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to learn you experienced difficulty with the stapler jamming. Please look for an email from me as I'd like to have the tool looked at by our quality control team to determine the nature of the issue and repair or replace the tool.
This is a sturdy gun and has a leveraged release mechanism which gives it extra power when compared to the lower priced guns. I use 9/16" staples and need the extra force.
This stapler is tough and rugged and well worth the money. I recently had to purchase this one because I had bought a different brand that didn't measure up to my expectations.
Pros: Upholstery, Crafting, Wiring, General Repairs, insulation
As a 58 year old woman that has bought her 1st house to "re-do", this staple gun has been a life saver!!! With an old drafty house I've had to put plastic over all of the windows and extra doors and I could not have done it so fast without this tool. I also sew, so I have a lot of quilts that I have been able to hang for color to give me ideas on paint for rooms. thanks for making such a great tool!!!

Dear QuilterMe,
I'm so glad the T50 has enabled you to complete all your projects with ease. Thank you for the positive feedback.
There is nothing fancy about the T-50 but it always works. That is the reason I keep one or more on the farm. We have pullet houses and have need of a staple gun a lot. I have tried the "new and improved" kinds but none have proved to beat the T-50 in use. You don't have to reload , or unjam this one like the others. I love it!!
