Used this gun with 3/8" staples to attach outdoor carpet to pressure treated lumber. Was very pleased with how easy it is to squeeze the trigger and 90% of the staples went all the way down into the carpet, just had to gently tap the remaining 10% of staples that didn't go all the way down with a hammer. The gun looks, feels and works like good quality craftsmanship.
The T50 staple gun is as hard as a rock, I don't see any damage you can do to this thing. It has no problem shooting the staples into 2x4's for insulation. However I think if a woman is going to purchase this make sure you can squeeze the trigger, it's a little stiff.
