I'm an artist and bought this to use on stretching canvas. Kind of hard to squeeze, but much better than hammering in tacks. I anticipate getting a lot of use out of it.
I have about 3 of these and running large crews they are used often and never fail. If only I could get my guys to stop dropping the boxes of staples then all would be right in the world.
Bought the product and used it to staple carpet to stairs. The stapler lacked some power to pentrate the thick carpet and hard wood stairs. I think this product would be great for light to medium duty jobs. You can tell by the weight that it is made from quality materials and will last.
