Purchased this stapler after the one that has been around for years broke. Went through approximately 2,000 staples with no issues. Handle is a little press at first but puts the staples right where they need to be.

It is a manual heavy duty stapler. I used it once so far on an uphostery project. It is easy to use, puts the staples where expected, and usually drives them completely. It failed once when a staple twisted and blocked the staple feed. It was easy enough to clear.
I purchase stapler to redo a chair that I own. While handling the stapler it kept slipping out of my hand, because the surface was so slick. When I got over that, my job became so much easier putting the fabric back on the chair. The other thing is that after I finish, I had to tap the stapler with a hammer to go flush into the seat of the chair. The staplers may have been too long, or wood may been too hard, not sure. (1776)
I purchased this staple gun with the intention of having a reliable staple gun to use at anytime any where. This is very durable and will last me many many years.
Pros: Hanging Targets, Crafting, Wiring, General Repairs
