Dear Tools,
Thank you for taking the time to review the T50; I appreciate your feedback and am happy to see you find it useful when completing your household projects.
This product is very easy to use and efficient. I was able to staple my screening on my back porch with no problems whatsoever. I would recommend the T50 stapler to anyone needing a stapler.

Dear Jeff42,
Thanks for the review. I'm glad the T50 stapler worked well for your screening project.
Chose this t50 over cheaper competition models.Right from the start it keeps jamming. Spent most of my time removing jammed staples. I was using it for light duty work. The staplees that did come out failed to penetrate the work surface.
The t50 works great for a few months and then starts jamming up. as do all other brands and models of staple guns they are unreliable. That being said just buy the t50 RED because it comes with a three year return policy. So when it fails, because they always do just return it and get a new one or have it fixed. It’s a pain to do this a few times a year but it is the way it is when it comes to staple guns. But overall the T50 is the best staple gun on the market. I just think the T50 RED is better off because of the three year policy.
Pros: Upholstery, Crafting, Wiring projects, Trim/molding, General Repairs
I purchase about two dozen of these staplers a year for our Shooting Range to post targets onto cardboard. They usually work okay for about a month or two and then the pins, which have a circlip on the end, fall off and it renders the stapler useless.
Why doesn't Arrow have a cotter keyed or nut holding the pins on? That would be the real fix for this very common problem.
Also, some guys at the range spray oil on the stapler track. Of course, in the dirt and heat of Arizona this gets the stapler all gummed up and the stapler again does not work! Yikes!
Overall, the stapler has a good design but it could be made better with just a couple of modifications.
