[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The TT21 is not at all intimidating to use, my daughter loves it, and so do I. It feels good in the hand and doesn't require too much force to sink a 3/8" staple into pine plywood. It held the fabric tight. The "forward action" is great because it makes it easy to staple on the edge of a board. The only downside is the J21 staple. It is stronger than a paper staple, but much less stronger than the normal staple gun staples. We sunk four staple...

How could this go so wrong
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pretty happy with the staple gun I chose for the weight and size as well as price. Getting it out of the package required a tiny screw driver which I thankfully had on hand, a quick snip of the zip tie and it was free. It was at this point of loading some staples that I realized the assortment pack I got had one size that this gun is not compatible with but that's my fault for not seeing that in store. Loaded it up and went to my first in...

Overall Impressed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this lil dude for a last minute reupholster. I needed something simple to use and inexpensive - but not cheaply made. The TT21 passed the test and still going strong. Good for all my crafting needs + packs enough punch to tackle larger jobs like the upholstery--which included a one inch pad, that didnt slow it down a bit. IF i had to nit pick, the one thing Id adjust (which im not certain is even possible with these things..?) would be t...

Good forholding up chicken wire fencing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The TruTac Light Duty Forward Action Stapler - TT21 made my project of fencing in my upper deck to protect our new puppies from escaping and falling through the gaps. Being in my 70's and having arthritis in my right hand, I found this stapler to be light weight and the handle very easy to squeeze to release the staple into to wood. I was able to shoot the staple from all angles to secure the wire to the decking. This made the job go quickly an...

Great craft stapler
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s great for crafty projects or cute diy. Was planning to return once I stapled some laminated booklets, but ended up keeping it. I loved the easy of push and precision. It held pretty sturdy too, considering it was about 7-8 laminated pages together. I ended up crafting up some photo collage boards with some materials I had around, came out better than I thought; my tt21- aka my good stapler, made it super easy to uphold the materials togeth...
