What Customers Are Saying

The manual staple gun offers a mixed performance. Many users found it to be a reliable and powerful tool, describing it as easy to use and versatile in handling both staples and brads. However, a significant number of customers reported issues with frequent jamming, inconsistent performance, and difficulty getting the staples to fully penetrate the material. While the product appears effective for some users, there are also quality concerns that lead to frustrating experiences for others.

Started off great. Bought this to replace the dinosaur I had.Insulating my cabin. Second day it started miss firing. Pretty soon won't staple at all. Going back to Lowes for a refund. Piece of junk.

Good for only 1 in 7-10 squeezes.

Would Not Recommend

This stapler is beyond frustrating! Like some of the other posts it shoots when it feels like it. Sometimes you have to squeeze it off 7-10 times just to get one staple to come out. Very frustrating when stapling insulation! No jams, no bent staples, it just doesn't work. Never again! It seems to be a common thing on the review side that the problem is usually the same. Maybe common defect? Definitely more reliable ones out there.

Not for upholstering. Horrendous.

Would Not Recommend

I bought this and also the powershot staple gun in case one didn't work out. Neither were good for upholsterjng. As I said in the other review if you don’t mind lying on top of the staple gun just so you have enough force to get the staple into the wood then this is your staple gun. Absolutely horrendous. Get an electric staple gun and save your time, blood, sweat, and tears.
