It's user friendly and dependable.

Would Recommend

An upgraded version from the same stapler we have owned for over 20 years. Feel lucky to have found a new one with the same straightforward operation and design.

Works alright, mildly tempermental

Would Recommend

Its a pretty solid stapler, but you have to squeeze the handle at a pretty precise speed all the way down and hold it for it to staple properly. Too fast or too slow, and the staple just drops out. Its not overly tricky but it gets some getting used to.

Great tool ~

Would Recommend

I'm a 65 year old woman so I used two hands, but I found it pretty easy to use. I recovered kitchen chairs and the feature of increasing the intensity of the drive for the staples was very helpful. It's super easy to load.

Not great for faced insulation

Would Not Recommend

I ended up going back up to Lowes and buying a staple hammer which was a game changer for getting the insulation up in my kitchen remodel. This was just to hard to deal with and get the staples into the 2x4's.

A step beyond that old cheap chrome stapler

Would Recommend

After 20+ years my old chrome stapler needed to be replaced. It was jamming too often. I looked at electric ones but a lot of time I just need to do a quick job and pulling out a cord seemed to be too much effort. I saw the dual power setting. But I wasn't sure I needed that feature. The old stapler would often leave the staples 1/2 way embedded. When I set the Bostitch + setting is sunk the staples no problem. SO that feature came in handy on my first job. It takes some hand strength but not...
