What a waste of money

Would Not Recommend

This was purchased to replace my arrow stapler that was never returned when a friend borrowed it. This stapler was absolutely horrid! Depress the handle all the way and sometimes it would fire a staple and usually it wouldn't. On the few occasions it would fire, the staple wouldn't penetrate more than a quarter inch. Out of utter frustration from a crappy product and frustration with having to delay my project again... I was able to test its aerodynamics and flung it across the garage into the n...

DO NOT BUY ( you’ve been warned )

Would Not Recommend

Needed to replace my arrow that failed because of me dropping it multiple times . The only reason it failed . I figured I’d try this one because of the brand and liked the versatility of it being able to shoot brads and other size staples … I wasn’t as lucky as some who at least got it to shoot good a few times . It was too weak to drive through wood I was using on my speaker box ….. leaving more than half the staple out from the first shot tried about 3 times then it started misfiring . I’d squ...

Horrible product

Would Not Recommend

Staplers are not good, don't buy, only last a short amount of time before they start misfiring, pull trigger 10 times to get 1 staple.
