What Customers Are Saying

The hammer tacker stapler appears to have mixed reviews. Many users found it to be a fast, efficient, and user-friendly tool that worked well for various DIY and construction tasks. The hammering action was described as easy to use, and the heavy-duty construction made it durable. However, a significant number of users reported frequent jamming issues, with the staple clip and spring mechanism prone to breaking or malfunctioning. Some also found the stapler to be overly heavy and difficult to use in tight spaces. Overall, the product seems to have both positive and negative aspects in terms of performance and reliability.

Comes apart constantly

Would Not Recommend

I almost threw this junk into the woods today. The slightest bump on the back of the stapler causes the spring loaded part to fly out the back dumping your staples all over the ground. Really annoying when working on a ladder trying to hang vapor barrier. Classic example of the designer/engineer having never done a real day of work in their life.

Don’t buy it

Would Not Recommend

Spring loading system makes it shoot out about every other hit. Unnecessarily annoying when you’re laying synthetic felt on a roof during the summer

Do not purchase not good quality tool

Would Not Recommend

The spring to hold onto the staples is too easy to open. The spring popped out while using and fell into the insulation in the attic. We couldn't find it. Bought another one to continue project. Spring popped out of that one too. Do not purchase if looking for a reliable tool. If I could give it zero stars I would.

Spring and staples popping out

Would Not Recommend

Bought this to put house wrap up on a shed. After about 5 to 6 staples the spring and staples would come out of the back of it. Have to hold it so part of my hand helps hold it in. I don't know what needs to be done to fix this but something does. Every time it does this I'd lose half the staples. Other than this problem, it works like it should
