Arrow Fastener T50 Heavy Duty Staple Gun
Review by Eric Antonow : A perfect tool

This testament to the quality of this tool may be how many times I've either had it stolen. For under 20 bucks you get a stapler that will work perfectly -- not a single jam -- until you 'lose it'. Great for stapling screen, fabric or any material into wood as well as other light surfaces. I've used it for a variety for household repair project and I suspect it is great for craft things as well.One note: if you are going to use this to tack telephone cable or electrical wire I would highly recommend buying the T-25 instead (it wasn't on Amazon at the time of this review, but I suspect it will be here soon.) That model has curved staples and a guide to feed the wire, resulting in a much lower chance of puncturing through the insulation. It is very good for hiding all the assorted self-installed 'networks' and 'audio systems' in your house.Though I see other ergodynamic versions are available, I truly don't believe that there's much to improve on -- this tool is pretty much perfect.

Review by N. D. Saunders : Fantastic tool!

After trying a couple of other manual staple guns I have finally come back to this tried and true beauty. Works as advertised, plenty of power, puts the staples in cleanly and doesn't jam. Great for occasional small upholstrey jobs and odd jobs around the house.

WITH MANY OTHER TACKERS NO PARTS ARE EVEN AVAILABLE. ALSO, IT SEEMS THE MOST COMMON IN THE WORLD AND THE EASIEST TO FIND. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THE CHANCE TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS TOOL.

Review by "jon166" : Pretty good stapler

This stapler works well and it never jams on me. I use it at work and it works well stapling stuff to wood.What I don't like about it is it is hard to press compared to other some other companies staplers.

Review by B. R. Kmack : Not bad.

In response to previous reviewers' observations that this tool jams frequently, it is a fairly cheap tool. For the money, I find it to be a value. Although advertised as "Heavy-Duty" this tool is not for contractors requiring a heavy use stapler. But for small jobs, it fits the bill nicely.

I used my Arrow T50 today to secure some indoor/outdoor carpeting to a flight of porch stairs. Throughout the more than 120 9/16" staples (the tool's maximum allowable size), I experienced zero jams.

So get this stapler if you're a homeowner or occational user. Contractors needing a heavy-duty tool for roofing, vapor barrier, or similar applications where many fasteners are needed quickly, get a hammer-stapler or "slap-tacker" like the Arrow HT50PBL. Happy fastening.
