Stanley TR150 SharpShooter Heavy Duty Staple Gun
Review by Liz Nichols : You get what you pay for

I bought this staple gun for an upholstery class. I was willing to pay more to get the flexibility of the nail/staple option and wanted something where I wouldn't wear my hand out as with an old fashioned staple gun.

As other reviewers have noted, it's not very powerful. That said, I was much happier with this Stanley than the other women were with their squeeze staple guns. For $10/day there was a higher powered rental available, which was the best of the lot (after I looked to buy and it retails for $150).

What it comes down to is what you want to use this staple gun for. Don't expect this to replace a pneumatic tool. If you need that kind of power, either because of heavy use, or to use with hard woods, then this staple gun won't meet your needs. But if you want a step up from the old fashion staple gun that is lightweight, quiet & flexible (it takes 10 kinds of staples and 2 kinds of nails), this is a good choice.

Review by William Arnold "BillinNE" : Excellent Staple Gun

This is a very solid, well-built staple gun. It's easy to load staples and is powerful enough to fire a staple into solid wood. It's a little harder to pull the handle than my previous Craftsman but not so bad as to alter my recommendation.
