STANLEY SharpShooter Stapler, Heavy Duty (TR150)

I used this staple gun to complete the recushioning and reupholsterey of my dining room chairs. It worked perfectly. The only issue I had was that the staples didn't always go in deep enough, which was ok because when I completed one seat I just went around and hammered them in fully. Not a big issue for a small project. I would also advise that this gun is not for people with relatively small hands. I'm 6'1" tall and have relatively large and strong hands. I had my 19 yo daughter help me on the first set of staples on each seat and although she could do it, she needed to use both hands and several seconds to squeeze a staple out. I would also caution that the same brand staples that are suggested for this tool are not the best. They do a good job of securing the material to the wood, but if you to make an error and need to pull out the staples, they are actually quite hard/brittle, and always break, so that you either need to use a pair of plyers to get them out, or you have to hammer the remaining staple back into the wood if it's not protruding far enough to be pulled out. The staples that I removed from the original manufactured seats had no such issue. Those staples behaved more like metal.

I'm a 38 year old woman with horrible tendonitis in my wrists, but I needed a staple gun for some outdoor projects. I was worried my hands would cramp from the trigger, but that is not the case. The size is fine for a woman with small hands, and it is very easy to load and to use. It is also easy to put the safety on. I am using this tool for 2 projects- one, stapling contractors plastic to the outside of a chicken coop for winter, and the other to staple bird netting to wooden fencing I have around my flower gardens and vegetable gardens, to keep the chickens out of them. It worked great in both cases. I'm not sure about more heavy duty stuff, but for basic yard projects this has been a great investment.

How much can you say about a staple gun? It works just fine. One small criticism; if you need to place the staples precisely, it's impossible to see exactly where the staple is going - the spot where the staple is going in is hidden under the head of the gun. Wanted to add that I don't understand the "underpowered" criticisms. One reviewer said 1/4 staples had to be hammered into soft wood. Well, I put 3/8" staples (a lot of them!) into pine, and it worked just fine. With any staple gun, you have to hold the gun square and press it down firmly, or you'll get results like that. Or maybe the customer got a defective gun? I can't say, but mine worked fine for me.

I love the stapler for all the baskets I'm making. I had stacks of staplers that my other one couldn't run. This one can I love the color and performance.

I was working on a project while my prior staple gun kept getting jammed. I purchased this one half way through and it didn't get jammed once! it made the project go much faster

Got this to replace my old Stanley stapler. This one is lighter and easier to use. The staple slide holder is very smooth and makes loading a rack of staples quite easy.

Like the construction and use it for all construction materials

I can only give one star because I don't know how well it works because it didn't come with even a few starter staples with the stapler. I either have to drive somewhere to buy some staples or I have to order a box of staples and wait for them. I'm not happy about this because I don't have a car available to me today and I had planned on using this to install the mesh fencing I also received. I looked at the ad again and do not see anywhere that says staples are not included. Otherwise, I would have ordered them when I ordered the stapler.
