Upholstery Staple Gun Heavy Duty, YEAHOME 4-in-1 Stapler Gun with 4000 Staples, Manual Brad Nailer Power Adjustment Stapler Gun for Wood, Crafts, Carpentry, Decoration DIY by YEAHOME

first time i used it the staples repeatedly jammed and had to us another. Very frustrating

This does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Since it’s not electric it requires some effort to use. As someone with weak (old) wrists, I found it easiest to operate when I was standing over it because I could put my entire arm into it. When I used it while sitting, my wrist had to exert more effort resulting in a couple of badly placed staples. The power adjustment knob was helpful since I was stapling into soft wood and hard wood.

I like that it came with an assortment of nails and staples. These should get me through a few projects before I need to buy more.

This thing is pretty and feels great in your hand. And it puts a staple into a piece of corrugated cardboard or a stick of butter (as long as it’s not cold) like a champ! If you essentially need a thumbtack, but want to feel like a construction worker…this NEEDS to be in your tool belt.

Here’s my story, in case it’s helpful to anyone else considering DIY reupholstering using this morsel of Amazon eye candy…

Bought this to attempt to attach a new leather cover to the center console armrest in my car.

Included staples were too deep (would’ve poked through my armrest), so I bought some 1/4″ Arrow J21 staples, which loaded nicely… They wouldn’t penetrate leather and armrest, no matter how firmly I made sure the head of the stapler was against the surface, and no matter how much (or how little) tension I applied through the tension adjustment knob. All this thing did was smash the snot out of every staple – and slowly ruin the edge of my new armrest cover – as staple after mangled staple crunched into it rather than going into the surface like it was supposed to!

I assumed it was a weak staple problem, which seemed weird, because the previous cover had been installed with lightweight staples that looked pretty much exactly like the ones I couldn’t get to penetrate… Anyway since this is a “4-in-1″ stapler, I went BACK to the big box store and bought ANOTHER box of staples, this time, name-brand, Arrow T50 (heavy duty) 1/4” staples, and headed home again SURE that I finally had what I’d need. BUT NO!!! This staple gun, despite its 4-in-1 claim, failed to penetrate the armrest a single time with these staples! Not only that, but it mangled every single one of them, and jammed on nearly every discharge of them so that I needed pliers to rip the remains of the staple out of the jaws of the stapler so that I could even get it to spit another out!

I decided to try one last thing before concluding that I was trying to do an impossible project, and starting to look for a local upholstery shop to clean up my mess.
I went BACK to the big box store ONE MORE TIME and bought an Arrow JT27 staple gun…made for one purpose: applying J21 staples. When I got back home, I loaded some staples, aligned the console cover, and fired the first staple straight into the plastic, exactly where I meant it to be, no mangling. I got my cover on…but not with this hunk of scrap metal.

Truth be told, I wish this HAD worked. It was WAY more comfortable to use than the JT27 is. But I kinda need a tool to WORK more than I need it to be pretty or sexy or covered in memory foam or whatever. Now if you’ll excuse me, I am going to go sit in my car, lean on my like-new center console, and contemplate why I can’t just have it all…

Works perfectly. Easy to use. Very sturdy

Un peu léger car plus petite que je ne pensais. Maintenant pour le prix c’est bien.
