STANLEY Heavy Duty Staple Gun, Type G staples up to 14mm and Type J Brad pins up to 15mm Compatible, Aluminium Housing, 0-TR250

Quick summary - Pros: Reasonably priced, powerful, comfortable in the hand. Cons: Does require effort (see below for further details) I used to have one of the (even) cheaper staple guns on the market (where you adjust the staple strength using a rotating knob on the top - let's call this one "Brand X") and I can assure you that this gun is significantly better and well worth the extra few pounds. Even on the lowest strength setting the B&D is more powerful than the top strength setting of Brand X. I found this out when I embarked on a project to reupholster our dining room chairs. Firing a test staple into the hardwood seat frame using Brand X the staple was far from flush on the surface, only penetrating the wood by a few mm. Setting about finding a replacement and looking through countless YouTube videos on how to reupholster (I'm no pro) everyone seemed to have a pneumatic staple gun, which I figured was a little overkill for my needs. Next option down was an electric staple gun, which were a lot more reasonable in price terms, but I did want to keep things as simple as possible, so in the end thought I'd just go with a (what I'd hope would be) better standard normal gun. The B&D was well regarded so I went for it and am happy I did. It's simple, effective and does the job. If there was to be a downside it would perhaps be that it does require some force to use (but only very slightly more than Brand X). Of course, this is a manual, heavy duty gun and the force required is likely proportional to the power of staple fire, so this shouldn't be a big surprise. I did however find that when using one-handed (eg when you are holding something in place to staple) the force required can cause you to slip slightly (depending on what you're stapling). This wasn't a problem for me, but if you have to be incredibly accurate this may be an issue. Similarly, if you have a lot of stapling to do at a time (100+) or you get particularly trigger happy, the force needed means it does eventually get tiring. Perhaps I'm just a bit weedy! In either of these cases, I'd consider the electric stapler as an alternative, although I must admit I've never used one myself, so can't make a direct comparison here. In short, if you're in the market for a manual staple gun, you can't go wrong with this one. I would certainly recommend it over cheaper models.

Great stapler looked around for a while which model type to choose quality etc , chose this was t disappointed only used for one job so far but very good result bought a few different size nails and staples all good I do recommend would buy again good price

Brilliant wall stapler, easy to load, easy to use! Great results, used it to line fabric inside some wardrobes and very pleased with the results. Very sturdy compared to others I’ve used and bang for buck offers great value!

Reviewed Dec 2020: This is so much better than my electric powered one from Aldi, which didn't seem to be able to drive a brad through a block of butter! Just used this for the garden shed project, using it to staple down 12mm HD staples to attach damp proof underlay and the airpocket foil insulation on the walls. Only used genuine staples, and got through just under 2 packs, so just under 2000 in total. Its quite fierce to use, but remember we were using longer staples into both seasoned and also green wood. The only times we had a misfire was when we didn't have the stapler flat and/or didn't give the handle a sharp enough squeeze. There is definitely a knack to using it, but once you have it sorted, it's excellent. We had one stoppage, no idea what the cause was, but easy to undo and remove the loose staples, and then restart. It feels solid and robust, the stapling mechanism feels well made and solid when used. Quite tiring to use for a volume of staples, but it did the job perfectly.

I used this staple gun to attach rat wire to cover the complete base of my chicken run, it was a big job but this tool was an absolute godsend, It made my job a lot easier. There were occasional misses when I didn’t line up the wire and wood correctly but that was mostly my fault. The tool was easy to use I was using 14mm heavy duty staples that drove well into the wood and seemed very secure. This tool is excellent value for money very sturdy and powerful highly recommend

Just what we needed. Not too heavy to use but strong enough for our jobs. Some of the staples needed an extra bang with a hammer to drive home but we were attaching to very hard weathered wood. Even using the extra pressure knob some staples still stuck out a bit. Used the 12mm staples to attach bamboo screening to an old fence. Made the job a lot easier than trying to nail in tacks! My only criticism would be lack of info on product page about the staples it takes and sizes for which jobs. You get this info on the packaging but not on the site anywhere so you have to have the stapler before you know exactly what staples are best for what jobs. For a newbee to the delights of staple guns, I found this a bit confusing. Should I use a 10mm/12mm or 14mm for my particular job? Is longer also stronger/better or worse? Will they rust?? What are the dimensions relating too? I would have liked more info at time of purchase on the staples or maybe a small selection of each type it accepts included with the gun. A photo of the relevant packing area showing the table of staple sizes and their uses put on the site would be useful.

J'avais une des planches de mon lit qui s'était retiré. Je l'ai remis, problème il fallait que je refixe la toile aussi sous le lit 😅 Du coup plutôt que de prendre un marteau et des clous, j'ai pris cette agrafe. Aucun regret, elle est arrivée en même pas un jour en plein confinement 😮, merci amazon. Elle est assez lourde gage de qualité et très simple à utiliser. Je recommande. Et toi tu recommande mon commentaire ? 👇🏼

Excelente engrapadora tiene la suficiente fuerza para trabajos de uso duro, no he tenido problemas con ella es una excelente herramienta

powerful, great quality, very solid

This is a sturdy, reliable staple gun. I use it for mounting needlepoint canvas on stretcher strips, but I am sure it would be equally useful for a wide range of art, craft, workshop and woodworking activities. When I use this, I know that the canvas is going to stay firmly anchored to the frame until I am ready to take it off. It is quite sturdy and easy to load. Please note that if you have children, you will want to store this away from their reach, and preferably with the staples in a separate area. It is not a toy, or a paper stapler. It is a serious workshop tool.

Avevo già una cucitrice stanley di cui non ero affatto soddisfatto perchè le punte si inceppavano sempre, forse dovute al fatto che era in plastica, per cui ero indeciso se comprarne un altra della stessa marca o cambiare. Leggendo le recensioni positive ho deciso di prenderla, anche se il prezzo è il doppio delle altre marche, ma visto la delusione della prima ho deciso di non risparmiare e prendere il modello di fascia alta. Per il momento sono soddisfattissimo, la scocca completamente in alluminio da un senso di concretezza e robustezza e per il momento non si è mai inceppata. La forza è più che sufficente ma chiaramente non popssiamo aspettarci miracoli, non è cento come una pneumatica, ma per piccoli lavori la comodità di poterla usare immediatamente senza fili è impagabile. Su legno tenero infila le graffette del 12 e i chiodini del 15 senza problemi anche alla minima potenza. Visto il prezzo non proprio economico dovrebbero almeno includere un po di graffette per iniziare. Se dura nel tempo è perfetta!
