Pros & Cons
Pros
Light, but heavier than expected. Doesn't require a lot of grip strength. Comfortable in my hand. It handles well.
Using dewalt staples specifically for this stapler. My hands aren't as nimble and strong as they once were, but i've reupholstered many chairs. I can use a variety of fasteners from small staples to brad's.
Cons
Disassembling the stapler requires defeating the 4 anti-tamper screws. It barely drives a staple into poplar, which is a really soft wood. After stapling, i have to repeatedly squeeze the handle to get it to reset.
First (and most obviously) it misfires a lot. First 4-5 worked in soft pine… only on highest setting…. Worked for a few quick jobs.
Some internal mechanism appears to have worn out. Then started jamming. My best guess is it was machined incorrectly. The remains are on the the way to the landfill.
