STANLEY SharpShooter Stapler, Heavy Duty (TR150HL)

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.

I almost never do reviews, but this time I felt compelled to let others know how much better this is than the competition. I need to replace my old staple gun. I tried Dewalt, and sent it back, then Arrow and sent that back. Both jammed repeatedly, misfired, and were generally the worst tools I ever owned. I tried the Stanley, and finally! This is easy to squeeze for starters. I ran a half a box of staples through it for an overhead job and never once did it jam or misfire, and the staples go all the way in flush. Finally a staple gun that works! Highly recommended.

We needed an inexpensive heavy duty staple gun that would be able to do some small tasks with temporarily securing some fabric to wood (floor joists in our basement ceiling). While this performed the job just fine- (we used 1/2" staples for our project) -it seemed to become increasingly difficult to push the stapler over time. My husband, who is very strong, noted this and said that it felt as if it were becoming increasingly resistant and requiring more pressure to push the staples through. I have fairly strong hand strength and while I was able to staple with this as well, and also found that it was a bit stubborn at times. We had no problems after going through 2 1/2 stacks/rows of staples with it jamming whatsoever. Overall, for the price, I do feel like we got our money's worth from this, just be (possibly) prepared for a little sweat equity if you have a lot of stapling to do into wood ;) Thanks for reading!

Works well.

Works great. No issues. Easy to load. Easy to use. The depth setting is kind of nice. Doesn't make a huge difference but I suppose if you wanted to temporarily staple something so it wasn't super difficult to remove the staple you would use the lower setting. Sometimes we have stapler wars at the jobsite at work (yeah we mess around sometimes, what a surprise) but the staples come flying out of this thing. A lot of power behind them. They shoot very far haha.

I had doubts about this working because of several reviews talking about it being under powered. I received it yesterday and I loaded some generic 3/8 staples I had, and tried it with a treated pine at the lower power setting... It worked perfectly. Then I tried it with a mahogany table and it too did the work perfectly. The build feels very sturdy and the item is a heavy which is good for this sort of things (The stapler body is all metallic) my only worry is the handle as it is plastic reinforced with a metal rod. The force needed to drive the staple is ok, not too hard not too soft. even in the strong setting. So all in all look like a good purchase. I'll update if anything goes wrong when I truly put it under heavy use.

After reading a few of the reviews I was cautiously optimistic. The body is diecast metal with a diecast plastic handle. I've dropped it no less than 10 times installing insulation in ceiling joists. No damage at all to the stapler. I like that the staples load from the bottom (easy to check how many are in the gun). I've installed 600 sq.ft. of insulation without the stapler misfiring. A few times I failed to compress the handle fully and caused a double clutch to set the stapler. The wire underneath the handle does at times get in the way but, it's a minor nuisance. I haven't had a need to try the power adjuster. Overall, a solid tool.

After reading all the mixed reviews I was a bit skeptical about this. Well, it arrived today and I set right out to use it. Worked great, right from the package. Much easier to use than traditional staplers of this class. I had two Heavy Duty Staplers and both were difficult to load, hard to squeeze and basically, I hated. When both broke, I decided to look for something that would potentially be easier. As a woman with small hands, but not wanting to invest in an electric staple gun or one that operates of a compressor (though that would be nice however, I do not own a compressor!) I needed something that would work for a minimum investment. This did the trick! I needed to winterize my chicken pen and used this to staple the plastic around it. No problems, easy to use, hands never got tired with what I had to do. So glad I bought this and if you are looking for a decent heavy duty stapler that is an economical purchase and actually works, then this is a good investment. Will it last a year or more? I have no idea..some on here have complained. I found it to be made well, seems durable. My last cheepo ones lasted me years...I have no reason to think this won't. UPDATE DECEMBER 4 2016 Only had this as you can see for a very short time. It has broken just like others have said. We made it through about 3 rows of staples and it just quit working. So very disappointed. I ordered a replacement (this will be free because I have only had it a short time so I'm within the return window). Hubs wants to give it another chance...I'm skeptical. Anyway, if you don't plan on using it much you will still find it very easy to use but if you can afford a better quality, I would urge you to get it. I have lowered my stars accordingly. When the new one comes in I will use it and update again how it performs.

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

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!
