Seems to work better then the electric version.
5 Stars
Seems to work better then the electric version.
I purchased this stapler/brad nail gun at the same time that I purchased the Stanley TRE550 electric version of it. I really wanted the electric version, but this was my backup. It turns out that this drives the staples better then the electric version so I am glad that I ordered this one. (I just revised and reduced my rating of the electric version.)I can be more precise in my placement with the electric version. But this manual version will drive the longer 1/2 inch T-50 staples all the way in. Which in comparison, the electric version has a problem with staples longer then 3/8 inch. And it is the longer staples that I use the most of.There is a switch for high and low pressure. And like any manual stapler, it takes some force on the handle to use this stapler. But not any more force then any other manual stapler.

4.0 out of 5 stars i like it but.... it has some aspects which im either ambivilent about or plain just dont like.
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2015
Verified Purchase
Compared to my cabling stapler which is made out of pressed steel, this is about half the weight which is obviously due to the aluminium construction. its use of plastic fittings puts it out of the trade tools category and firmly into the home handyman bracket.

Perhaps my main dislike is the (somewhat novel) swing out cable tacking guide. I think this is more wishful thinking on Stanleys part than anything else. As someone who uses cable tackers professionally, i can say that cable tacking requires either horseshoe shaped staples or insulated staples neither of which this is capable of handling. Also, just the logic of the idea is wrong. Consider this, cables generally are round and usually soft... the swing out cable guide is designed to accommodate round cables... the staples are flat headed and the striker is also flat headed. Result? Crushed cables of course.

Other than that, it is a reasonably well constructed. The claim of "easy squeezing" has to be taken in light of operation of other similar devices.I'd speculate that its designed more for people with larger hands. For women or people with smaller hands, i could easily see it being a two handed operation. Having said that, the "squeeze length" isn't significantly more that comparable units.

it does fire a range of staple lengths as well as brads (staples which are tee shaped) but not cable staples or insulted staples. The unit does not come with staples which must be purchased separately... something to be borne in mind when ordering this item.

In use i needed it to secure some loose carpet on the stairwell.A feat that it achieved admirably. The decision to buy from Amazon versus locally was a no-brainer. Amazon had it for $17 USD plus $5 USD for a pack of staples whereas locally I would have paid $70 NZD plus $20 NZD. (yeah I know, we're getting ripped off seven ways to Sunday which is why so many kiwis buy online now)

Addendum
I must admit to having an alternate motive behind getting this. As an amateur woodworker, I've been watching Youtube where people use a compressed air powered brad nailer to hold things together. Not having a compressor, air hose or brad nailer (and having no plans to get any of those things), I was looking for a cheaper alternative. Having just now proved the theory, I'm now adding it to my review.

As stated, I've now proved that this stapler can be used as a light weight brad nailer in woodworking. It will fire a brad through a 1/4"(6mm) piece of MDF with ease but will not penetrate through 1/2"(12mm). Switching between hard or soft doesn't seem to make any difference to the penetration. The brad itself seems to be more robust than I expected (I've previously described it as a tee shaped staple leg) but it appears to be made out of a much thicker metal than the staples. 1/4"- 1/2"penetration may not seem like much there is no comparison in cost versus a compressor based brad nailer. On op of that I did describe it as light weight.

Addendum 2
OK I've used it a bit more now and I've gotta say, I'm becoming more impressed with each use. I've discovered that both brads and staples are heavy duty in a really meaty sense. Up to the level of my cable stapler in fact. I'm still not sure what to make of the plastic fittings so I guess time will tell on that one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great staple gun, heavy duty and makes stapling projects go much faster than traditional staple guns.
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2014
Verified Purchase
I had a cheap staple gun we've been using for years (and years) that worked okay for light duty stuff. It finally kicked the bucket and was spitting staples like they were going out of style.... so we read the reviews and purchased this model.

Let me say, this staple gun is impressive. It will staple brads, staples, has a nice little guard on it for affixing cable without crunching it, and it has variable power for more challenging jobs. I wish I had gotten it earlier in my project, once I got this staple gun, I didn't have to waste time pulling out half-depth staples, buckled staples, etc.

The nose is flat and very close to the staple dispenser, which allows you to get very close to corners - that works well on projects of many varieties when you need to have precision staples to hold materials into corners. There is a gauge that shows you what size of staples you currently have loaded.

My hands are much smaller than my husband's, but I didn't have any problems pushing the trigger bar down. It has a safety catch to lock the stapler and prevent accidental misfires, and loading staples and brads is a cinch. While it's not overly heavy, it has a sturdy feel and will last us for many, many years to come, and also has a great warranty on it. Stanley stands behind their products!

5.0 out of 5 stars A joy to use
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2014

I originally purchased a Dritz 'Heavy Duty' staple gun at Michaels craft store to re-upholster our dining room chairs. On the first chair, the staples kept getting jammed and twisted, so I packed it back up and returned it. The same day I ordered this tool, and what a difference. I ordered the Stanley TRA700BN Heavy-Duty Staple & Brad Assortment pack with it, and you can tell right away the difference between the Dritz and Stanley definitions of 'heavy duty'. The Stanley staples are noticeably thicker and sturdier.

I did one chair with the Stanley tool, and it was like night and day. I don't know if you're a tool kind of person like me, but when I pay a very reasonable fee for a tool that is simply perfect for the job at hand, I am very satisfied. This unit is clearly labeled with the types of staples and brads it accepts, has a tension adjuster, clearly indicates on the unit how to load the brads, and is pretty easy to load.

I've seen other units for twice the price, but I just don't see how anything can work better than this. Skip the craft store staple guns and get a tool that gets the job done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight, durable and still capable of deep staples
Reviewed in Canada on July 12, 2017
Verified Purchase
I purchased this stapler primarily to bring to the rifle range to hang up targets. It's capable of penetrating old hardwood, plywood, MDF and particle board. I've shot around 200 staples through this without a single jam. The action is very easy but can still penetrate fully to make sure you don't have any hangover (if you're hanging Lumex or other cables).

The staple gun itself is very lightweight hardened plastic. It weighs a little over 1lbs. It shoots a variety of different staples and nails, including Stanley SharpShooter TRA700 series or Arrow T-50 heavy duty narrow crown staples and 1/2-Inch, 9/16-Inch and 5/8-Inch Brads.

It's a great staple gun. It's been dropped several times ranging from 10 feet and lower, onto soil and concrete, and it still looks like the day I bought it. It's a great purchase, and a great price for this quality staple gun.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stupid Stapler that cant be used for tacking cables
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 23, 2019
Verified Purchase
Stupid, stupid stapler that although it has a cable guide you cant use rounded cable staples with it and it doesnt let you use normal staples at all so you have to buy heavy duty staples. This sounds easy but if you search on amazon or anywhere for TR250 staples there arent any, if you search for heavy duty staples then they all mention other models of Stanley Staplers not the TR250 so I've had to gamble that the ones i've bought will fit as none of my existing staples will.
The stapler took absolutely ages to arrive otherwise I would have sent it back but it does seem well made and has some nice features such as the adjustable depth and staple load guide.

Got it for $30 in 2019. For do it yourself people, get this rather than an electrical one... else you're stuck with a cable following you around. As for people who complain squeezing the handle is too hard/stiff, buy a "hand grip strengthener" and do some work. I'm no muscle man and this works great! Good for stapling wires for garage door and home/dash cameras around the house.

Recently used this staple gun on an exterior house project putting up a waterproof barrier. The staple gun itself is nice - good size, fits in your hand well, easy to decompress the lever and appears well made.

Loading the gun is slightly different than ones I’ve had before (staples go inside, not on a track) but after realizing how to add them, I like this system better.

Staples seem to punch in well. Great for my needs.
