 Complete waste of money May 15, 2006
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I bought this about a year ago to install mosquito screen in pine and spruce lumber. On the low power setting it will drive 5/16" staples about 2/3 of the way in. On high power it shoots 2, 3 or 4 staples at a time with only one press of the trigger. The Stanley guarantee says it all:
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
Stanley warrants this product to the original purchaser for its useful life (not to exceed one year for products with electrical or electronic components) against deficiencies in material and workmanship.
Its useful life - not to exceed one year. Well, its useful life certainly did not exceed one year. It barely exceeded one week.
No power November 10, 2005

I bought one of these about 5 years ago. It works ok in soft woods with short staples if you hold it down rather tightly against the wood. But after a few years I find it to be somewhat worthless since it cannot drive any kind of staple in anything but soft wood. So now I am back to Amazon looking for another electric stapler with some power. I don't always need the power. But there have been too many times when more power would have made all the difference.
It should be called "The Jammer" - poorly designed September 30, 2005

I have to echo Mr. Titus' review. I bought this unit to do some light upholstery work. It seems to feed the brads okay, but lacks the power to drive them either flush or below the surface even on pine!
Then I tried using staples (since that is the primary purpose for upholstery.) What a huge disappointment. Every staple jammed or would not feed to the nose. This is the result of a very poor design and/or poorly executed manufacturing (not meeting dimensional specifications, etc.) Stanley ought to pull this out of production and fix the problems. This piece of junk will harm their reputation.
I strongly discourage anyone from purchasing this staple/nail gun. You will be sorry if you do.
This Sharpshooter Isn't Sharp and Can't Shoot Straight June 26, 2005

Don't buy this product--it stinks. Deserves ZERO STARS. I bought this stapler/brad-driver to help me replace screening in wooden frames. I would have done better with a manual stapler and individual nails hammered in by hand.
Staples jam about 20% of the time and require manual clearing. Individual mis-fed staples fall into an internal slot and you must remove the group of staples and shake the unit vigorously to get the jammed staples to fall out.
Try as I might, I could not get staples to drive into the screen frames (pine) straight and true with any regularity. The staples ended up skewed, bent, and twisted. Only when I held the stapler firmly in place with one hand and prevented any recoil with the other hand, would the staples go into the wood properly. That's a tough maneuver when one hand pulls screening tight and the other hand operates the stapler.
The brad-driver part of this product is useless. The brads hardly ever drive flush with the wood surface and usually require a final tap or two with a small hammer. As with the staples, the brads jam or mis-feed frequently and sometimes the unit drives two brads simultaneously. The brad-loading arrangement is a kludge. A group of brads slides down one side of the staple slot (poorly described in the instructions). But because no rail keeps them in place, the spring-loaded "pusher" makes it impossible to load two or more segments of brads. So, if you end up with just a few brads in a group, either continue until you need a complete reload or pitch the few remaining and load a longer segment of brads. This design flaw means you end up with odd bits of brads that you have to load individually or throw away.
I plan to look for a professional-grade brad driver for some projects, but it will not come from Stanley's line of tools.
Unacceptable performance. Waste of time & money. June 6, 2005

Using for stapling fabric to untreated lumber for window treatments. About 60% of the staples this stapler shoots do not go into the wood. It requires less effort and would be great if it would perform even as well as a manual staple gun. It is a waste of your time & money. Very frustrating to use.
