(More customer reviews)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.
