This staple gun and cable fastener looks really solid and works pretty well as it claims. You can use the “clear” Arrow Fastener 591189 Genuine T59 Insulated 5/16”x5/16” staples with this one. It does a flawless work on tacking network cable without hurting a single wire. If the larger size staples seem annoying, then use the smaller ¼”x1/4” staples. For those who experienced having staples not being driven all the way in, I think they got a defective one.

This tool uses a staple wire which has a plastic end to hold the wire down without hurting it. Upon driving the staple into the surface, there’s a really small gap between the wire and the staple. It’s actually a good thing for that provides enough space for extra wire movement. It also has a deep guide notch which allows you to shoot the staple without scratching the cable. If you hate to see loose and sloppy placed cable wires, you can use staples with sizes smaller than 0.25 inch.

In general, this staple gun works amazingly as expected and a good investment.

• Other things:

It works really fine and the product’s packaging looks sweet and beautiful and an after-service card is included. The packaging is as good as the product itself. The instructions on how to use and reload the staples are on the packaging itself.

The 3-staple style included with the tool adds more functionality for home decorations. Staple wires are good, doesn’t easily bend when shot at harder surfaces like the upholstery. It’s also a good thing that it comes with a Quick-jam-clear function for it’s really a headache when staples are stuck inside.

Its grip handle is covered with soft rubber which gives a firm grip and comfort when working. The dial knob works fine when you need to adjust the pressure when the staples are shot. It also has a rectangular metal locking feature which secures and holds the handle in place when not in use. In totality, this staple gun’s worth the price, works perfectly neat.

4. BOSTITCH T6-8 Heavy Duty Powercrown Tacker

The BOSTITCH T6-8 Heavy Duty Powercrown staple gun is another decent tool crafted by Bostitch. It works pretty much the same way as any other manual staple guns. One good thing about it is there’s less staple jam compared to other counterparts.

Even though it requires an initial load factor and extra hand strength, this ensures more depth in every shot. Some users said that Bostitch staples are not good for this unit because of its blunt ends, I would say otherwise for it just works fine. The right staple size for this unit is STCR5019 Powercrown staples with sizes: ¼”, 5/16”, 3/8”, ½”, 9/16”.

Now let’s go over the rough side about this tool. One setback with this package is that there are no staples included. The unit is sturdy and strong. However, its quite heavy and surely your hands and wrist will hurt after 2 to 3 hours with this tool. It’s preferable for a person with strong hands and a firm grip. Likewise, good thing the handle is insulated with molded rubber for a comfortable grip. Nevertheless, this one is really good stuff and a good tool.

9. Dewalt DWHTTR510 Manual Staple Gun Brad Nailer

Let’s first look at the good stuff about this unit. This tool has a good strong spring system for effective craftsmanship and shooting of staples and nails. It has a strong plastic housing and the handle is of good length for better grip and handling. Likewise, it has a molded rubber cover on the upper portion of the handle. Excellent for hand comfort.

They’ve added a power switch high/low function. This comes useful when you’ll be working on various surfaces. For harder surfaces, like furniture, you have it on high power for a deeper shooting. Otherwise, use low power when working on delicate things like wires and cables.

Now let’s go over the rough side of the tool. Some experienced their staples jamming or shooting out. Perhaps, they did something wrong with the loading process. Moving on, the latch which holds the handle when the tool’s not used seems to be annoying because sometimes it locks up while working.

In general, this tool is still worth an investment for your shop or home.

10. Craftsman Manual Staple / Nail Gun

This tool relies on your body weight rather than the grip when using. Its body is housed with hard plastic which actually holds up with a high-pressure application. It works perfectly fine with light tasks such as installing outdoor lightings. The tool’s design exerts pressure where it needs to be to have an effective shooting depth of the staple or nail.

So far, this staple/nail gun delivers effective shooting depth because the pressure applied is in line with the staple. One setback is it can’t use nail crown molding. In totality, this one is a good trade-off for a staple and nail gun.
