Description of PowerShot 5700KB Forward-Action Heavy-Duty Staple and Nail Gun Kit
Squeezing trigger puts pressure on the front of the gun to ensure staples are driven flush to surface. Does not kick up like traditional staple guns. Requires less force to staple. Quick load staple chamber slides away for easy loading and hassle-free jam clearance. Uses 1/4" to 9/16" Powershot or Arrow T50 staples, also shoots 9/16" brad nails. Kit includes: Powershot staple and nail gun (model No. 5700) wire attachment and convenient plastic storage box. Promotional item. Limited availability.Customers have great things to say about the PowerShot stapler, so we decided to take one for a test spin and see what the hubbub's about. The PowerShot calls itself a stapler and a "nail gun," which is a bit of a stretch. It's certainly a stapler, and a fine and innovative one at that. The forward-action design seems a little awkward at first, but it actually makes the act of stapling more natural and accurate, placing the weight of the user over, rather than behind, the staple. Fill it with 9/16-inch brad nails and it functions as a light-duty nailer. One customer points out that the PowerShot's padded handle is cold-weather friendly. All-metal staplers can be real heat suckers, but PowerShot's padded handle stays warm--and it's ergonomically correct. We applaud this inventive tool. --Mark McDonald
Tools and Hardware Reviews of PowerShot 5700KB Forward-Action Heavy-Duty Staple and Nail Gun Kit
Customer Review: Antiergonomic.... Bad news.... Will return
Summary: 1 Stars
I agree with those who think this is a very dangerous product. The forward action requires much UNtraining. And staples do not go in flush -- ever. It doesn't seem to matter how you poise the gun.
And I also stapled my palm -- twice. While working, I operate by feel. The handle angle is just opposite the older duo-fast/arrow types.
Obviously they've had some problems, since there are bold arrows in two places, which attempt to warn of the staple exit.
