Tools and Hardware Reviews of PowerShot 5700KB Forward-Action Heavy-Duty Staple and Nail Gun Kit
Customer Review: Won't work
Summary: 1 Stars
I just purchased this product and filled it with T50 10mm staples, as recommended on the packaging, in the manner described in the instructions. It isn't even jammed -- I can see all the little staples in a row waiting to be stapled -- but it won't work. Brand new, and it doesn't do a damn thing. From the reviews here and elsewhere, I'm definitely getting the impression that it's not worth getting repaired/replaced. I'm returning this thing tomorrow. I wouldn't recommend that anyone else buy one.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.

I strongly discourage anyone from purchasing one of these staplers.
The first one I bought worked great for a week or so. Then, something broke inside and it had no resistance to the lever. I sent it in for warranty repair. I needed a stapler (I was putting Tyvek on my house), so like a dummy, I went and bought another to use while the first one was in for repair.
I was able to complete my task with the second stapler, but it got very frustrating because it would take two presses to get one staple out.
The first stapler came back from repair and it worked well for a short while, now it takes a couple presses on the lever to get one staple.
In summary, this tool is one of the most frustrating pieces of junk I have ever had to use. Especially when trying to staple vapor barrier above your head. You have to shoot it two or three times to get one staple. Then, after three or four, it jams solid, and you have to open the magazine, which causes the spring to release and staples fly out every where. Don't buy one of these!
Sorry I can't make a suggestion for an alternative. My dad has a Duo Fast stapler, and he claims he never has any trouble with it. I think I will try one of those.
Customer Review: Not worth it.

I don't need to add anything to the reviews below. It is awkward. It jams ALL THE TIME. Find something else.Customer Review: If you're looking at this staple gun, move on

This staple gun never worked correctly, jammed when it did, and eventually stopped working after only less than 12 uses. I would not recommend buying this unit.
