Tool for Any Job
This Roberts staple gun is considered to be a professional tool that can be used for a wide range of tasks. This gun is really helpful for those striving to do the job easier, faster, and better. This Roberts tool brilliantly copes with upholstering as well as other finishing works. We'd like to add that the gun is suitable for tacking carpets. Most staple guns come with large heads that make unrolling carpets and fixing their corners fairly inconvenient. However, the Roberts 10-600 has a low-profile head that will do this job perfectly.
Carefully Designed
Naturally, this stapler features various parts that make its use comfortable. We liked the design of the gun's magazine. Firstly, it is pretty big, and secondly, staples are very easy to load. We should note that the Roberts gun works only with 9/16" Duo-Fast staples. Let's also highlight a wonderful slip-resistant handle as one of the greatest conveniences of this stapler. This handle makes the gun easy to control and reduces stress on your hand. The stapler comes with the 12" power cord and it's longer than the cords of most other staplers. The stapler has a hardened nose and a heat-treated hammer mechanism for longer life and durability. Additionally, this electric staple gun comes with a convenient plastic case for carrying. This case is large enough to hold not just the staple gun but also a pack of staples and other accessories.
About Roberts
The Roberts company was founded in 1938 and is the leader in manufacturing and distribution of parquet installation tools. The company invented and improved a multitude of tools for flooring materials and continues designing innovative products for today's demand. So, it's no wonder that the Roberts 10-600 electric staple gun is so brilliantly designed and performs so well.

Which Gun Can Fire So Fast?
BOSTITCH tools earned the trust of millions of customers long ago. This 651S5 pneumatic staple gun also boasts recognition among professionals. And it's a well-grounded reputation as the tool is designed with an eye for detail. The tool fits hand amazingly and has unique functions. Let's go step by step. The gun has a handgrip covered with rubber which ensures a convenient and firm grip. The gun is quite light, weighing just 4.3 lbs. We should note that the gun can be successively used with one hand. Yet, you can hold the tool with both hands for greater control. As for the functions, this stapler features adjustable driving depth like most professional staple guns. Thus, you'll be able to set the right amount of driving power and protect tender surfaces from damage. Apart from that, the gun features a rapid fire mode that excited us the most. This is a truly useful feature allowing you to shoot mindblowing 10 staples per second. Also, the staple has the anti-jam magazine that minimizes failed shots and sticking. Even if a staple is jammed, a quick-release nosepiece will let you remove it easily. Like any pneumatic tool, the BOSTITCH 651S5 should be used and maintained properly. It's important to set the adequate pressure in your air compressor before shooting staples. If the pressure is too low, the gun may get stuck with a staple and conk out. Handle the gun with care, and it will serve you for many years.
Experts in Staple Guns
BOSTITCH was founded at the beginning of the 20th century in Boston. The company acquired such a ridiculous name because of the abbreviation of Boston Stitcher. Despite the company's prominent achievements in producing stitching machines, BOSTITCH initially manufactured staplers, and, principally, staples as the most profitable items. Later, the production shifted to stitching machines and powerful staple guns.
More Products to Consider
Consider buying a swivel plug to connect your staple gun to an air compressor, as well as premium class oil to grease your gun and keep it working smoothly.

Not Just a Stapler
The next product on our shortlist is an electric staple gun from Stanley. This tool is cool for its low price, outstanding performance, and some extra features. We were instantly attracted by the power adjustability of this gun. The adjustment is carried out with a lever that allows setting the power depending on the material being handled. We should also note that the gun's nose is flush, so the tool can drive staples where most other guns can't. As the manufacturer claims, the gun has the mechanism that minimizes jamming during the work. When it comes to the design and structure, Stanley TRE550 staple gun brings nice feelings. The tool looks solid and sits in hand perfectly. The versatility is, probably, the most exciting thing about this gun. Apart from shooting staples, Stanley can drive 1/2" and 5/8" brads. We need to say that such an outstanding and useful function can't be found in many other rival staple guns. So, if you need to arrange insulation, nail ceiling panels or staple a carpet, don't waste your time on hesitations and choose the Stanley TRE550.
The Stapler's Story
Desktop staplers, ancestors of staple guns, have been used by people for a long time. The first pattern of a contemporary stapler was made by the order of King Louis XV in the 18th century. Each staple for that stapler was marked with a royal court emblem. Since then, staplers have become more and more demanded as the paperwork was growing. At the end of the 19th century, George McGill patented the fastener that could clamp brass paper. Later, he patented another stapler for fastening paper. It could drive only one staple, though. The word "stapler" appeared several years later. Before 1909, staplers were called after manufacturing companies, for example, “Hotchkiss”, or just "fastener".

Makita Style
The Makita XTS01Z cordless staple gun is a splendid assistant for fastening. This is a pretty handy tool with useful features and solutions typical of all Makita tools. We would like to say that the gun has an amazing power thanks to its patented motor. It allows the gun to drive staples into any material. If you staple some fragile material and strive to keep it safe, you can easily set the required driving depth with a special knob. Everyone knows that a staple gun may jam staples from time to time. So, this model is equipped with the jam-proof mechanism to avoid such troubles. We should point that the entire tool is designed thoroughly. The gun's magazine is made of aluminum and provides a fuss-free loading. One more thing: the magazine has a small window that shows how many staples are left. This feature helps you arrange your fastening workflow and cut the job time.
Astonishing Performance
Makita took care to make their staple gun pleasurable to use. The tool feels nice in hand thanks to its soft rubber-coated grip. Also, the spring-loaded mechanism makes the tool lighter and smaller. This feature allows you to work longer without breaks. Of course, the tool should work continuously to provide a stable performance for time-consuming tasks. Makita engineers have even provided the tool with the cutting-edge STAR Protection Computer Controls technology which monitors the tool's components and protects it from overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

The Tool That Simplifies Your Life
Hitachi is one of few companies that has its own philosophy and follows it for years. Hitachi's production philosophy lies in the introduction of innovations and cutting-edge technologies. Adherence to that policy allows us to enjoy high-quality Hitachi tools. The Hitachi N3804АB3 pneumatic staple gun can facilitate your work and save time for other things. Reviewing this staple gun, we'd like to highlight its lightness. The tool's weight is just 2.3 lbs and it's, probably, one of the lightest staple guns. We should note that this gun needs no power supply and this is its major advantage. You just have to set the right pressure on the air compressor, connect it to the gun, and start working. The magazine is large enough for quick stapling without frequent reloads. Also, Hitachi is convenient for its sequential and bump firing mode. These modes help you adjust gun's performance to any specific material. You can select the mode with a switching device located on the left side of the tool. Also, we can mention the nose cap as one of the greatest conveniences of this staple gun. This cap leaves no dents and nicks even on a soft material. What is more, we like the vent for removing compressed air from the tool. This port revolves 360 degrees, so you can easily direct the air away from you. Finally, we should acclaim the safety of this staple gun. The shooting occurs only when you pull the gun's trigger and depress the push lever against the work surface. Taking into account the above-mentioned features, we can conclude that working with the Hitachi N3804AB3 brings a great pleasure.
How Staplers Appeared in the USA
It's interesting that desk staples found their users in the USA not so long ago. Staplers appeared in American offices in 1914, yet they didn't spread rapidly. In those days, the ratio of employees to staplers was just 500:1. The reason laid in the staplers' inconvenience. A stapler could handle one staple only and its reloading was fairly troublesome. The situation changed in 1923 when Boston Wire Stitcher Co. produced the first stapler that could be reloaded with a strip of staples. This stapler didn't have analogs in terms of usability and immediately conquered the market. Finally, Swingline manufactured the first prototype of modern office staplers in the late 1930s. That stapler was easy to reload by just opening its top cover.
More Product to Consider
We recommend you to load your staple gun with galvanized finish staples as must-have consumables for your fastening jobs.

What is a Staple Gun
In the recent decades, lots of tools have been created for construction purposes and they make our lives a lot easier. Thanks to all kinds of construction equipment, people can cope with their tasks faster, better, and more accurately. Staple guns are among such must-have tools. The staple gun can easily tack a film, cloth, panels, a window screen mesh, and a lot more with conventional staples.
We also advise you to consider our review of the best brad nailers for tougher fastening jobs, as well as jig saws to shape wooden pieces to be further stapled or nailed.
What Features to Compare
Type
If you wish to find an appropriate staple gun for your needs, you should know the specs and features of these tools. For a start, learn the types of staple guns.
- Manual staple guns. These tools are considered to be the simplest in use. Manual guns are designed for small tasks and are not efficient for tough materials due to their design peculiarities. A manual staple gun is suitable for occasional use. If there’s a lot of work to do, you can get dead tired using the manual staple gun.
- Electric staple guns. Electric guns are either corded or battery-powered. Electric staple guns can be used for upholstering, paneling, fastening sheet materials in any projects. Electric staple guns shoot much faster than manual ones. So, electric models are used successfully for tough projects like large-scale repairs and construction.
- Pneumatic staple guns. These guns also find application in large jobs that need high performance. Pneumatic guns employ the force of a compressed air to work. Like electric tools, they don’t need much effort for usage and some models are capable of driving both staples and brad. Though, a staple gun can’t fully replace a brad nailer. Generally, pneumatic staple guns fit best for large scopes of work and fastening tough pieces.
Specifications
Next, pay attention to the size of staples the gun can drive. Staples come in a wide variety of sizes and the more sizes the gun can handle, the better. After all, various staples are used for completion of various jobs. Staples usually vary in height, length, and gauge. Also, staple guns can handle different materials, and these are commonly specified in user's manuals.
Conveniences
Finally, pay attention to the features that make the staple gun easy and comfortable to use. It’s nice when the staple gun has a capacious magazine comprising a lot of staples. This feature will save you the time for recharging the gun. Staple guns’ magazines often have windows that allow monitoring the number of staples remained. Also, an ergonomic non-skid handgrip will make using the staple gun more comfortable.
