Amazon Basics Heavy Duty Staple Gun, 3 in 1 Stapler with 600 Piece Staples, for Upholstery, Home Repair, Carpentry, Decoration and Furniture, Black/Silver

The media could not be loaded. I bought this firstly to reupholster a very old footstool in need of a new cover. I chose this one based on good reviews, the Amazon brand name, and its reasonable price.It arrived in a sturdy cardboard box with a polystyrene inlay, shaped to hold the staple gun and box of staples, which I’ll keep to use as a handy storage case. Included is a very helpful, easy to read, and concise instruction booklet.The staple gun feels weighty, strong and fits comfortably in the hand. Turning the wheel at the top clockwise adjusts the force for tougher jobs, resulting in the staples firing into the material more powerfully. In the video above, the wood I put two staples into is very hard and solid, and as you can see they went in fully, quite easily.Turning the wheel anticlockwise delivers less force, so would be more suitable for delicate jobs.The handle is relatively easy to press if you are pushing it downwards onto a solid surface. Of course, as with any staple gun, using at arm's length reaching high up a wall could be more tricky.The three types of staples included are handy for various uses. The standard square-shaped are strong and work well. The U-shaped set are ideal for securing thin cables, and I have used these a few times already with good results. The “nails” are effectively panel pins, and differ in that they can be used two at a time (see photo above). They’re fired into the material 10 mm apart, so the same separation as the pins of each standard staple. All good so far.-Pros: • Strong build quality: Metal not plastic • Simple to use • Reasonably priced • 3 assorted staple types included • Effective on solid/hard materials • Adjustable power settings-Cons: • More staples would be helpful • No storage/carry caseOverall, this is a first-class product; strong, reliable, effective, and easy to use. I would highly recommend it, so it’s five stars from me.Thanks for reading, I hope you found this review helpful

Had to repair the seat of a chair and this was excellent. Easy to use and powerful enough to drive the staples through some fairly thick fabric right into the wood. Impressive - especially for the price.

Good product only used once since bought but did the job

I’m impressed for the price. Wasn’t expecting this to actually do the job. I needed to attach something to my wooden garden fence and wasn’t going to buy an expensive electric staple gun. Pleased to say this worked fine. It does take a bit of strength to use but for my project it was worth the purchase

Started fine on the 6mm staples it came with, tried on 10mm in same size - 140 - into batten and about 10% went in, the rest twisted up despite checking everything else was correct. Ideal for lightweight jobs with little staples but useless for quick repairs to chickenwire fencing or anything else outdoors!

Heavy enough to be sturdy.Only downside is the extra staples I bought are too long so you have to break them down to fit.But a great cheap product that's not shoddy plastic but metal

Got about 10 staples into soft wood and it stopped working. Cleared obstruction and it worked twice and stopped again and no matter what I have tried it won’t work. I've used lots of staple guns in the past for work and this is definitely one to stay away from. Buy a good brand name ! Suppose you get what you pay for.

Does great job
