So much easier that I'm probably puttting in more staples than I need to ......šŸ¤ž

This review is for the Surebonder 9600AK stapler. This is so much easier to use than our other hand stapler that I find myself putting in more staples than I need. We have been using this stapler to put up insulation in a room addition. The compressor is a DEWALT DWFP55126 set at 120psi. It's about 10 inches long (including the air connector ) and 7 inches from the nose to the top. I can't say if it would stand up to heavy duty use like a busy upholstery shop. It does feel lightweight. We haven't had any jamming problems yet. **LIKES: 1.) Has a swivel air exhaust vent to direct air away from the operator. 2.) A small opening in the side so you can see when you are getting low on staples. (See Pictures) 3.) Comes with 4 boxes of assorted staples. 4.) You can use all the Arrow brand T50 staples. 5.) An air connector is already attached when it was shipped. Most tools we have bought don't have this installed so it was nice to see it already on there. Not sure if others will have it.....āœ” 6.) Comes with a case, oil and an allen wrench. **NO BIG DEAL: As another reviewer mentioned it would be nice to see a better view of how many staples are left. All in all I'm glad we bought it as it's doing what it's supposed to and hasn't jammed up yet. If there are any long term problems I will definitely update...

Better than my manual stapler.

Worked well for me. I already owned a good-quality manual stapler but needed the extra reach that the protruding tip provides. Used the stapler to re-upholster a motorcycle seat; a straightforward job but needs a stapler that can reach past various ridges/obstructions to get to the action. Very pleased with the final job, and the stapler that helped me get there.

Worked well and without any issues

I rarely purchase a tool that is not "Top Shelf" but I really only ever saw my needing his for one job - installing insulation in a crawlspace. The review looked good and I knew I could complete the task with in the return period for Prime so I took a chance. This little stapler worked flawlessly from the first staple to the last; my guess is I used well over 3,000 staples. Every day when I started and after 3 refills I would drop 1-2 drops of oil in the air fitting as someone here suggested and it worked like a champ. It is light and maneuverable. The tip allowed me to put staples in tight places, some others I was considering looked like the tip would not allow me to maneuver as well. Most of my pneumatic nail and brad guns are Porter Cable, this is every bit as nice as those. As I said I have no idea how it would perform as a commercial installation tool but for my purposes it was a pleasure to use. The case is large enough for the tool and a wrench but it would have been really nice if it also held a decent amount of staples but i'm nitpicking here.

Worked great for my project.

I used Arrow T50 Monel staples with this stapler for the convertible top replacement on my ā€˜02 Toyota Solara. I chose to go with a pneumatic stapler over an electric so I would have better control over the force used to drive the staples (note: driving force/air flow is not controlled by the staple gun). This stapler worked great for the ~300 staples I drove with it through heavy canvas into hard rubber/plastic tack strip. The staple gun came with a plastic storage case, oil, and a bunch of staple packs. This kit was only a couple of dollars more than the gun-only item sold on Amazon. The staple gun has a swivel vent on top so you can adjust the direction of the exhaust air when pulling the trigger. I didnā€™t think much about this until I realized the oil in the gun was coming out of the exhaust as a fine mist and blowing directly on the canvas I was working with. So I appreciated that I was able to adjust the direction and keep the material clean. Yes, in the photo I am holding the stapler upside down. This was merely due to my working space. I easily pulled the trigger with my pinky. Perhaps too easily. You may or may not like how easily it fires the staple as you start pulling the trigger. Of course the the stapler has the expected safety features such as it wonā€™t fure until you depress the stapler down onto the material.

Excellent inexpensive stapler

I used this tool to reattach the seat cover to my motorcycle, after a mod to the underlying seat foam; that job would have been difficult at best without it. The tool worked very well, sending staples to tight locations that would not have been accessible to a manual stapler. The selection of staples provided assured that I had the correct type from the start (there are many types and sizes of staples to choose from, I could see that selection going wrong easily). I will be using this tool again on a household upholstery project; I was pleasantly surprised at the solid performance of this inexpensive tool.

Well worth the money

Used this as an upholstery stapler to recover a vinyl stool seat. I was impressed, and as I get older that is harder to do. Excellent build quality. Plenty of power. Runs at 60-100 psi and I ran at 50 to 60 psi into particle board and it seated staples fully and consistently. Light, easy to use. Probably ran 500 staples without a jam. Got 2 more seats to go and will update if problem. I recommend this as this company is putting out good quality. And no, I did not get anything free to do this, but did review because I was impressed. And if they want to send me $20 for review that would be nice but not holding breath waiting for it.

Heavy duty

I put this thing through hell. I went through five 10,000 box Staples. I don't think it jammed up one time. I was using it to put up send aluminum style insulation 3/8 inch thick. Have used it on other insulation jobs works great. I've used anywhere from 1/4inch up to 1/2 inch staples have not had any issues. Have ran it on 120 lb compressors to 80 lb compressors have not had any issues is the real deal. You will not go wrong with purchasing this nice little carry case also.šŸ‘

This is a great little air tool

This is a great little air tool. It comes with a ton of staples and when I used it for my upholstery project it never misfired in over a thousand shots. I highly recommend this tool to anyone wanting an air stapler. I run my 5 gallon compressor at 90 psi with this tool.

Great Tool, But Canā€™t Shoot Wasps

I needed to cover the eves on my shed with screen to keep wasps out. Opening the carry case, I was surprised to see the tool was made of metal instead of plastic (still very light). Surprisingly however, the instructions said itā€™s preferred to have an inline oiler, air filter, and pressure regulator. Well, this ainā€™t no pro shop. I pressed on. (Iā€™ve since ordered a filter/water separator for 7 bucks). Pressure was regulated at the compressor at 70 pounds, and I dropped a few drops of oil into the air intake at regular intervals. Not one jam. The only issue was, shooting staples above my head caused an extreme angle at the hose connection, causing an air leak. When there was a slight air leak, the gun wouldnā€™t fire. This was due to my Flexzilla hose connecting poorly to the included plug. I swapped it out easily - problem solved. I was also upset that due to the safety mechanism, I was unable to shoot staples at the wasps that were buzzing around my head during the procedure. (Maybe thatā€™s a good thing) This stapler performed very well driving staples into timber. They were fully driven and never over driven. Iā€™m very happy with this tool.

Great gun good price

I am an artist and I stretch my own canvases and I do quite a few a day. I have stretched 16x20 inch 20 canvases so far and not one jam at all. I was sick and tired getting manual powershot staple gun jamming on me the all day long. I can't believe for many years put up with that junk. I highly recommend Pneumatic ones over manual. Also very easy on the hands too.
