          I have a YEAHOME 4IN1 STAPLER BRAD NAILER. The package identifies the staples as Heavy Duty 1.2x8x10.6mm. Will the Arrow T50 7/16" staples be compatible with this stapler?

          Hello - Arrow T50 staples have a 3/8" (10mm) wide crown and come in the following lengths: 1/4" (6mm), 5/16" (8mm), 3/8" (10mm), 1/2" (12mm) and 5/16" (14mm). T50 staples do not come in a 7/16" length. Your question is posted on a page for our JT21 staples, which have a 7/16" (11mm) wide crown and come in 1/4" (6mm), 5/16" (8mm) and 3/8" (10mm) leg lengths. Please check with the manufacturer of your stapler to confirm compatibility with Arrow staples since we do not list that specific brand on our list. - Your Arrow Fastener Team

            Are these compatible with the following stapler: https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-Carbon-Fiber-Tacker-DWHT80276/302712299 I was told this size staple would work for installing insulation in a garage wall, but I am having a hard time figuring out which non-Arrow staplers they are compatible with (I want a more heavy duty one than the Arrow JT21/JT27 staplers). Thanks for the help!

                Perfect for Easy Crafts
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these staples for simple craft projects and quick fixes. They are light duty so please only use on light fabrics and thinner materials. They are not meant for thicker items. I use for some paper crafts and to fix some old picture frames. I didn’t experience any issues with jamming or loading into my stapler. When stapling I didn’t have any issues with applying.

                  Great quality staple for general light duty purpos
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to install in my staple gun and these worked well for stapling some cardboard into place for a temporary fix. They are made for light duty but they are sturdy and hold up well. There are plenty in one pack and I’m sure these will last a long time, definitely a great deal!

                    Great Craft Staples
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Arrow JT21 Light Duty Craft Staples 5/16” x 7/16”, 1000ct in exchange for my honest review. These staples were compatible with my Stanley stapler and were perfect for my bulletin board. They went into the board just fine and were easy to remove when needed. With 1000 in the box, I’ll be able to create a few displays before purchasing more. The staples have a good thickness for my purposes. The size and weight is uniform. The strips held together well too, so no small clusters to try and line up in the chamber. I’d recommend them for light crafting purposes.

                      Good but smaller than I expected!
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These staples are good quality and durable, but I realized my stapler was too small to use them. These would be perfect for things like paper chains or anything that would need a smaller staple to hold them together!

                        Arrow staples
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used arrow brand 5/16” x 7/16” staples in my staple gun on a craft project. I adhered fabric to a wooden frame. The staples are holding up well and seem to be working great. They are of high quality staples and I would use these again for my next crafting project needs

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These work great and hold my projects well. It’s easy to put inside the stapler and have no issues with it gaming. I stapler a lot of things. My lights outside and they withstand all weather. My lights haven’t moved at all!

                            Good quality!
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are really great staples. I had a project to cómprele on my patio and I used these to do so. I was stapling plastic greenery to the wooden panels. Even though the packaging suggest that gear are best for cardboard, light fabrics, thin plastic and craft projects- they didn’t bend and went straight into the wood. These Arrow JT21 staples are easy to use and good for everyday household projects.

                              Great Staples for Crafts!
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These staples work as expected and fit my staple gun with no issues. I’ve used it on a lighter fabric so far and it did really well with that project. They were easy to load and haven’t jammed since I’ve been using them. They seem like good quality and are sturdy! Overall they are a great value and do really well for crafty projects!

                                Staples Work, Sometimes Jam
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have trusted the Arrow brand in various products for several years, yet I have never purchased their office staples. The size of the package was smaller than I expected, yet was said to hold 1000 staples. I’m not going to count them, so I’ll have to take their word on the quantity count. The staples fit easily into my office stapler, and the staple strip was a little longer than my stapler would hold, so I easily broke off the extra and put them back in the package for later use. Next was the real trial, what would the staples actually staple. First, I tried a couple of pieces of regular copy paper. The first staple worked great, but the second and third staples jammed. Second, I tried stapling a piece of copy paper and a piece of poster board. As long as I stapled the papers while were sitting on my desk, it worked great, yet holding the papers and stapler in the air to staple them didn’t work, and the staple jammed again. After reading the package, it says these staples are best for: cardboard, light fabrics, thin plastics and craft projects. Personally, I only use staples for joining pieces of paper together in my office. Overall, they work about 25% of the time; jamming often, even though my brand of stapler is listed as being compatible.

                                Hello, thank you for the review of our staples. Our staples are designed to work with many major brands of standard staplers. However other manufacturers may have differences in their products that can affect the way they work with our staples. This is rare, but not unheard of. However, we CAN guarantee that our staples will work with Arrow staplers like the Arrow JT21. Hope this helps. Your Arrow Team

                                  Good
                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Though my new electric staple gun comes with a bunch of staples of various length, i want to be sure i have enough on hand. I dont want to run out in the middle of any ptojects. These fit perfectly and the length is likely what i need in most situation.
