Asked by Betty March 8, 20212
AnswersThis staple gun has made my project so much easier than I could have imagined. This is a great tool! It’s light yet sturdy and durable.
It says brad nailer? I was wondering what size nails it would take? Or is it just a staple gun? Need it for baseboards.
Asked by Ray February 10, 20211
AnswerDepends what kind of material and how thick your baseboards are. Note that the only brads recommended for this machine are SWKBN050 (1/2") and SWKBN0625 (5/8").

Does this use nails as well as staples
Asked by Oatmeal November 24, 20203
AnswersYes. If you look carefully at the description you will see that it can be used with brads. You cannot se it with large nails; it's not a nail gun.
I cannot install staples

Customer Reviews
Customer review from stanleytools.comFeb 14, 2021
Worked real good
I took on a large upholstery job and didn't want to staple by hand so picked this thing up. In 2 weeks I ran over 6000 staples with no jams or other issues. If I had to nitpick I would recommend a better indicator for when you are out of staples because when empty the hammer came out and cut my material. Still very happy with this stapler and would buy again without hesitation.

Customer review from homedepot.caNov 17, 2020
i’m frustrated
Within 5 staples i realized this thing is woefully underpowered, even in pine and cedar. The safety pin is finicky and you have to have it in the perfect position. 15 minutes later and it starts misfiring and only eeks out a staple every third shot or so. Then about 45 very inconvenient minutes later the thing stopped working entirely. Swapped to a manual stanley tr250 (which i highly recommend). Found out after inspection that the bar that pushes out the staples is jammed out of position.

UNDERPOWERED - half the power of a regular stapler. Terrible product
I'm not sure what Stanley is/was thinking with this stapler. I was hoping to save my hands of much stapling on a project (working with T50's) and not using a manual.
It has two power modes. "Low" and "High". At low power it will only sink a 5/16th staple in to a pine board half, if that. At "High" power it still leaves more than 1/8" gap, often a full 1/4". Not a single staple on a sample piece of wood could I get anything that was satisfactory. 100% of the staple drives were subpar at best, still needing to be hammered mostly and at worst unusable and the staple could be pulled out with no effort.
What is the intention of a powered stapler if not to AT LEAST match the power of a manual one and, presumably, be able to do a bit better and then some.
Sure, you get what you pay for, however, for twice the price of a normal stapler I'd expect at LEAST the same performance, certainly not a 100% worse performance.

Very easy to use. It’s not expensive but it gives quality results. ive had it for a couple weeks now. It has a very useful botton so it doesn’t work, stopping kids from using it. I love my Stanley staple gun. I’ve used it for numerous diy decor and furniture repair projects and I’m honestly tempted to call it my favorite child. (Don’t tell my kids)

Misfires and jams
I wouldn’t waste my money on this product. As soon as you reload it it continuously misfires and jams. Couldn’t even finish my project. Only every third or fourth staple would take. So frustrating. A waste of time and money!

Where has this been all of my life. I'm a sporadic DIY person and I've recovered a chair or two, but never invested the small amount of money needed to get an electric stapler. I was recovering 6 small dining chairs and my hand was aching. I purchased this electric stapler and am now kicking my self for not buying one years ago. I am really and truly so happy with this purchase. The size and weight are easily manageable with smaller hands (I have tiny hands). The cord provides adequate length for small jobs that are common for an electric stapler. I didn't experience any issues with jams or loading. The noise quality is good (not terrifying like some tools can be). Also, I was able to control the positioning before, during, and after stapling with little to no movement. This was very important in the project since I was using a much thicker foam and needs to ensure I pulled the fabric as consistently as possible. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend for any person that needs to do stapling on a sporadic or consistent basis.

This tool works great! I had been using a manual stapler, but my hand strenghth is limited and made it really hard to accomplish any jobs. I zipped right through replacing a ripped screen on my screened in porch with this duel function staple/brad gun.
