Customer Reviews for Arrow PowerShot 5700 Forward Action Staple Gun

Horrible purchase. It jams every third time. I’ve wasted more staples than I’ve used.

Bought power shot because I liked the handle forward design and it is made in USA. Did not work right from the start kept jamming with T50 1/4" staples switched to 3/8" staples worked better but the handle would not grab the piston to pound the staple. It is junk I guess I should have bought a cheaper one at least I would expect it to be junk.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love how easy it is to use. Had staples get stuck in the magnet, easy fix. Used for crafting an fixing upholstery.

Excuse me for purchasing a staple gun that shoots brads, oh wait the brass don't fit because the quality of production is terrible. The holes that hold the staple rail are recessed to high meaning brads do not feed properly. Genuinely fires multiple At a time, then it jammed. Waste of time and money to everyone involved.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the ease of use when using this one versus the other ones. It is easy to load and easy to use. I will also be using this in our Pumpkin Patch for signs, lights etc.

this thing is junk. it breaks very easily. the entire mechanism is a horrible design.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the easiest manual stapler I've ever used. I have small hands and super easy for me to use. #1117

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Code 1117 I absolutely love it!! Recommending to everyone

Not good for smaller hands. The lever is too far extended out and to press down to engage the staple gun takes a lot of pressure, and at certain angles, proves difficult. I guess it's a safety feature but didn't work for me or for hanging my garland over an arched walkway. My older powershot was perfect but I can't find that model anymore

Paying extra for Made In USA should mean something. Poor design/poor assembly made this fail after about 50 stables. Rebuilt on job site since I needed to finish the job. Worked for about anther 2 dozen staples then failed again. Very prone to jamming. Come on Arrow, where is your quality?

Garbage garbage garbage. All it does is jam. What is really funny is how all of the replies from arrow are telling their customers that they don’t know what they are doing. I will never purchase another product from hangzhou greatstar international again. Pure trash.

I purchased this PowerShot Model 5700M solely because it (supposedly) can also shoot 18 Gauge brad nails. Right out of the package, the only performance consistency I got out of this tool was constant jams, dry fires, or brad nails not set and sticking out a 1/4". Many times it shot 2 brads at a time. I was using 9/16" brads, and attempting to fire them into pine lattice backed by pine lumber. If you're looking for a tool that will shoot small brad nails, this IS NOT the one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to fill and ease of pressure needed to place staple in wooden frame. Great value

The powerjam 5700m is great if you have a pair of needle nose pliers in your back pocket and love to use them. Jam jam jam. thing can’t make it through a row of arrow branded staples without error. You spend more time repairing the tool than you do using it unfortunately. Not recommended.

jammed up, and when i tried to repair it, quite a few pieces fell out so it was impossible to figure out where they went happened twice will NEVER buy again. it sucks when you are in the middle of a project and have to stop because of an inferior product i'm going to buy a Regular arrow and not this ergonomic junk

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not comfortable and difficult to use. Hurts hands. I would use a more traditional design in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Consistently delivered staples with little effort and simple pressure.Zero blisters after several sleeves of staples

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to handle for the job I needed it for. Was able to reattach the lining under my couch with no problem.

Jams constantly. I can get about 1 staple shot for every 10 attempts. I’ve wasted way too much time with this piece of garbage. Stay away from it.

I bought 2 of these to hang insulation with. I thought the easy push feature would be more comfortable when hanging insulation but both staplers broke within minutes. The first one made it all of 3 shots before the interior forked tension rod snapped rendering the tool totally useless. The second one lasted about an hour before the same thing happened. This product is obviously made with inferior parts and will break on you almost immediately. When I tried to open the things up to repair all the inner workings just crumbled into an unrecognizable heap. This thing is total trash, you would be better off driving staples one by one with a hammer smashing your fingers the whole way.

Uncomfortable to use, shoots a staple 1 out of 10 tries and jams up constantly. Worst tool ever!

This stapler works maybe every dozen or so pulls on the handle. It is overpriced and infuriating to try to use. I’d give it negative stars if I could. Save your money and frustration. But a different brand.

Perfect for my applixation. Do not have much room to apply staples adn this tool works great for me.

I bought this Arrow PowerShot after my T50 and my hand both needed a break. After about 300 or so 5/16 arrow staples this thing misfires three or four times before it’ll fire one shot. I have no clue as to what could be wrong with it. I treat my tools well and this stapler still looks new, so it’s not been abused. It’s very disappointing for a made in USA Arrow product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a up date on last review. I've used it about a thid of a box of staples and hand isn't hurting. plan on using it till it falls apart as the old one did.

I'm enclosing my tomatoe plants for a little longer growing period as they still have alot of tomatoes on the vine. My old arrow stapler fell apart and now I bought this one a STAPLER TRUTAC to replace.

The PowerShot was great for installing our insulation on the back porch, very easy to use. It has great handling with the finger hole in front and hand grip behind it, just load it and start stapling. When you staple you push forward which makes it much easier to use especially when you have a big project. Would definitely recommend this one particularly if someone has arthritis , much easier to push and not have to grip and squeeze.

The 5700 is easier to use and more powerful than two other brands that I have used over the years. The design provides a more comfortable grip and the power is immediately confirmed with the first staple.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They have made the tool so easy, my wife loves it. It has a very smooth and easy handle. The release is easy and secure. Love it.

Have only used this product twice and now it’s broken and the part you push to staple is broken and won’t reset. This product is garbage.
