"I read all those 5-star reviews like it's about some other tool, really.
I got mine about a year ago. Laid around 800 sqf of solid 5/16 oak with it.
NOT A SINGLE PLANK WITHOUT A DEFECT. Absolutely terrible.
Only about 30% of shots are quite successful. About a half is where staple just gets barely sticked into the plank. those are easy to extract. Much worse if staple get jammed in the tool, you dont really see that, and it looks like a good shot on the plank. So with the next shot this tool will make a fancy knot from 2 or even 3 staples, screw the plank. Very often it fires two staples at onse, making nice knots again, very hard to get rid of.
During the year I tred several makes of staples, adjusted all possible things, but no good results still. I thought my tool is broken, so rented the same from small outlet. It worked no better. Yesterday I went to Home Depot to try renting from them. They said that tool worked SO PURELY that they do not rent it out anymore. They also said that most customers returned it without job done. Sort of relif for me :)
This tool was absolute disaster.
Why it /apparently/ worked for the others and not for me? Dunno. May be my solid oak planks just too hard.
I owned/used a number of other staplers, and this one gets 'the worst' prise by a huge margin."
