STANLEY Electric Staple/Nail Gun STA 0-TRE550 / TR550
Excellent well built staple / nail gun. Adjustable power for different types of base material. Can staple or nail into wood or other soft based structure in order to make repairs or to fix things together in order to stabilise them. Useful for upholstery work and general woodworking as it can fire nails deep enough to secure spindles on chairs or stairs. It is a good solid piece of kit and you are assured of the quality of your work when you pull the trigger. The solid 'clunk' as you staple or nail tells you that you have done another good job.Read full review

Frustratingly intermittent
Overall the product was a little disappointing, however I did manage to use it throughout the project I was undertaking.
On a plus point it is light weight, ergonomically easy to use, well made and good value for money.
My reason for the low rating is that, on average, one in every three times I pressed the trigger there was no response which became frustrating. I repeatedly found myself changing the angle of the gun, opening up the staple compartment to check for jams and switching it off to try to get it to work.
But with perseverance I eventually achieved what I set out to do and got a satisfying result.

Looks good, many issues!
Good thing I'm a competent home electrician.
It looks good and well designed and worked perfectly for the first of six chairs I was recovering. Then the trigger stopped working, disassembly followed. Three issues emerged. The wires to the trigger were loose, intermittent contact, the sensor for microswitch was positioned wrongly, again intermittent contact. Finally the metal blade that impels the staple was jamming on the guide/guard which had a rough finish and needed refinishing.
Having fixed all that it is now an excellent piece of kit, badly let down by poor assembly! Really can't recommend it! Read full review

great stapler
getting into the wrapped up stapler proved difficult. even using scissors to cut the plastice cover was tough. had to be careful not to cut myself on sharp plastice edges. was also disappointed to find that no starter staples or nails were included. i had to rush out to the local diy store in a storm getting soaked and cold. however the gun itelf is worth the money does the job well its easy to use no complicated instructions. instructions are in tiny print could do with being bigger. all in all pleased with purchase and it will get plenty of use.Read full review

Ideal DIY tool.
I bought this tool for a project in was doing, firstly because of the good value it represented and because it's made by a well known and trusted manufacturer, I found the tool very easy to use and extremely well made and efficient in its action so much so that it has inspired me to use it for more projects and repairs around the house, I have found it so useful and effective that I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone requiring a good value staple/nail gun.

Amazing Stapler
Having only used a hand stapler before, I was amazed at the power of this tool. Pair it up with the correct Stanley staples and it fires the staples straight into mdf or plywood. There is a power control which increases the force the staples are inserted. I have just finished the re-upholstery in my motorhome and put 2,000 staples through this machine over a weekend. At £20 it is a bargain and save yourself the hassle of ever using a hand stapler again!Read full review
