Overview

A double-leverage squeeze handle drives staples or brads through a rear-load magazine in this all-steel Arrow tool, finished in chrome. A viewing window shows the staples left, and a jam-resistant mechanism clears the stoppages.

One tool handles upholstery staples, small brads and, with the attachment, anchors in wood, masonry, metal and hollow doors. It is a manual tool, so heavy repeated work takes hand effort.

Who it's for

A hobbyist covering furniture, hanging insulation or building crafts will use the staple sizes and brad nailer. Professionals driving thousands of fasteners a day will want a powered nailer.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Staples and brads in one tool
  • Expando attachment included
  • Viewing window shows refill need
  • Cushioned non-slip grip
Cons
  • Staples sold separately
  • Manual effort for hard materials
  • Tool dimensions not given

Performance notes

A coil spring and hardened steel working parts store and release the driving force when the double-leverage handle is squeezed, which sets how firmly each staple sets. Fewer jams come from the jam-resistant mechanism, and the viewing window shows when to reload.
