Overview
The Arrow T59 is a staple gun, built to drive staples by hand for jobs like upholstery, insulation, screening and light home repair. At around 2 pounds it's light enough for extended one handed use.
Arrow's T-series staple guns are built around a manual squeeze action that drives a staple with each pull, no compressor or battery involved. That makes the T59 a grab and go option for small stapling jobs around the house or shop, rather than a tool suited to continuous, high volume production stapling.
- Manual hand operated staple gun
- About 2 pounds
- No compressor or battery required
- Suited to home and light repair stapling
Who it's for
Suits homeowners and DIYers doing upholstery, insulation, screen or light repair stapling. Not built for continuous, high volume commercial stapling, where a pneumatic or electric stapler would keep up better.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- No compressor, battery or cord needed
- Light enough for extended one handed use
- Handles a range of small stapling jobs around the house
- Manual action limits output on large jobs
- No staple size or magazine capacity listed
- Not suited to continuous production stapling
Performance notes
Manual staple guns like this one work by squeezing a spring loaded handle, which drives a staple with each pull rather than relying on compressed air or a motor. That keeps the tool simple and always ready to use, though it also means output is limited to what your hand can keep up with over a long job.
