Our verdict

A manual heavy duty staple gun that also drives brads and tacks cable, with a power lever for soft or hard materials. It is hand powered, so long jobs tire the grip.

Overview

Squeezing to drive staples, brads or cable tacks, the Stanley SharpShooter Plus works without air or batteries through an all-metal drive channel. A Hi/Lo lever sets power for soft or hard materials, and a flush nose reaches into tight corners.

Versatility without a compressor is the reason to buy: one hand tool handles upholstery, screen, wiring and light trim. The easy-slide full strip load and a window showing staple type speed reloads. The limit is that every fastener comes from your hand strength.

Who it's for

DIYers recovering chairs, hanging screen or tacking low-voltage wire get one tool for staples and brads. Trade users firing thousands of fasteners should move to a powered stapler.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Drives staples, brads and cable tacks
  • Takes common Arrow T-50 staples
  • Hi/Lo power for different materials
  • Flush nose for tight spots
Cons
  • Hand powered only
  • Staple leg lengths not listed
  • Squeezing tires the hand on big jobs
  • Brad sizes limited to short lengths

Performance notes

Driving power comes from the squeeze, transferred through the all-metal channel to the fastener. The Hi/Lo lever reduces force for softwood and fabric and raises it for denser material. The flush nose lets the staple land right against an edge or corner.
