Overview
A craft drawer or toolbox is where this compact steel staple gun lives, loading from the bottom with a pinch release to clear jams. A handle lock secures it between jobs, and it uses Arrow JT21 staples.
Light weight and a small body cut hand fatigue during repeated use around the house, and the bottom-load magazine speeds reloading. Staples are sold separately, and the tool is rated for light-duty work only.
Who it's for
A crafter or homeowner fastening fabric, paper and thin materials will use the compact body and quick reload. Contractors and upholsterers handling dense materials need a heavy-duty staple gun.
Pros and cons
- Compact and lightweight
- Pinch release clears jams
- Handle lock for storage
- Staples sold separately
- Limited to JT21 thin wire staples
Performance notes
A squeeze handle drives each staple, and the thin wire JT21 staples are small enough to sink into fabric, paper and soft materials. Pinch-release access makes it easier to clear a jam without tools.
