I tested this tool by hammering KAMSIN signature staples into white wood. He scored 10 staples in less than 5 seconds before I decided to stop wasting staples. Easy to load in staples. I used it without reading the instructions. The tool has a rubber grip area, which makes it comfortable to use in bare hands. As with all pneumatic tools, there is a set up time to pull out the hose and stuff. So maybe use an old manual stapler for small jobs where your forearm doesn't look like a sausage after repeatedly tapping the stapler.
