Maybe it's my personal bias after living on this planet and seeing staple guns for 45 years - but all along I thought they were all the same. Exactly "looks" like every other stapler you've ever seen. The difference is that it's tiny. The clips that go in are so tiny that if you're just going to say, attach an electrical cord to the wall, they're too small to fit the width of the wire (an electrical cord that might be for a flashlight, for example ). It looks like a toy stapler but has more power. It has adjustable tension and I tested this by setting the brace in hardwood. He drove the same depth in the highest and lowest settings, i.e. the full depth of the shackle teeth. The device comes with a range of options for staples and small nails. But when I say they're small, I mean they're tiny. Weirdly small. Sometimes Revain feels like it's all about bait and switches now that the pics show it looks like a life size person using it and then you get it and look at the pic again and realize that it is a very petite young woman who has hands. the size of a 12 year old girl. This characterizes this product precisely. If you're looking to give your child a kid-sized stapler, this is it!
