Failed to load media. I am delighted with this upholstery stapler. It has a long nose for better access to hard-to-reach places. I use 71 series, 22 gauge fine wire staples. I use the same staples on my Porter cord stapler so it's good that I can use the same type of staples on both guns. I've tried sewing leather onto 3/8" and 1/2" hardwood and it hasn't failed. hit. Very stable clamping force with full setting flush at all times. watch the video
