After reading the reviews I bought this stapler to dress up some plain bar height chairs in our corner/family room with faux cowhide. I used to only upholster once and used a cheap electric stapler that had no power and just killed my hands and didn't want to go through it again. I almost went for the pneumatic model but didn't want to buy a compressor and have all that bulk. This construction stapler is amazing. It's easy to use, download and has a real buzz. The clamp heads are smaller than others but hold up well. In fact, I really wouldn't want to rip them out because they seem so reliable. It lies comfortably in the hand, without dropouts, where you aim, it hits. It also has a nice long cord and was packaged securely with a nice carrying case. I restored the fronts of 6 chairs in one day and most of it consisted of removing the previous knobs and brackets. This tool made it so easy and the shape of the head allowed me to get into those hard to reach places. I look around for new projects and look forward to using it again! A month later: I just used my Roberts stapler to fix a very large cornice I had left on the wall and it was sooo easy! Although I didn't have much room to work at the top, I was able to insert the staples at an angle and they held so well. LOVE IT!
