After using this for a few weeks I wonder how I've survived without a hammer stapler for so long. In the past I have crawled on all fours with a construction stapler to hold landscape fabric together in the garden and greenhouse. Now I can do the same job in about 1/10th the time and my knees and wrists don't hurt. I have three sizes of staples that are used for a variety of tasks and all feed reliably. As a bonus, the hammer stapler can load two full staples, reducing the need to reload. Several companies make hammer staplers, but this one seems to be the most durable.
