Review on πŸ’ͺ Arrow Fastener PT50 Pneumatic Staple: Powerful and Efficient Stapling Made Easy by Jason Epstein

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Occasional use only

Many people will like this stapler. Easy to use. Doesn't stick and Arrow staples are easily accessible. A very big disadvantage is that the safety foot is too big and effectively blocks the view of where the clamps are placed. Other pneumatic staplers, like the Porter-Cable US58 1/4" to 5/8" 22-gauge C-Crown Pad Stapler, do not suffer from this design flaw but cost about three times as much. On the plus side, the cost of this Arrow stapler is the lowest price you can get at an upholstery shop. So here's my take: If you need an air stapler on a regular basis, this is a frustratingly inefficient piece of equipment. However, if you rarely need to break it, the cost speaks for itself.

Pros
  • Can be used with compressors up to 120psi (60-100psi recommended)
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
