Great value for money for a power tool

Good quality tool runs smoothly and is easy to control. You can't ask for more at this price. I really like Wen. I think a roll top nailer is next on my list.

Pros
  • Quick release mechanism makes clearing paper jams easier
Cons
  • I'll write later

Well made tool. suitable for staplers

So much for a good tool. Haven't used it extensively yet, but it's well made and shoots staples pretty well. However, it does have a unique exhaust sound after the clip is fired. Instead of the usual "catchii" sound, it sounds "catchpfuoo". Almost flatulence. Maybe it's because it's new and the o-rings are tight? IDK, but still works fine. Seems like a good buy for a quality product. The time will show.

Pros
  • Spacious magazine holds up to 100 fasteners at the same time
Cons
  • Drill-out packaging

Poor quality tolerances and workmanship

Surprised by other comments. I have this and an inexpensive Banks 18g stapler from Harbor Freight bought. The moving parts of the wen look and feel weaker. However, the textured finish of the wen looks better. This is top loading (on the pole) versus bottom loading cans. I prefer that Bottom loading as it's easier to dump. I've tried several ΒΎ" staples at 90 and 60 psi. Freight buying, that's saying something.) I own at least half a dozen Wen bench and hand tools, including one Wen nailer I…

Pros
  • Has a 360 degree adjustable air outlet and 1/4" NPT inlet
Cons
  • Not bad but...
