Bought to replace an old Craftsman electric stapler that I can no longer find staples for. I chose the air rifle based on positive experience with air nail guns and was not disappointed. We used this stapler to flip a pool table and it worked great. With an electric stapler, I always had to hit many of the staples with a hammer to make sure they were flush. With this stapler, each staple was pressed firmly against the work surface. We had no problems with that. We used primarily 1/2" staples, and each was driven directly into the surface. We ran through at least 1,000 staples. I set the air compressor to about 110psi. This product was perfect for my needs.
