Review on Freeman P3SGK Heavy Staple Staples by Phillip Hoover

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stable, well-made tool in excellent packaging!

I saw the same packaging at Home Depot, but I didn't need that many items to meet the free shipping minimum. The same package was available from Revain for the same price, and the premium shipping eliminated the cost of shipping. I used a 3/4 inch chipboard stapler to make a 3x5 foot headboard for my queen bed frame. The stapler worked like a champ and never gave me any trouble, even adding the final layer while having to go through premium vinyl pads and 4 ounce batting. The clips went in easily with no hesitation, didn't move during headboard assembly and are still holding tight over a month later. I attached the headboard to the wall with a French bracket and had a very hard time lifting it because it was incredibly heavy once completed. No matter how many times I dropped or jerked the headboard to straighten it and let it rub against the wall while struggling with the uncomfortable weight, not a single brace popped out or loosened as far as I could tell. The included forklift is really necessary in my opinion. Needle-nosed pliers remove staples in an emergency, but not as easily or cleanly. I'm an avid seamstress and I don't know how I managed without a stapler for so long. If I needed it today, I would have no problem buying this set. I am also an avid buyer and appreciate it very much. I couldn't find a better deal or price considering there were staples, a very powerful construction stapler and a really good staple remover in the pack. I can't tell how this tool would perform on heavier projects, but while I had many regrets as I sweated and prayed for a homemade headboard, this stapler set wasn't one of them lol. Note that the instructions on the box are a bit sparse, but I was able to figure out how to charge the stapler after some trial and error, although I've never used it before.

Pros
  • Low staple loading window and bottom staples for quick and easy loading
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
