My electric stapler broke in the middle of a project after years of use. I bought this brand "Stanley" just because of the brand name, thinking I was getting some level of quality. If I owned Stanley Tools stock I would sell it immediately because its future is hazy based on the quality of this thing. He wouldn't even drive a 1/2 inch strut into a soft piece of 2x4 Douglas fir. What junk. If I hadn't needed it today to complete this project, it would have been sent back. I sometimes struggle to insert every third brace deep enough to do what I need to do, which is just hold a simple wire mesh.
