staple gun ?

[Club Billiards]

Excuse my ignorance but what's wrong with the t50 staple if the gun seats them properly?


After much research on electric, I bought this Italian stapler a few years back. http://www.amazon.com/Maestri-ME-El...ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1322415661&sr=1-1. I think I paid about $170 for it at the time. Curious what makes the air powered better? This one is works pretty darned well other than it jams more than I like. It's real light weight and the electric cord makes it flexible compared to an air hose. The staple is a bit narrower, is this a problem?

The electric staplers are much more expensive, they do jam more often and require more maintenance than air staplers. With air, you can also adjust the pressure for different materials, so it is a little more versatile.

Most of the electric staplers with that type of design would almost be impossible to recover most t-rails, the duo fast stapler is gonna be your best bet if you have to use a electric gun, but agian we all know the downside of using them

I have always wondered how my electric gun would hold up to reduced voltage to regulate the hammer. Use a light dimmer rheostat or such but may damage the motor, not sure. I have found over time it's possible to regulate the hammer with nose tension on the wood. Kind of let your wrist absorb some of the blow if the material is too soft. Reduced air pressure of course is much easier and that's a good answer to my question. Still wondering what's wrong with the T50 staple though.

I don't think anything is wrong with the T50 staples. They are a little bit more narrow, so they have less holding power than the 1/2 inchers, but that may not be a big factor. But I know for me I have a large stock pile of staples in different sizes that I always buy by the case. It would just be a matter of using all my old staples up and switching over. I keep an electric Duo-Fast gun in the truck just in case my compressor takes a crap or something else happens. I would have to find another electric backup staple gun that takes the T50 staples.

Really a big to-do about nothing. If you find a gun you like and can have access to the staples you need for the gun, use it. I like my OLD harbor freight 1/2 inch stapler and that is all. I have tried the new one with the T50 staples and it is a nice gun as well. The only difference is the frame of the new one is a little bigger. These are just simple cheap pneumatic staplers.

Rob, Thanks anyway. I am looking for a smaller gun than the Harbor freight. If anyone out there has any other brand pneumatic stapler that shoots the 1/2" crown staples post up some measurements.
