Amazon Basics Heavy Duty 3-in-1 Staple Gun with 600 Staples (D, U & T Type), Adjustable Power, Durable Steel Body – Ideal for Upholstery, Carpentry, DIY Home Repairs, and Furniture Restoration

I bought this firstly to reupholster a very old footstool in need of a new cover. I chose this one based on good reviews, the Amazon brand name, and its reasonable price. It arrived in a sturdy cardboard box with a polystyrene inlay, shaped to hold the staple gun and box of staples, which I’ll keep to use as a handy storage case. Included is a very helpful, easy to read, and concise instruction booklet. The staple gun feels weighty, strong and fits comfortably in the hand. Turning the wheel at the top clockwise adjusts the force for tougher jobs, resulting in the staples firing into the material more powerfully. In the video above, the wood I put two staples into is very hard and solid, and as you can see they went in fully, quite easily. Turning the wheel anticlockwise delivers less force, so would be more suitable for delicate jobs. The handle is relatively easy to press if you are pushing it downwards onto a solid surface. Of course, as with any staple gun, using at arm's length reaching high up a wall could be more tricky. The three types of staples included are handy for various uses. The standard square-shaped are strong and work well. The U-shaped set are ideal for securing thin cables, and I have used these a few times already with good results. The “nails” are effectively panel pins, and differ in that they can be used two at a time (see photo above). They’re fired into the material 10 mm apart, so the same separation as the pins of each standard staple. All good so far. -Pros: • Strong build quality: Metal not plastic • Simple to use • Reasonably priced • 3 assorted staple types included • Effective on solid/hard materials • Adjustable power settings -Cons: • More staples would be helpful • No storage/carry case Overall, this is a first-class product; strong, reliable, effective, and easy to use. I would highly recommend it, so it’s five stars from me. Thanks for reading, I hope you found this review helpful

I went for the cheapest staple gun, expecting it to be flimsy but hoping it would get through the one job I needed it for. I was pleasantly surprised! This staple gun is solid and nicely heavy in your hand. It comes with a set of different shapes of staples and I used all 200 of the normal "goalpost" staples without any issues. These were going into strong plywood to cover a chair and it didn't miss a beat. I'd definitely recommend this and don't think you need to spend more money to get a decent staple gun!

I thought I'd done something wrong when I accidentally stapled my sock to the floor but when I couldn't get the staple out again my thought was " this thing really works". I elected not to staple any more clothes but this thing goes into wood very easily and is fairly user friendly to use. Would recommend

Good strong staple gun. Feels robust. It's managed everything thrown at it so far.

Manage to use 170 of 200 D shape staples until it started jamming and broke. Now I have to spent another 20 quids and wait for a week or so to finish my work. Cheap Chinese stuff, not reliable. For experimental use only.

Exactly as described

Broke after a short time

Works well, used it to put new rope on cat tree. Simple to use
