I have a very old stapler from another brand that I haven't use in a while, happened that when I was needing to make a home-project and started looking for staple refills I couldn't find those specific ones that I was looking for. I was very disappointed when I realized I had to get a new one but hey! this handy thing its a 2in1 tool and when I was done with my project I totally love this T50PBN. My wife loves it too because It weights probably 1/3 less than my old one but its actually a strong tool, I was working for hours with it with no hassle and since working parts are made out of hardened steel I expected it to last for a while. I definitely recommend this product.

Sorry. I grew up shooting a painted red steel Arrow stapler in the 1960's. It was problematic then. It's 2012 and this T-50PBN unit looks heavy duty and the fit and finish looks good... but, I shot about 15 1/4" Arrow T-50 staples and it jammed 8 times. When I was shooting 3/8" staples for tacking chicken wire it jammed about 5-10% of the time. Into the Goodwill box so at least I can get a tax deduction. Looking for a more reliable brand.

Comments about ARROW FASTENER Arrow® Professional Staple/Nail Gun (T50pbn):
I purchased the higher end T50 model to install insulation in the loft and walls of my garage.
I have a regular T-50 and a BD electric stapler, this new Arrow stapler is made for what I had intended, it was hard to get around in the loft, this stapler made the job much easier....well worth the extra money
Comments about ARROW FASTENER Arrow® Professional Staple/Nail Gun (T50pbn):
Love my T-50, I've had one for 30 years and still going strong after thousands of event instals... Upgraded to the PBN for the brad nailing function and found it incredibly dumb that the 1 page manual doesn't even mention the brad function or how to load them (and it is not obvious). I went online and there is nothing to help. I toyed around and finally figured it out. You put it where the staples go, but only on the leftmost side, where the left leg of the staples would go (of course now it seems obvious but for someone who has used almost every type of stapler in a professional setting, it took a while to figure out). What I cannot figure out is why arrow offers this specialty tool and doesn't inform how to use the specialty function. Love the product. Only drawback is that it is hard to trigger for people with small or weak hands.

As a woman I preferred the Power Shot, but that stapler broke on me. I was really bummed. Since the Power Shot failed I figured I better stick with the traditional style. The problem is that is requires a lot of hand strength to work. That's why I only give it an Average for design and ease of use. The quality is excellent. These staplers never seem to break (except of the Power Shots!) Trying to steady the stapler and squeeze the handle are tough. Other brands have the same issue though. Maybe they will design a battery operated one for those of us with weaker hands.

I purchased this stapler as a second Arrow product and I have had nothing but good things to say about my old Arrow stapler and my new one. The stapling action of this one is a little easier than my used one, but that being said my other is well over 15+ years old. Very satisfied and would recommend to any professional remodeler or contractor out there.

Comments about ARROW FASTENER Arrow® Professional Staple/Nail Gun (T50pbn):
Ive had this stapler for years and often take it out to use, but always remember when I do take it out, why i don't keep it out. Every time I use it it jams up. I can see a staple stuck deep down inside the shaft with no way to get it out. Of course I don't have the manual or purchase receipt anymore, but as I sit here frustrated that I can't complete my project I wonder why I still keep this thing.

Comments about ARROW FASTENER Arrow® Professional Staple/Nail Gun (T50pbn):
I like the stapler. I used it for a difficult job, and it performed well with no jams or problems. The only reason I did no rate it more highly is that I have small hands, and the spread between the bar and the hand grip was a bit too big for my hands, which resulted in more effort and tiring of the hands sooner than would have happened if the grip gap would have been smaller. Other than that, the stapler performed like a champ. I haven't used it yet for brads.

Purchased this years ago and it misfired all the time, at least 95%. Was so frustrated I put it in back in the package and forgot about it. I found it one day and when I tried to use it, it reminded me why it was brand new looking. Clearly way past the return period. Junk!! Not sure why some of these made are great, and yet others are junk!! I haven't bought a Arrow product since.

The first staple of the first T50 staples jammed and after an hour I have yet been able to un-jam it. Looks like I'll need to take apart the entire stapler to clear it or buy needle nose pliers small enough to penetrate the ejection slot. Unfortunate and frustrating.

Maybe expected too much after using a T50 for years. Which was excellent but I lost it. The T50PBN jams a lot, not sure why? Then I'll waste at least 3 to 5 staples to unjam it. Only used it with Arrow staples.

This stapler jams, doesn't get the staples into the wood 9x's out of 10. I am trying to reupholster a chair and have more staples on the floor than in the in the chair. It is very frustrating to try to do a project with inferior tools. I will never buy an Arrow again but I have already spent my money on junk and don't have money to get something that actually works.

The T-50 stapler has been a dependable tool for decades, I have bought several because they grow legs and disappear of I am on a job and don't have one when I need it. I wish you would make your Stainless Steel staples in bulk packs, this is the only staple we can use in a high magnetic field environment.
