hand staple guns

| Posted in Tools for Home Building on

The hand staple guns that I own either squeeze hard or jam frequently.Has anyone had experience with European staplers such as the Rapid. Where can these be purchased and will they accept arrow staples.
Thank you.-Slugo

    Slugo,

    Just get an electric. I have had an Arrow for about three years now, and my mechanical stapler has hardly seen the light of day since. Get the contractor model, it has a generous 8 ft. cord. The handy homeowner model has a stumpy 3 inch cord, and I'm sure isn't built as well.
