Things to Know Before Buying

• This is a manual tool; for very high-volume or power-intensive jobs a pneumatic model may be more efficient

• Ensure your staple selection matches the crown width (7⁄16″) and leg range (¼″-9⁄16″) to get optimal performance

• While lightweight, repeated use still benefits from good ergonomics and occasional breaks

• Review the material stack you’re fastening—very thick or dense materials may require a larger tacker or different staple type
