Why Choose This Tool?
-

-
Durable manual design offers reliable performance where pneumatic tools may not be practical
-
Lightweight and ergonomic for ease of use in moderate-volume manual fastening environments
Things to Know Before Buying
-
This is a manual tacker — best suited for moderate volume use rather than high-cycle production
-
Ensure you are using the correct staples (STCR5019 series) that match the leg-length range and crown specification
-
Though lightweight, operator ergonomics still matter during repetitive use — consider job rotation or support if use is heavy
-
For very thick or dense materials beyond the 9⁄16″ leg length, or for very high-volume use, a heavier duty or pneumatic model may be more efficient
