ROBERTS10-600 3/16" Crown, 120V, 15-Amp, 20 Gauge Electric Stapler with Carrying Case, Red and ROBERTS Economy Adjustable Knee Kicker,Black Bundle

If you are installing carpet on the stairs or anyplace that requires you to staple it down, this it the only tool you should buy. It is amazing at stapling and tacking and also not big and bulky. It is everything it says it is.

This stapler was a little heavy for me since I was only using one hand to staple the carpet while the other handheld the carpet tight on the nosing. However, it was worth it because it made the job of recovering the stairs go so much faster! I tried other electric staplers, and they wouldn't go deep enough to hold the carpet. I was going over the other carpet on the stairs and needed the power of the stapler to go through the old carpet and the new carpet. I think it was a great tool to add to workshop and plan on using it for upholstery and framing. I am not sure of the value, but I know for me it was really convenient because I didn't need an air compressor for the pneumatic stapler, I thought I was going to have to get. I highly recommend this stapler.

This was perfect for me to install a runner on my stairs. Very easy to load the staples and easy to use in general. You have to buy the staples separately.

Positives:I bought this for upholstery projects on antique (very hard and solid wood) furniture. It goes through thick folds of fabric with no problem at all. After doing 7 chairs with tons of staples, it only misfired once (one staple came out funky, but it didn't go in very far and was easy to remove). It has been very reliable. It's very powerful and is great when you are doing the difficult corner parts of upholstery projects. We were even able to use it on a wood detail project on a piece of furniture on which we put solid oak trim. It stapled right through the oak with no problem. We had been considering buying a nail gun, but this thing actually did the trick! It fires very quickly and can handle pretty rapid succession firing, so you can accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. It's about a million times better than a regular hand-powered stapler. It's a real workhorse.Negatives: Beware--if you mess up, then that staple is basically impossible to remove. So, you have to make sure you know what you're doing. Also, regular hardware stores do not carry the staples (we went to 3 major hardware stores after I ordered the wrong ones online, based on what other people had ordered with this item on Amazon, so apparently we were the blind leading the blind). You have to be sure to get 3/16" CROWN staples. The crown is the width of the top of the staple, not how deep it goes in. I was able to order the right ones online through a specialty staple store. I bought DUO-FAST 5412C 20 gauge 3/16" crown, 3/8" deep staples, and they work well. You can buy longer staples if you need it to go in deeper. The instructions for the staple gun specifically recommend DUO-FAST staples. Obviously, you should unplug the machine while reloading staples for safety reasons.Enjoy!

Is very good to install carpet specially on steps,you need little patience if you are fast installing Carpets on steps,if the wood is hard, it will jam up,but most of the staplers do that, but, this staplers has a good price, I will buy it again.

I decided to make things easier for my puppy who was afraid of walking up and down my hardwood staircase by installing a carpet runner for him. At first I though I would use my heavy duty manual staple gun, but after reading many blogs and watching youtube videos on the subject, I changed my mind. I looked into renting this model from Home Depot, but it cost almost as much for a week to rent as the price of this to buy here.So I ordered this, along with the recommended staples.This arrived within 2 days (Yay Prime!) and I was so excited to get started. Unfortunately, the required staples, found only here on Amazon, took MUCH longer to arrive. When the finally got here, I got out everything and began installing.I can honestly say that this stapler is a GODSEND for anyone installing a carpet runner on their staircase!! I had two runners that had to be bound together, and they were a pretty thick persian style, plus I had a comfy pad underneath. Also, my floors were a hard oak that were laquered in poly. This staple gun punctured through it all EASILY! I never had one jam either! Please note that if you make a mistake, as I did on my first row of staples, it is pretty tough to get them out (I used needle nose pliers). You cannot even see where I stapled..looks so professional! It only took me about an hour to install the runner, all thanks to this stapler!After my puppy watched me install the runner from behind the gate, I opened it and he ran up and down the stairs, so proud of himself for doing the stairs. I was also proud of myself for installing the runner, which turned out beautifully!

I bought this staple gun because it appeared to be well made and had allot of positive reviews. This gun only shoots the staples in about half way and then you have to hammer them in the rest of the way. It made a carpet job on our houseboat take about five times longer than it needed to be. A HUGE DISAAPOINTMENT!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Purchased this stapler and it broke in less then 20 uses. Screws starting falling out the first couple times i used it then the part that drives the stapler just failed one day and never worked again.

I have been renting a similar product and finally purchased my own. It works perfectly tacking down sisal runners.

Used 4 times, spring and pusher popped out making stapler useless.Will try to get money back or replacement. This item is not for professional use.

Drives staples very well ,lots of power but is a odd size 20 gauge all of my other tools (pneumatic) is 18 gauge. 20 gauge staples hard to find (usually special order) and more expensive and less variety, and has no safety will fire as soon as trigger is depressed. Keeping that in mind is still an awsome tool and I would recommended it .

Used this tool for commercial use at my job floor installation great deal works super
