ROBERTS 10-600 3/16" Crown, 120V, 15-Amp, 20 Gauge Electric Stapler with Carrying Case, Red

Great electric stapler for installing runner on stairs!!

The best stapler I have ever used!!!

Good price

Thing works great - use it for DYI chair upholstery. I was drawn to this one because it said the head was longer and thinner for creases. For me - it could be another 1/2 or 3/4" to work better.In addition and in my opinion, this is a powerful tool and does NOT have a safety on it. I found myself unplugging it every time I sat it down because it's frightening how much pressure is behind those staples and how one could easily get hurt. In addition - when you pull the trigger the first time, hold on tight. There's a lot of "kick" that I didn't realize would be there. To get the staples in tight and correctly, you must hold the gun tight to the piece and press or the kick is going to render a half embedded staple...and you'll be pulling them out and starting again on the same spot.I cover some odd chairs just for fun and this thing is my right hand now...LOVE IT!

Great carpet tool, great quality and it does what its supposed to do, staples padding and carpeting into place! Perfect for tight spots and when wrapping stairs. Many other uses!

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!

After reading the reviews, I bought this, as my electric upholstery stapler had just given up the ghost, and I have a couple of big jobs this week. Ordered on Friday, showed up two hours ago on Sunday evening. Gotta love prime. Decided on this based on reviews and Prime shipping, as the other brand I normally use isn't on Amazon and it won't show up until Thursday or Friday. Nice blow molded case, gun felt good in hand and seemed to be solidly built. Much to my extreme disappointment, the Roberts stapler failed on the VERY FIRST TRIGGER pull. Seriously. Took it out of the box, loaded it, plugged it in, and pulled the trigger. It fired, and something broke internally, because the anvil won't retract/reset. NOTHING in the instructions about what to do if that happens, so I figured it meant it was dead. I'm not taking a brand new gun apart to see what happened. Boxed it right back up, filed a return, and dropped it off at Kohl's Amazon return less than two hours after it was delivered. Fluke? Maybe. Buyer beware is all I can say.

Nice
