Yes, electric staple guns are more powerful. They are also faster and easier to use than manual staple guns.
There is some confusion when it comes to T50 and T55 staples because they are often thought to be the same. However, they are actually two different types of staples. T50 staples are made of steel and have a chisel point, while T55 staples are made of stainless steel and have a needle point.
There are some staplers that are designed to staple wood, but a regular stapler cannot. The staples that a regular stapler uses are not strong enough to pierce through wood.

Overall, a good product. Anyone thinking about switching from their pneumatic stapler to this pistol will find that it is substantially heavier and bulkier. It operates effectively and drives staples. I've discovered that it does not provide precise positioning, and practice will provide you with the necessary outcomes.

This Chinese-made stapler is less expensive than several boxes of staples at under $22. It came quickly and in nice shape.INCLUDED IN THE BOXAlong with the stapler, you also receive a plastic carrying box, two hex keys, a tiny, inexpensive bottle of air tool oil, and an instruction manual. Staples are not included; you must purchase them separately.A CASEFor the price of this instrument, the plastic case is superior to what I had anticipated. Although not perfectly, the tool sort of fits in the case. It appears as though Wen decided to forgo further design improvement in order to save money.EL PIOYou get what should be pneumatic oil in a little, unmarked bottle. To use it, you would need to remove the spout from the bottle, flip it over so the pointed end is out, then puncture it with a pin. I didn't use the offered bottle of pneumatic oil because I already had one that was open, but I still give Wen credit for supplying it.THE HECTOR KEYSThe two provided hex keys, which are kept within the case, haven't yet been put to use. They are referred to as "S3 Hex Keys" and "S4 Hex Keys" in the operating instructions. They seem to be typical 3 mm and 4 mm hex keys, but I'm not sure what the "S" prefix means. The magazine assembly employs 3 mm socket screws, while the body of the stapler includes multiple 4 mm socket screws.THE GUIDELINESThe operational guidelines aren't terrible. They are composed of two 8.5" x 11" sheets that are folded in half and stapled together to create an 8-page 8.5" x 5.5" booklet. They are written in American English. It comprises a total of five tables and four figures, which includes an exploded view drawing and a parts list, in my estimation. A one-year limited guarantee against defects for non-commercial usage is included in the insert, along with a purchase receipt. For business or rental use, there is only a 30-day limited warranty available. The phone number for Wen's customer service department is also listed on a sticker on the front of the manual, along with a warning not to return the item to the retailer. The only sections of the operating instructions that specifically refer to Wen are this sticker and the warranty insert; the remainder is written anonymously for a generic air stapler model 61710.A STAPLERThe tool is pre-assembled and is ready to drive staples after connecting to an air supply, loading staples, and adding a few drops of oil.Die-cast metal makes up the tool's body, which is painted blue and has the Wen logos on it. Steel and plastic are just two of the other materials used to make other components. The handle is covered in a rubber "soft-grip sleeve" with raised dots for texture. (I'm reminded of pips-out rubber on a ping-pong paddle by those dots.) It weighs a few ounces less than three pounds and has good heft. It fits comfortably in the hand. Considering that, Wen certifies that this tool satisfies all EU safety, health, and environmental regulations by placing a CE-mark label on it.There are three extra features:1. A window with a scale on the fixed magazine's side that shows how many staples are still in the magazine before it needs to be reloaded.2. An adjustable exhaust deflector that sits atop the tool and is made of a black plastic cap (exhaust cover). Two holes in the side of the cap direct the exhaust typically in the direction of the tool's front, away from the user. But the exhaust cover may be moved 360 degrees with a little push since a socket screw is located in the center of it.3. The catch on the tool's nose is made to make it simple to unjam staples. I haven't yet needed to utilize it.A setting that controls the driving depth is a feature I had hoped for but is absent from this product. It does not have a "variable depth control for rapid countersinking adjustment," as stated in the Amazon product description. The only way to change the driving depth is to change the air pressure in the regulator.The operating instructions appear to be unclear concerning the depth adjustment as well. This tool is outfitted with a safe bracket that can adjust the driver's depth, according to the twenty-first safety warning. Disconnect the tool from the air before turning the nut with your thumb until it is in a good position while changing the depth of the driver. However, I believe that these safety warnings were simply boilerplate copied from the manual of some other tool. There is no adjustment nut on the safe bracket. The exploded view graphic and parts list do not include any. Additionally, the "using the tool" part of the instructions states, "Test the driving depth in a sample piece of wood before utilizing. Adjust the regulator to provide less or more air pressure if the fasteners are being driven too far or too little.The product has no serial number, and the model number is simply printed on a sticker.The SpursAs I already indicated, you'll need to purchase staples separately because the tool doesn't come with any. The device employs 1/4" crown, 3/8" to 1" long, 18-gauge staples. I spent roughly $18 for a box of 5,000 5/8" x 1/4" (15 mm x 6 mm) galvanized staples from the Fas'ners-Unlimited brand at a nearby Lowe's home center. They were snug and efficient. The staples were driven just below the surface of 1/4" lauan over 3/4" birch plywood while I was using roughly 72 PSI from a small DeWalt compressor.These staples were initially put to use by me to secure the back of a bookshelf that had become loose in a few spots. Previously, brads had been used to secure it. I've found that staples work far better than brads for this purpose.OPERATIONMy stapler appears to be functioning OK so far. There have been no jams and all of my test shots have been successful.There were a few misfires when stapling into the back of a bookcase, but perhaps the safety in the tool's nose wasn't always getting fully depressed. I also discovered a staple I needed to explore deeper. The reason that one was higher is unknown to me, however it might have been due to a drop in air pressure during vigorous use.DURABILITYAlthough I'm still unsure of how long it will survive, this Wen stapler looks to be manufactured well enough that it should. I was initially alarmed when I noticed some brown markings on the tool's yellow-painted snout that appeared to be rusty scratches in the paint. However, they removed easily, exposing flawless yellow paint underneath, indicating that they were most likely caused by grease. The 30-day restriction on the commercial-use guarantee would also be a worry if I intended to utilize this tool for business purposes.CONCLUSIONSI used to use a more expensive Hitachi brad nailer, which emanates quality, when I used pneumatic equipment. I'd give this Wen stapler a score of 7 for features, 8 for build quality, and 8 for value on a scale of 0 to 10. It seems nicely manufactured, but I don't have enough experience with it to evaluate its long-term dependability. It's quite acceptable to suggest it for sporadic non-commercial use. I'd advise investing in a stapler with a depth adjustment for prolonged use.

This was bought to apply 5/8 plywood underlayment before installing linoleum flooring. Since narrow crown staples are typically suggested for use in securing 1/4 underlayment, I was dubious that it would go through material that thickness.I'm happy to report that this worked excellently and probably could have easily fired through board that was at least an inch thick. I quickly went through 1500 staples in pressure firing mode. Not a single misfire, and I only came across ONE staple that needed a little extra countersinking. Exceptionally strong performance.Generally speaking: Metabo/Hitachi produces several excellent tools. Some of the greatest prices on the market can be found with their pneumatic nail and staple guns. Metabo/Hitachi tools have recently impressed me on every occasion, and from the aspect of sheer value, they might be the greatest deal available.I have no qualms about recommending this to anyone.

It's quite simple to load, and you can aim the staple to place it just where you want it. Clearly made to be tough, but lightweight. Since I don't use a stapler often, I bought a Horrible Fright stapler for less than half the price of this one when my decades-old Porter Cable stapler finally broke. However, it malfunctioned by firing multiple staples with a single pull of the trigger, so I returned it and ordered this one instead. I'm glad I did because I'll have this one for a very long time (I also have a Dewalt 16 gauge finish nailer that I bought last year when my other decades-old Porter Cable nailer gave out, I love it so much that I decided to buy the DW stapler too). Oh, and this one has a one-year warranty despite being "Renewed," which I think means rebuilt, and looking and working like brand-new. This stapler comes highly recommended.

I own a home and consider myself to be an intermediate do-it-yourselfer. As a flooring installer, I'm not skilled. In order to lay an engineered hardwood floor (0.5" x 7.5" x 8') in my house without hiring a professional installer, I bought the EHF1838K flooring stapler. The flooring manufacturer had recommended the stapler, and based on the evaluations, I was convinced it would be useful in my situation. I initially built 600 square feet using the advised staple spacing. Throughout the entire project, there were no misfires, jams, or loosening or misalignment of the tongue engagement jig. The tongue engagement jig was helpful in lining up the staple with the flooring groove because it was simple to alter. Every time, it landed square and sturdy. It was simple to load the magazine. The initial pressure adjustment needed to dial in the proper staple penetration was promptly and precisely handled by the stapler. My skill level and confidence had increased after putting in the first few rows of flooring to the point where I could dramatically speed up the stapling rate without running the risk of making mistakes or stapling my big toe to the floor. Finally, it functioned better than I had anticipated given my lack of experience. The tool supported me rather than opposed me. I was unable to find any performance or design problems. It will blend in well with the rest of the house, I'm sure of that. Whether it sounds corny or not, using this tool allowed me to finish a flooring project in my house the first time on my own, saving me a sizable amount of money. Buy it.

I placed this order despite the negative reviews. I have a several staplers, but this one is the lightest of them all. I really enjoy how the belt hook rotates. I haven't encountered a problem. I use between 90 and 100 psi. If you lower the pressure to change the depth, I believe awful things might ensue. Because they lacked a depth adjustment, my old Bostich Roof guns used to behave in that manner. So maintain a high PSI and modify the depth. I have successfully shot this into southern yellow pine, which is nearly tough to hand knock into. possibly one jam. But I also don't have a gun that doesn't occasionally jam. I have no issues installing 20 square feet of 3/4-inch sheathing into yellow wood in 4 hours because to the performance and lightweight design.

This device is effective. It hasn't misfired once in the thousands of staples I've used it for. It has a lot of force and can even knot staples. Batteries should be more explicitly stated in the documentation. When I received this and discovered that the batteries cost almost as much as the stapler, I was a little miffed. Batteries are not included, according to the small language on the box the stapler is packaged in. I have used this with recent Arrow T-50 staples with perfect success, in response to those who have complained that they are slightly different and problematic.

It's wonderful that you can use the same batteries with your nail gun as many of my other Dewalt products and that you don't need a compressor. Works perfectly!

There are many different types of wood staples, but the most common are T-shaped, U-shaped, and V-shaped. T-shaped staples are the most common type of wood staple and are used to fasten two pieces of wood together. U-shaped staples are used to fasten three pieces of wood together, and V-shaped staples are used to fasten four pieces of wood together.
T50 staples are a type of fastener that is used to join two pieces of wood together. The name comes from the fact that they have a 50-pound holding strength. This makes them ideal for use in construction projects where a strong bond is needed.
