I love this tool. Don't know if you guys use a stapler for romex/nm or bx but i hate driving staples with a hammer and hitting my fingers. Anyone know of any other staplers out there?
I bought this on from ACME tools for 369.00 but then found on home depot site as a special buy for 200 so got the difference refunded. They must have gotten popular because I am not able to find it that cheap again, but still worth the price of 369.00.................... My son would like his own so I need to buy another

I'll stick with my $49 Arrow T75, TYVM.

I have one. If the strap staples are bent at all, it jams like crazy. Also does not snug up on a single 14/2.

eta: NM, company went bankrupt years ago. probably because of this stapler.

I'm with you on this. Even with this hand operated stapler, if you plan on using it regularly for every cable run you'll go broke buying staples. I generally use it for those tight areas in the basement where you have to run along the plate above a block wall. It's ideal for that purpose.

I have one by GB and really like it. It doesn't jam near as much as the silver one, Arrow maybe? that I had before.

The electric sounds nice, but that's 10x what I paid for the GB.

I have the GB but my guys can't seem to get used to using it.

It does takes quite a strong grip, and if you have your hand at a sharp angle, it's almost impossible to squeeze the lever in. I would like to be able to 'cock' the thing in a seperate move, and just hit a light trigger to 'fire' it. I would use it more if I could do that.

Design it to use cheaper staples, not jam, and you'd be a millionaire.

The strap gun I have never jams when I could just as easily have hand banged a staple, it decides to jam when I'm 50' into a crawlspace and have neither a hammer nor pocket of staples on me.

Regardless of the tool, it will always have one staple less than you really need.
