Arrow P22 Heavy Duty Handheld Plier Stapler for Crafts, Office, and Insulation, Uses 1/4-Inch and 5/16-Inch Staples

Fits my needs well

Did not rate ease of use as it broke before I ever got to use it. The first time I put the P22 staples in it, which were not easy to find by the way, it jammed and was broken. Since I did not adequately read the ad…I failed to note that it does NOT come with staples, which is on me. Went lowes and Home Depot, in spite of the implication or actual verbiage in the ad as I read it at the time, of being “Heavy duty”…. No home improvement centers near me sell the required staples. So it took me a month to look and eventually have to come back to amazon to buy said p22 staples at 5/16th inch legs. Not even once has that speaker worked. I am so fed up because at the time I ordered which was a couple weeks ago, it was 18 dollars for 1 box of 5050 staples or the most inexpensive as I found on hee was 14 for 3 boxes. Ok fine…I’ll buy 3 boxes.so now 15150 staples deep and no lunch. It harmed first time out and has not worked since except when my boyfriend tweaked the plunger which pushes the staples into place. Its junk. I regret that I did not read reviews and no other staplers take those size or diameter of staples so I; stuck with a bunk stapler and over 15 thousand unusable staples and this is a waste of time/money. To the seller, thank you for delivering timely, etc and its not a dis on you. Its a dis on the manufacturer. Screw them. Pls sell something better because I think you are doing good on the business end. Just the product sucks.

I make sparkle balls with this stapler very quickly. I bought it for that reason. Sparkle balls are Christmas decorations you make with plastic cups and Christmas lights. So basically it is stapling plastic cups together very well without cracking them. I can make a sparkle ball in about 45 minutes with this stapler, whereas it took me over an hour with other staplers and I was often having to pull out the staples and correct the positions. Not with this one. It is very accurate and reliable. I haven't used it for anything else but sparkle balls. But I am sure if I needed to use it for many stacks of paper, it would work extremely well too. Someone that runs a sparkle ball site told me to get this stapler as it is the best one.Update 12/15/16:Still using this stapler and it is still going strong. Probably wasn't made in China like so many other products I have bought on Amazon that break way too quickly. For instance, can openers.So far this thing is very heavy duty, easy to use and does what it is supposed to do.

This is a good value, will last a lifetime, and is for stabling thicker items, closing bags, etc. If you have that situation DO get this. It's simple and doesn't jam. I had before another brand but it only held 20 stabples, This holds a whole row of staples. I did not order it with the P22 staples coming in 2 sizes. I was a bit miffed finding NO office stores, Home Depot, or Lowes carried this staple. Other sizes just won't fit. It says on it's side, only use that brand of staple and it means it. But, when I found the boxes of staples were so cheap at Amazon, I ordered several boxes in both sizes. I like the grip: with arthritis there is a good full handle, it is not hard to punch. I remember as a kid having this in a grocery store to use, and it's still there. Over more "modern looking" staplers, this one is a "machine". Chromed, no rust. Buy this for crafts, shop, home......buy the staples.....YOu won't regret it.

What a waste…I’ve bought 5 different kinds of staples and not a single kind actually fits in this thing. The description for the types of staples this stapler is supposed to take is completely misleading. I bought both kind and neither fit. Who makes a product that doesn’t fit any of the staples on the market. Save your money.**If you buy the arrow P22 staples they actually work and it staples quite nicely. It’s just frustrating that only their brand of staples fit the product and they don’t seem to be sold in stores.**

la engrapadora es muy practica para trabajar lo unico malo fue que solo me dura trabajando bien solo dos semanas! ahora se atasca la engrapa much! aunque ya la limpie los rieles no mejoro el problema!

Worked well for about 3 weeks then began to jam. Yes I am using the correct size of staples which is very specific to this stapler. Expected a lot more from an expensive unit like this but was very disappointed.

Purchased May 8, 2022, that's when the Bostitch P3 went into the garbage can. (See review.) The USA Arrow P-22 is well-made -- I expect that it will do the job on-going.One caution, however, you will need to purchase Genuine Arrow P-22 staples. Bostitch, Office Depot and Swingline staples will not feed (too tight on bar), even as they are boxed as 6 mm, same as Arrow.The loop handle on the P-22 prevents accidental upside-down use. The stapler action has a trigger-like break -- almost as if it were designed by a gunsmith. At this writing, the Arrow is actually a bit cheaper than the Bostitch. This is the one you want.
