In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
Are you trying to re-upholster your favorite chair, or keep your door frames attached to the wall? A staple gun can do all of this and more. This is a device you need for attaching things in the most durable way possible. First, let’s take a look at the things you’re going to need to know before you go shopping for your new DIY tool. After, check out our staple gun reviews to point you in the right direction!
Type: Some staple guns are powered by electricity, while others have to be depressed manually to put the staples where they need to go. Electric or cordless guns will be more powerful and have more heavy-duty applications than manual ones.
Staple Sizes: There are different staple sizes available. Each type of staple is made for a different job; for example, carpentry staples are thicker than upholstery staples. Get a gun that is made for the type of staple you’re using.
Material: This refers to what the staple gun is made out of. Most are made of steel or aluminum in some capacity. The materials have to be durable and ready to stand up to heavy use on a frequent basis.
Weight: How heavy is the gun? If you’re going to be using it for longer periods, a lighter one is going to go easier on you. Keep in mind that this is the weight before the staples are added.
Size: You won’t want a huge stapler gun for a small project. Some upholstery jobs can use a smaller gun just fine, as long as it can use the staples you need. Keep your purpose in mind when shopping.
Warranty: You need to know that what you’re purchasing is going to work right. A warranty protects you from manufacturing defects. If it fails to work, you could get the unit replaced or your money refunded. It’s a good deal!
