 Never jams, but pretty weak October 14, 2008
Works great for putting 1/4" staples through thin material. But if you are trying to put 1/2" staples through even a few layers of paper or fabric, bring your hammer, because you have to help the staples for the last 1/8 to 1/4". And of course, the staples will just bend then.
Tried to use this to tack roofing paper down and most recently for reupholstering some dining room chairs. Again, the 1/4" staples worked fine, but once the fabric was double in places, the 1/4" wasn't long enough, and the 1/2" didn't go in all the way. And yeah, I was leanin' on it too.
But it does never jam.
 Great stapler September 20, 2008
Excellent staple gun. I use it for putting up targets at the range (and stapling the cardboard backing to wooden stands) and it's very reliable. I would highly recommend it. The only minor issue is that 1250 staples are $2, but shipping for them is $6, and they're hard to come by elsewhere.
 Once Quality, Now Junk! June 14, 2008

The Arrow T50 staple gun used to be a simple, dependable tool. I had one for 20 years and never had a problem with it. My staple gun disappeared from the job site, now I know why -- the old ones worked, the new ones are junk! After 2 hours of frustration trying to tack insulation, jams every few minutes with Arrow brand staples -- I took a hammer to it! Save your money and buy something else!

O.k, all I was trying to do was build a "cat condo"! I simply needed a staple gun to staple the carpet to some wood. I remember my dad had a staple gun that worked great, and would shoot staples across the garage. So I went to Home Depot to get a staple gun. I found the Arrow T50 that looked pretty familiar, so I bought it along with two boxes of different size staples. I took it home, loaded some staples in, and could not get it to work. I tried to hold it at different angles, and tried everything I could think of. It finally started shooting staples, but only about 1 out of five would work...So back to Home Depot I went. I returned the thing along with the remaining staples, and hoped to find a "better" one. There were not really many other options, so I thought I would try another one! So I bought another T50 along with more staples. I took it home and again immediately had problems. I loaded the staples and it didn't work! I tried to remove the staples, but they seemed stuck. I tried to use it again, and eventually got some stapling done. I tried to load the second round of staples, and it jammed completely, and would not work at all. I just don't know why this thing won't work. I have the correct T50 staples of different lengths, and none seem to work correctly. I believe this is similar to the one I remember from long ago, except I remember the staples being wider. I don't know how Arrow could have made these things this long, and yet they work so badly. Did they change the design? Did they cheapen the parts? So I have to go back to the Depot again for the return. Maybe I'll see what Lowe's has. Stanley also makes a stapler, so maybe I'll give Sears a try too.
Jams about every 4th staple! November 23, 2007

as someone else said, perhaps it is only the particular one I was unfortunate enough to buy, but this is maddening to use this tool. I'm at the Amazon website right now looking for a replacement.
