Rating Summary
This is a good, decent stapler to have on hand for projects where it's easier to staple to fasten it down rather than using screws or nails. We had these to use at the local scene shop in the theater department which allowed us to staple down the scrim for backdrops. Making these backdrops was quick...

I purchased this stapler with the thought and expectation that it would be something special, but it reality it was a let-doen and a big disappointment!
This stapler lack the firing power to shoot staples all the way in. It sometimes works on soft maple, but any other woods forget it!
It also has a...

Craftsman Stapler/Brad Nailer, All-Purpose,... Reviews
My husband has had this staple gun for several years, and had bought it for general home improvements. It's lightweight and easy to use (so even if you're a woman it's 'user friendly'), and it also does the nail brads as well! Unfortunately, we aren't able to find the staples or nail brads unless you go to a store where Craftsman is sold. However, we love it and would definately recommend it - it's a great value for the money!
This is the easiest stapler ever.Would recommend to anyone.
Although I have only used this to put some lights up outside the apartment it worked great. I was able to quickly load in the staples and go. I did notice that there was a nice metal piece on the front that extend and retracts that allowed me to put staples in over the light wire without risking cutting into the wire. (it extends to prevent the staples from going fully to the surface).
Overall this was light and easy to use. I am curious to see how well it works with brad nails ... time to go find a project.
THE GOOD:
This is the most comfortable stapler I've ever owned. I've never used a workshop stapler that fired as smoothly as this. I've used it to staple up targets at the firing range and it's great for attaching cardboard and paper to wood, or even thin plywood to a wall.
Make sure you buy the NARROW crown staples when you go back for refills. I bought the ones in the red and black box that say they fit Craftsman Heavy Duty Manual and Electric staplers.....but they don't fit this one.
THE BAD:
Somehow the gray plastic of my stapler cracked near where my index finger goes. This might be...

Great replacement for my old all-steel Swingline. Love the "Wire Guide and easy drop-in loading. In comparison, the easyfire has better penetration than my old-old Swingline and a shorter swing of the lever handle. Superior balance to conventional lever stapler and much easier to manipulate in tight places. I like the Easy Fire is "Made in USA."
A drop on the ejector guide of my old Swingline is what finally did it in; I'm concerned the plastic body and lever cover on the Easy Fire will shatter if dropped in cold weather. A Fiberglass or Rubberized plastic body may make the Easy Fire more...
read full review »This product is a piece of junk. I puchased it to do some upholstery work. The first one was defective and would not even shoot one staple, the plunger would not let the staples advance to the firing chamber. I took it back and got a replacement, same item, and this one would shoot two staples then stop because it would break up the remaining line of staples into groups of four or smaller. If this is what Craftsman has come to I may never buy another Cratsman product. The quality control and the reliability of the product is very poor. Also it would be a good idea to staff your tool...
read full review »This stapler is easy to use, does staples and brad nails and came with a variety pack of both. There is no kick, great leverage, and seems to staple as designed. my wife even can use it, as she used it on attaching poultry fence to our garden with it! This needs to be in your toolbox.
I bought the Craftsman Stapler/Brad Nailer All Purpose for my husband because we were remolding our ultitiy room. We needed a staple gun to staple the floor own around the edges. When we seen this also did the brand nails we decided to get it. We used this to apply the wood trim and the base boards. the machine was so light and easy to use. The was no kick backs-we could decide whether staples or the brad nails. We used it in areas that are so inconvient for a hammer to reach
I would recommend this to women who have little projects around the house that the do not have time to wait for...

Craftsman Tools make hard jobs easy!!
I purchased the Craftsman EasyFire staple/nail gun (see below for brad loading instructions) for hanging paneling as well as some light duty phone wire. So far it has worked very well for me with minimum problems. I found this gun will also fire Arrow T50 narrow crown staples as well as Powershot 9/16" 18 gauge Brad Nails which is handy for me b/c my Sears does not stock staples or nails. This is a good around the house model, but for daily use I would suggest the Craftsman Professional version.
To Load Brads
Make sure the gun is empty! Lay the gun on its side with the wire guide tab facing up,...
