Question 1

Do I need to be a weight lifer to fire the trigger hard to fire?  I need to use one hand to hold and one hand to fire.

Accepted Answer

49 year old woman with tendinitis and rotator cuff issues. It definitely takes both hands and some pressure for me--more if I need to get the staples all the way in, reliably; less if I just need them to grab and hold. Overhead, I can do 50, take a long break, then another 50, in a day.  If I want a perfect job, maybe 30 staples, and pressing downwards or sideways, not overhead. On the good side, it jams way less than some supposedly "self firing" staplers I have used, and I don't fear nailing myself in the thigh if I get careless and roll onto it (a grounded fear based on a prior bad experience). And it'll hold up to a more powerful user whaling away at it, without going wonky.

Question 2

is there a safety release? I can't get it to fire a staple

Accepted Answer

No safety release.  You probably have a staple stuck in the firing mechanism.  Two of mine started jamming constantly so I set them aside.  Eventually, I contacted Arrow through their website, asking about repairs.  They have a program that will fix your stapler for $8.  I sent them both staplers and a week later, TWO NEW STAPLERS arrived at my door.  Check that out.

Question 3

How do I know what size staples will be needed? Need to redo the fabric on my ottomon and seat covers.

Accepted Answer

For general purpose household use, I use the 3/8 for most jobs. You should measure how thick your cover material is and add how thick your wood is to get the right size. Example: doing cardboard strips over plastic sheet for window coverings, the cardboard is about 1/6" thick, the plastic sheet is 9ml thick, and the window frame is 1" thick. I would use 3/8" staples to get decent penetration or 1/2 - 17/32 if it was outside (due to wind). For my bike seat cover I used 3/8" and it work fine. Hope this helps.
