I got both a staple gun and these staples on Amazon. I had kitchen bar stools at the island that had seen better days. I found a BRILLIANT piece of fabric to re-cover the seats, so I set my plan in motion. Amazon was GREAT once again, 2 day free shipping for Prime ..... obviously didn't wait long for these items. I sat to recover the first stool seat, but found that about every 5th staple got jammed in the gun. So it would be 3 minutes to open, empty, and re-load the gun every time this happened. Of course, by the end of the first stool's minor repair, I was sick of the project, frustrated about the lack of stamina in the staple strip. I came back to do another about a day and a half later. (no, I wasn't that p*ssed off, I just got busy with other things) Sadly, I had the exact same issue the entire time I did the second one. It's been more than a month and I haven't attempted to do the 3rd (of 6!) stool. The staples are just too frustrating.
***let me add a side note here: before you think I am just some chick that didn't know what she was doing with a staple gun or a "tool", let me say that I am NOT an amateur! I have used SO many tools, even the big, scary, "manly" ones that make lots of noise, ;) so it was NOT lack of intelligence on the operators part. In fact, I have also had prior experience with staple guns before. I like to do the little projects around the house just as much as my husband. The staples sucked!! bottom line. don't know whether they were just ancient, being passed off to rid the inventory of another box, but I was disappointed that the strips didn't hold together well enough to complete such a simple task. I think about 1/3 of them were wasted in the process. In my eyes, that's a waste of time and money.

Should of stayed home and bought didnt read discription on shipping cost way more with the shipping cost.
