1.0 out of 5 stars A staple hammer that does not work, September 30, 2002

I bought this unit to replace an ARROW staple hammer that did not have a bent handle which meant that you were always mashing your figers in tight places. But this BOSTITCH unit, while it keeps your fingers away from the work, the staples do not feed well. It will not take more than one length of staples because if you try to use more than one, the slider bar that locks the staples in place will break them apart. The stapler itself will tend to try to feed more than one staple at a time and then just plane jams up. You spend more time unjaming this unit than you will using it. It is by far the worest hand tool I have ever bought and has forced me to go back to the ARROW unit and watch my fingers more closely. Do not buy this product.

I've been in construction for 15 years now and have used the "old" bostitch H-2B stapler for years and loved it.Last summer I went to order a couple more and found out they were discontinued; I checked everywhere ; even @ a repair facility that has the parts to rebuild them; no one has any of them left.I called Bostitch directly and they said the "new" one takes the same staples ; WRONG so I bought the grand slammer and I hate it ; the staples are hard to keep in the rail while closing the ram and they jam as easily as the "cheap" arrow t-50's did; I didn't mind spending $100.00 for a stapler I could rely on and one that was easy to replace or clean the parts; I WISH they would begin making the H2B again PLEASE!

I am not in to staples.. Just get it done.. This product is a complete "Simple tool .. gone bad.." I tried the Bostich, B&C, and Arrow staples, all crowned, all failed.. I never could get more than 12 goods hits.. Sorry folks, pass on this one, and find a swedish Rapid series.. Art ( owner, Home builder)
