4.0 out of 5 stars Inconsistent but handy, good battery life, January 25, 2011

I've had this previous generation Ryobi stapler in regular use for about the last two years. I mainly use it to hang plastic sheeting as I move from area to area of a big house renovation project, to staple up containment of plaster dust and other demolition byproducts.

The battery life on this is forever -- I can go for days, loads and loads of staples -- it's just not a problem.

I commonly use 3/8" staples, and I've got the "force" dial turned all the way in. No problem punching into pine, fir, redwood and Parallam. Plaster, too, though I don't recommend it! Usually I'm punching through plastic folded over a couple of times on top of a thin piece of cardboard. It also punches through thin particle board sheeting I use to protect floors and walls.

But the staple penetration can be inconsistent. Usually it'll get the staples fully seated (care must be given to ensure the stapler is fully contacting the work surface), but other times it may be sticking up a millimeter or three. The problem is the stapler has a safety on the head, but triggering the safety won't automatically fire the staple as with an auto-fire mode on a pneumatic staple gun. So in an off-balance, tip-toed leaning off the side of the ladder type of situation, it's pretty easy to not have the stapler fully seated while pulling the trigger.

Jams and misfires are practically non-existent, and this tool is far easier to reach for than anything connected to an air hose, so I use it often. Staple capacity is a full bar, and reloading is quick and easy. A convenient window on the side shows when staples are getting low.

All in all, a great little unit that's nice to have around.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good to staple upholstery, and NOT for carpenters work, November 5, 2009

I have used longest 9/16 staples, and they could not punch together 1/4 plywood and 1/2 MDF. The bearingly punched 1/4 plywood through, forget about the MDF.
I could use it or P301 for running staples around loose upholstery on your chair or sofa. BUT I would not use it for lumber work: wood, hardwood, plywood, or MDF. Too weak! Use compressor staplers instead.
