Best Hand Staplers & Tackers of 2025

"As someone who enjoys DIY projects, I found the YEAHOME 4-in-1 Upholstery Staple Gun to be a fantastic tool. Its sturdy design and ease of use have made my upholstery work and repairs a breeze. The versatile functionality allows me to switch between different types of staples seamlessly, and the 4000 included staples are a generous touch!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by this staple gun. I needed a tool for 4 mm deep staples, and it worked perfectly. The staples were set beautifully flush into the wood without any issues. However, I did have a small jam when using a short stack of staples, but I was relieved that it was easy to clean. Overall, I am very satisfied!"

"When I first used the upholstery staple gun, I noticed some wobbling and that the operation wasn't as smooth as I had anticipated. It felt a bit shaky and loose, which was somewhat frustrating. Although it might not be the sturdiest option, it gets the job done for lighter tasks."

"This staple gun works great and is easy to use. It has a lot of helpful features and feels comfortable in my hand. I consider it a good value, especially with the staple and brad bundle."

"I've used several staple guns, but this one is the best. It drives T50 staples much better than my old PowerShot. The staples land solidly, and they’re so tight that the string under them doesn't slip."

"I decided to replace my all-metal Stanley stapler with this one. It's a bit smaller yet feels more powerful. The rubber grips make it easier to hold, and it supports different types of staples, which is a great plus. Overall, it’s a good value for money."

"I initially gave a bad review, but I returned to apologize! I was using the wrong staples! This staple gun functions perfectly and is much more comfortable than traditional ones. Definitely worth the purchase!"

"I loved the lightweight design, hoping it would ease the strain on my arthritic hands. While I appreciate the aesthetics, the plastic feels cheap, and it jammed on me multiple times. It's disappointing since I need something easy to handle."

"I was tasked with re-screening my patio using only an electric staple gun, but it just wasn't cutting it. The Arrow PT50 was an awesome find, and it worked great straight out of the box after a little oil. I was concerned about the PSI settings with my compressor, but it handled everything flawlessly with no jams or failures."

"I absolutely love this stapler! I've had zero jams while using it, which is fantastic. However, I think Arrow could improve the magazine release button; it's just too large and can accidentally pop open."

"After trying an electric stapler that failed to drive staples into wood, I switched to the Arrow PT50. It drives staples amazingly well and has been a reliable tool for my projects. The only downside is the strange air connector size, but I managed to work around that."

"I just finished roofing a new shed, and this hammer tacker performed exceptionally well. We didn't have one for our last roofing job, and manually tacking down felt was a tedious task. This tacker is easy to use and load."

"When my boss handed me a homeowner stapler, I refused and got this Bostitch hammer tacker instead. Since then, I’ve become the go-to guy for house wrapping. This tool has proven to be incredibly reliable, even after being caught in a couple of rainstorms. I simply apply some silicone lubricant, and it works like a charm!"

"Having used various brands for years, I can confidently say this is the best hammer tacker out there. It's durable and well-priced, making it a valuable addition to my toolkit. I’m very satisfied with my purchase!"

"I found this stapler exactly as pictured and described. It’s easy to use and offers great value. I appreciate that it doesn’t jam and feels very durable!"

"I purchased this stapler for building a catio to protect my cats. I thought it would be straightforward, but it’s quite heavy at 2.25 pounds, which I didn’t anticipate at my age of 75. I also realized I ordered the wrong staples, and the listing didn’t specify they need to be narrow. I’ll get the right ones soon and see how it performs."

"As a roofer, I switched from DeWalt to this stapler because the former kept jamming. I’m pleased to say that this one worked great without any issues!"

"I needed a way to attach chicken wire to my firewood racks. This tool made stapling easy and enjoyable, with no misfires and a flush finish every time."

"As an older woman, I had never seen a hammer tacker before. After watching a video, I decided to get one. It’s very well made and I ordered staples for it. I used it to hang a shade cloth on my patio fence, and it worked wonderfully with just a light hit. I'm excited to use it for more projects!"

"I've been a tool guy for decades, and I've faced disappointment with stapling tools in the past. However, after using this tool for an hour, I’m amazed at its efficiency. It seats staples deeply in tough wood without needing extra force. It feels very solid and is made in the USA. I truly love this tool!"

"I needed this tool for installing hardwood floors, and it has proven to be great and time-saving. I also think it’s a fantastic value for the price!"
