Can it handle staples? We try to keep them out but invariably one gets through.

I try not to put staples through, but the times where I missed one here or there it hasn't been a problem.

it depends on what size of staple you use you can go up to 1/2 or 5/8 staples and that would do close to 50 papers with out a problem

I have the same problem. I am unable to staple 2 sheets without the staple cutting thru the first sheet and therbye not keeping the pages attached. Bad batch possibly? If their is a solution, I don't know it. 3 sheets or heavy paper works fine

My stapler can handle 20 sheets. If you go up 25 there isn't enough of the staple to secure the last few pages.

Yes, I've purchased 2 of them and both were held together with staples.I simply reinforced them using wood screws and they are still working fineHope this helps.

No. The staples on this stapler are thicker and bigger than the regular ones.

The longer it is on, the harder it is to remove. I wouldn't trust it...We use paperclips and staples for that purpose.

Yes, but I don't recommend it. Staples and paper clips don't go through the machine too easy. I am afraid by shredding these items repeatedly it would eventually ruin the blade.

depends on the size of cable you are using - remember the staples are a certain size that are furnished w/the stapler

We have 4 of these in our office. I have stapled 25 sheets at a time but not without difficulty. We also make sure we use the recommended staples for it.

One of the best I've ever used. All I know is that it sinks my 1/4 inch staples better and more consistently than others. I believe it will do fine for what you're planning.

This is unlikely due to the Stapler. I purchased this stapler to build one dozen acoustic panels for my home recording studio. I was building wooden frames wherein I can place insulation and hang them like pictures. To build the frames, I used "furring strips" from Lowes. I learned that at some parts of various strips, it was simply too tough for the staples to penetrate while in others there were no problems at all. Because I was building so many, I found it worth while to purchase an electric version of this. Even that was having difficulty punching in staples in some places. Notice though, that the 9/16" will still penetrate, but just twist after some depth. It might make sense to get shorter staples; but that is no guarantee -- depending on what you're building. That said, the most likely reason the staples don't sink in fully is the wood is too dense. Furthermore, make sure to put weight on the back of the stapler as you fire off staples.

It is strong enough for most tasks, designed pretty well for use, but after a week the staples got caught underneath the sliding part that is supposed to move them forward and nothing we tried would fix that.So, while it doesn't jam, it also does not work. Wrote Arrow,got no response, but called the phone # in the instructions and was requested too send it back for repair or replacement by the person in charge.Have not done that yet, but think there's hope,after all.

HI ! Yes they will. I used the same standard staples, Actually It will use 2 of them each time and it works just fine.

I use standard staples in this stapler. I don't think this stapler requires high capacity staples. I don't think any staples are easy to remove but since these are standard size staples they are no harder to remove than usual.

I have never done it, but if you use stainless steel staples and ensure that the pressure is correct, i.e. not driving the staple thru the cedar, there should be not problem.

Actually, it can-- from the multi-tray, but you have to guide it through (push lightly) when it first starts to pull the paper, so it catches. Not especially productive, but it will work if you have to do it.
