does this stapler only works with an air pressure, or I can use as an regular stapler? If so, what kind of parts do I need to buy? Thanks

Only with an air pressure. You will need air compressor not more than 120 psi. It will not work with pressure under 65 psi. I got best results between 70 and 85 psi.

Can you expand on your question? If you mean you want the staples to close like a office stapler does, you won't get those results with any staple gun I know of. The reason an office stapler gives you closed staples is because of the metal plate on the opposite side of the stapler folds the staples under pressure. Let me know if this helps answer your question or not.

To load the stapler, you will need to push the endcap at the back and it will loosen from the spring loaded maganism. Pull it out and load the staples.

It does not come with staple, however, it takes standard staples. This stapler is loud but work very well and has not jammed.

It is pretty noisy, but it only makes noise intermittently. The (relatively small) tank is pressurized by the compressor to something like 150 psi, then the compressor turns off till the tank pressure goes down (with use) to the set pressure, say 120 psi, then it turns on again to raise the tank pressure to 150. So if you're using the stapler heavily, the compressor will turn on frequently, but when you're not, it will be quiet. Overall. I think the unit is good quality.

NO - it uses standard staples. Sounds like you need a heavy duty stapler......

I really don't know, but I will say this: I have numerous different staplers and have tried to use staple from one brand stapler in other staplers that looked like they should fit and even though the staples would fit into the stapler, they would jam and not work properly. It was very frustrating to have every other staple jam in the machine and have to take the time to pry it out. I say just from past experience, it really is best to have the proper staples for the machine you have.

Staples are what most use. you have to use wide staples - the smaller ones from a power gun go right through the paper. Also, make it tight or it will sag after the first rain.

It takes standard/regular-size staples. LOVE this stapler!! When they say you can push it down with one finger,they are not exaggerating - it makes stapling so much easier - great for arthritic hands too, even my Grandma loves it! :)

Mini compressor. It is only air pressured tool. I absolutely love this staple gun. Already finished 3 full size couches and 3 arm chairs. Very nice tool! Would recommend to start with mini compressor. This staple gun is easy on your hands and does not get jammed.

I'm not happy with the quality of this stapler, regardless of application. I've tried different staples, different air pressures, different materials. I've tried dis-assembly and re-alignment of components. I consider it to have basic design flaws.

It will staple about 15-20 sheets with 30 lbs. of force......yet takes little force to use......highly recommended

No - Stapler jams constantly. It jammed the first day I bought it so I returned it. I was unable to clear the jammed staples. Used the staples as recommended on the box.

I've used this stapler for that purpose, but you have to really watch the air pressure to make sure the staples don't blow through the plywood. We now use a 1/2" wide crown stapler for that purpose and it works much better.

I doubt it - I had such terrible luck with that stapler model that I threw it away - it suddenly wouldn't staple anything. I bought a much heavier duty one that worked better.

That is probably because you do not staple trigger properly inserted. The push arm should be inserted between the staples and not as a push rod as is typical with staplers.

I really don't know since mine works great and I have dropped that stapler many times and still works fine. Sorry.
