Does anyone know if this stapler does the "flat clinch" style staple or do the staple legs have a slight raise or crown after being clinched?

Unfortunately I cannot say as my son stripped the stapler to use in a school science project.

Yes, this stapler does take standard staples. Approximately 1/2 a stick of staples fits each time.

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.

It works great when stapling 1 page. My page never separates from itself when I staple it to nothing.

The air compressor should have a regulator. That's how most air guns set depth of fasteners. Less air, less power shot, shallow shot! More air more depth! Hope that helps Chris. Best stapler I've owned.

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.

The Arrow stapler is one of the worst tools I have ever owned. I do not recommend it. You need a stapler that will shoot "round crown" staples.

No it doesn't take regular staples and I've only used the recommended staples - Swingline Optima, which work great. No it doesn't hinge all the way open.

I owned 1 of these for years. It staples neat and clean on 1 page or 40.I only used the Bostitch premium crown staples and never had any problem.After about 8 years of use the stapler started shooting out a staple every couple of hours so I don't use it anymore. I am thinking of buying another stapler so I will probably buy another one just like it. I loved it.

I don't recall exactly whether it held a full strip. Certainly at least 75%. I threw it out and replaced it with a stapler from on-line Staples -- a model called "One Touch, with which I was already familiar -- which works very well,as I expected. The Swingline -- at least this one -- stapled badly and was clunky, not smooth. (I have no interest in or feelings for the Staples company.)

none! That's the beauty! It cuts and folds the paper in a very clever way, meaning you don't need staples at all!

Just tried, it does not. But even with that minor limitation, it is still the best stapler ever. I still like it just as much as before.

Yes it does. You just have to make sure when you stretch it open you need to push the "staple loading channel" back into place. But as long as you know that it's no problem at all.

I've been using the same cheap, garden variety, no-name 26/6 staples in this flat clinch stapler as I was previously using in my old bubble-clinch stapler. I'm not particularly of the impression that a special flat-clinch staple even exists. The only significant difference is the mechanics of the unit, so the same staple should perform equally as well, albeit flattened.

I have found that you have to set the stapler on your desktop (instead of holding with your hand). Apparently, you apply too much pressure by holding it in your hand. With it on your desk, there isn't as much pressure.

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.

Hmm. You probably could adjust it down for that. It shoots the staple at an angle. There is some adjustment to the shoe. Can't guarantee it.
