Definitely. That's what I used it for. Just get extra heavy duty staples. I think some come with it, but I can't remember.

It will be best fastened with a staple. I do believe you can use cleat nails with the gun but I would stick to the staples.

I have used all of these nail guns and stapler on two projects. A rabbit hutch and a chicken coop, and they have worked just fine. For around the farm projects they work great.

I used this on 3 upholstery projects so far and they are holding up nicely. There is a bit of stiffness in the release lever but it works itself out with use. Have had no issues thus far, I would recommend this staple gun to others for light duty home projects.

mine works awesome... if you are having trouble loading the staples, take it to your local hardware store and they will assist you, or help you find the right staples or brad nails for your nail gun.

I think it includes a starter pack of 1.5" staples. Places like Home Depot and Lowes carry the staples you need though. I believe this takes 18 AWG crown staples. And this will shoot a variety of lengths,.. "up to" 1.5". We run a lot of 1.25" through it,.. and occasionally 1.5". We have a model 100 that we use for 1",... though I think this will shoot those also.

It certainly worked with mine! I used it on a pre-lit Christmas tree with a multitude of string lights and simply connected the dimmer and finally had a Christmas tree that no longer blinded me :-)

This gun shoots only 18 gage brad nails. They are available at most home improvement and hardware stores, Sears and Amazon. It does not shoot staples. It's a good gun for brad nailer and I would recommend a separate gun for narrow gave crown staples.

The wood is Soft Pine and a staple gun would probably split the wood...I would recommend round head thumb tacks with a 3/8 inch point---easy to push in

HD, Lowes and probably Ace sell compatible staples. Just make sure the package states Stanley compatible.

I experienced no problems with the gun firing multiple staples on my entire project. Worked like a champ for me. Good luck!

I went to home depot, and got the staples by Hitachi. you can also read other customer reviews on the tool site.

The kit comes with enough staples to load the gun one time. It's probably between 50-100 staples.

Yes, it does a good job with Christmas lights....my lights are on the clapper

If you mean the regular Christmas tree lights, where the bulb is about an inch long...then yes. I would imagine it would be a bit of an overkill though, unless you have a lot of lights. The spool is pretty good size. If you have just a strand or two, I would look for one specifically made for lights. However if you have a lot of lights to store, it would be perfect. But for the price, you really can't lose.

I use this gun mostly in 1/4 ply for cabinet backs. I have no problem setting the staples just below the surface. Overall, I'm very pleased with the gun, and I am very picky.

I do not have any experience using T72 insulated staples. I use T75 staples that can fasten romex up to 10/3 wire. It works well. You might need to use a hammer after shooting if the wood is hard. Has never been an issue for me. I have gotten too old to fasten wire using a nail-on staple, requiring TWO hands.
