Does the stapler open up for tacking papers to a wall?

That's a good question. I hadn't even tried do that, so I went to my office and spent several minutes with it to see if it had that capability. It does not. At least if it does, I could not find any method for configuring it to allow for stapling things to the wall. Sorry. It really is the BEST stapler I've ever owned - no more stapling over and over to get a staple cleanly through a stack of papers - but if you need to staple things to the wall you'll need a different model. Good Luck!

If the stapler is sitting like you would use it, its on the top at the back. It is a black semi-circle. Press it down and the staple holder will pop open.

I wasn't exactly sure what you meant by this, but I just looked it up and then tried the stapler on an index card and then on a piece of paper. From what I can tell, this stapler is not a flat clinch stapler because the staple is flat on the top of the paper, but each side of the staple is slightly raised up on the bottom of the paper -- not completely flat.

No. It will bind a few page together. It does not use wire staples; rather it uses a clever method of folding a tab for a reliable bond. It is a well made tool and should last a long time.

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.

Yes, staples and pins will easily go through the paper so those can help it stick on something porous like a cork board. I ended up using clear packing tape to help support the adhesive which isn't too strong on its own.

no, you will need flooring stapler with a mallet, you would only be able to use next to the wall ,where cannot fit the flooring stapler.

Mine jammed I opened it and it wouldn't go back together. I loved how easy it was to staple into my walls at school (teacher) that I was willing to try again. Hope it works

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 can confirm that Alazon is correct. It does indeed open to be used on a vertical surface and the mechanism that holds the staples will come out. However, like Alazon said the mechanism can simply be reinserted for vertical use. There is a guard to prevent the stapler from working unless pressed against a surface, so you will need to press the stapler against the bulletin for it to work.

I used this stapler not only for wood, but also for laminate (LDF, MDF) and drywalls. Maybe there are some very hard woods, which it cannot cope, but I don't know any.

Yes, it has a latch mechanism to allow the tray to extend for legal size paper. The paper tray door doesn't close all the way when it's in this mode.

No, it cannot. I was disappointed that you could see the entire metal undercarriage (for lack of a better word). I glued colored stones across the top but still was not happy with the result. In the end I tossed it... It wasn't the best made stapler as the section that holds the staples never locked into the top - it was loose.

No it doesn't and I don't believe it ever will. I've tried putting books on top of it, rolling it the other way, sticking it on the wall and stretching it out - the fold lines are still there...

I would have to say no because without the bottom of the stapler which actually curdles the staple to grab ahold of paper it wont adhere to anything. I believe what your trying to accomplish can be done with another stapler made for the purpose of stapling plastic film to a pallet or another use. I believe there is a hand held stapler that is weighted and can be swung like a hammer for that use.

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

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.
