For some reason this doesn't fire my Arrow T50 9/16" staples consistently; it doesn't sink them all the way into the wood. Am I doing something wrong?

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.

I am not the seller, but we have one and have had zero problems with it.... yours may be defective or you are not using the correct staples for it... we purchased the staple that go with the machine and have had no problems, jams and have made around 1000 booklets with it.

Sounds like the gun is defective, assuming that the staples are the right ones.

I remember my first set jammed too. Try placing a new set of staples toward the back of the "chamber" and letting the guide push them forward, then staple. Does this help?

No this will not shoot staples. This gun is a type of Brad nailer which is shorter than a finish nailer for detailed thinner wood work. You may want to look for a Craftsman finish nailer / staple gun. They are the only one who makes that type of gun that I know of. It would be called a '2 in 1 finish gun' that shoots both nails and staples.

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.

Make sure the staples are pushed down all the way. Sometimes I have to use a screwdriver to push them down so they lie flat against the bed of the stapler.

1st of all, do NOT takle it apart. put on safety glasses, unload staples (same as you load them) dig out stuck staple in end. wolla. Whatever it was you tried to staple might be too hard or thick. Jerry

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.

sounds like your shooting a left handed bow right handed. your arrow should be on the left side of the riser.

I always use the staples. Seems to me they hold better, more friction. Freeman gun works great.

I have not had a problem with mine. If you are using duo-fast staples, then your driver may be bent or your pressure is insufficient.

I don't think it will do that. i have driven lag bolts into wood with no pilot up to 3/8 and it really struggled.

I had the same problem until I figured out the staples load from the bottom. Goog luck.

I used my Power Shot to put up a lot of insulation in a house addition. It worked most of the time ok, but jammed occasionally. Had to remove a screw to unjam as I had no owners manual. Screw allows removal of the staple tray and can then unjam. Be careful not to let any parts fly off, some spring loaded. Had my 25 year old Arrow T50 staple gun as backup (has never jammed 200,000 plus staples) but forward handle design of Power Shot was easier with as many staples as my job required.

I have not had any problems with the gun. First of all, is it turned up too high where it is actually driving the nail all the way through the wood? You may want to practice on a two by four to test the depth setting. Second of all, and this is probably a stupid question but you do have the correct brad nails in, right? I have not had any problems with mine - it worked wonderfully for me. Sorry, I wasn't any more help.
