Bosch 0615991Eu8 Ptk 3.6 Li + 1000 Flatwire Staples 8Mm Type 53, Green

Was worried that this cheaper option might not be worth it but gladly was wrong, a fantastic piece of kit, sturdy, doesn’t jam and easy to use, so glad I didn’t go for a more costly product

This has got to be the best staple gun ever. Its easy to use, does the job well, nice to handle Over the years I have had several 'tackers' for those little upholstery and small repair jobs They quickly fail and take quite an effort to use on harder surfaces. Along comes this machine and for me Bosch can do no wrong! Don't waste money and time on a cheaper product - in the long run this little gem will reward your investment. Already used on upholstery, drawer repair and work in the garden

Works well with great battery life.Needs a slight design change to make it far more useful.The upper bulge behind the head needs to go and the front to back distance needs to be lessened or tilted downwards. These changes would let it get into far tighter places. Finally an option to switch off the safety/pressure lock.Good unit, not too loud, far better than a hand powered stapler

Great piece of kit. I recovered a single bed and a headboard and this made it so quick and easy. I suffer with arthritis in both my hands and without this tool this job would have taken me days instead of the single day I completed the job in. No jamming and so easy to replace staples.

Gives up after a while. Really handy and lightweight to use at first but gives up very quickly. Staple tray opens up on firing and staples shoot out. Actually a waste of money as Bosch are no help when you ring them. I think they know this product is inferior but continue to sell it.

this is really good for using when you don't want to use extension cables

I love it! So much easier to use than a manual one where you have to press hard on the front and the back whilst holding the chair still, you need three hands. With this you only need to apply pressure at the front and squeeze the trigger. I can't believe how I've reached my age and not had one of these before.

I bought this tacker primarily for upholstery projects, as manual staplers were getting to be too hard on my hands. The tacker casing is plastic, but appears to be quite robust, with a neat internal battery. It's light enough for a prolonged work session without being tiring to hold and the freedom from a trailing cable is great for upholstery work. The battery charge lasts well and the slightly extended 'snout' makes is easy to place the staple in the desired location, in all but the most restricted angles. When stapling into softwood and composites the staples drive home easily and entirely, however on an old chair frame with dried hard wood, some staples stayed a little proud at the crown. Staples were easy to load, fed through the gun cleanly and I didn't have any jams. Overall, I would recommend this tacker, but rate it four stars until I have know how durable it will be.
