Arrow PowerShot 5700 Forward Action Staple Gun

I purchased a second unit due to the first one which I owned for a few years kept jamming every few staples that would go in properly. Unfortunately this second unit acted in exactly the same manor within just a few minutes of use. I am installing bubble foil insulation in a shed and should be an easy project but lucky to get 3 -5 good staples in before the jam will happen.

I have to sqeeze the handle 2-3 times to get it to shoot.... and then most of the times the staple comes out, but it just hangs there. So, I've gone through tons of staples just to get a few to shoot. It was brand new.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a 71-year-old woman and I bought this stapler to help me do some work around my house. And especially with having trouble with some rodent holes and needed to secure those and this stapler really made my job much easier and although it's a little heavy it's not too heavy for me to handle. It was easy to load and easy to follow the directions. I was able to secure steel mess all along the area where the house was having trouble. It was a lifesaver. I know I'm going to get much use of it cuz being on my own I have to do a lot of DIY home projects repair and renovations so I look forward to using it. It was a good value the price was reasonable and I could afford it on a limited budget. I highly recommend it.

When this worked, it was great. But it stopped working way way way before it should. I have one of the medium duty arrow staplers that I've had for 30 years and it still works. But it's not meant for heavy duty work. I bought a heavy duty arrow stapler that works, but it's too hard on my hands. So I bought this on the recommendation of a friend and I loved it until it quit working.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this losing use in my hands and can use this easly. I like how light it is. The instructions were very clear as well thank you

Absolutely terrible. Had an older model and loved it. Recently bought two new models to replace my old one and gifted one to my father. Both have consistent issues and are a nightmare to use.

I use this for stapling up no trespassing signs on a large property and find the relatively light effort and ergonomics to be perfect for light duty tasks of this sort

I was very disappointed with this stapler. 1 in 10 staples would go in wood, the rest would either jam up, not go all the way into the wood, or no staple at all. I was using the appropriate arrow brand staples. After a few minutes I was fine messing around with this and returned it for a tried and true T50 stapler, and finished my project. I am pretty shocked how poorly this worked given that it was made in the USA and by Arrow no less. The design is great, just wish it worked.

I tried to send a review just a few moments ago. My 5700M staple gun was given to me as a gift as one a 70 year old lady might be able to operate. I took it out for the very first time, and the first two staples went into my project perfectly, then it stopped. It is not jammed. It is not empty. I'm using the proper staples. When I pull the trigger, it spits a staple out limply on the table. There is no force or power behind it. I have emptied it, refilled it, same result. I am so angry. This is a brand new tool and seems to not be worth anything.

Just bought this and got 10 staples in, which didn't go all the way in I might add. I had to hammer them down. Now, it's completely jammed. Now I know my way around tools and can disassemble this no problem, I just don't want to. I shouldn't have to. I have upholstered and used plenty of staplers to know this is trash and highway robbery for my buck. Not to mention the time it's already taken from me . I do not recommend.
