Arrow PowerShot 5700 Forward Action Staple Gun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this stapler after I borrowed my sons stapler. It is easy to use and fits my hands better than a regular stapler. It has jammed twice on me but still think it is a great stapler.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a staple gun to help reattach the back of a book case that popped off. This 5700 is small but powerful enough to get the backing back on with staples. Plus its size makes it an easy addition to my tool bag for the house vs the heavier and bulkier staple guns. 1117

It gets jammed three out of four times and misfires almost every time. It was very frustrating trying to figure out how to get a good shot every single time.

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.

This Arrow 5700 PowerShot Heavy Duty Staple and Nail Gun is the weakest link in my toolbox. Sadly it is so unreliable. I have only ever purchased Arrow T50 staples per the manual and followed all directions. Get your jelly jars out, Folks, 'cos all this guy does consistently is JAM. I finished exactly 1/8th of my most recent project. It leaves me frustrated and in the lurch every time. EVERY TIME. It halts projects until you: A) spend so much of the day unjamming it while crying or B) borrowing another staple gun from a friend or neighbor Why it goes back in the toolbox every time is a mystery... and each new time you need a staple gun you think... oh hey, I do have a staple gu..... oh no!

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.

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.

Jammed within the first 7 staples and continued to jam repeatedly over the next 3 days. Used genuine Arrow staples and they wouldn't even fire in it. Returned to Walmart store after 3 days of fighting this tool.

I'm returning this piece of junk! The staples constantly get stuck in the gun after only a few staples being used every time! What a frustrating waste of time and money! Do Not buy this worthless product!!!

In the manual it states "in the UNLIKELY event of a staple jam" in the first hour of use I have had to clear nearly as many jams as I've installed staples. Don't waste your money and instead buy anything else. A hammer and manually driving staples would have more success.
