Does it use "universal" staples?

No, it is a wee bit wider and must use a staple designed for it. Several hardware stores that carry their own brand (like ACE) can cover that need. Just be sure to read the package to ensure that the T50 stapler is included. I hope I've been of some help.

Since Arrow staples are not any more expensive than any others (by a quick scroll through the selections here at Amazon), I would buy the ones intended for this gun. The staples that came with this gun appear not to be a generic size.

I use the Optima Premium staples - (35556) because they work well for the 45 sheet stapling capacity. I have not tried the standard staples.

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 do not know. I have a Stanley Bostitch electric stapler model CR1000E and the staples I got from Amazon works fine.

It will fit but quality is poor. Go to staples and buy a universal one. Worth the extra money.

Yes it does. I love this stapler. I don't use it much but a co workers has had hers for years and loves it too

The Stanley brand staples will not work with this stapler. This is however the best stapler I've ever had. I install ceramic tile and have used many staplers over the years. I've been using my current Duo Fast CS5000 for over 15 years.

Sorry I haven't answered sooner. I have been on vacation. I checked today and it will staple in 1/4 inch. I hope this is helpful to you!

It doesn't use any staples at all. It makes a self folding self tab. Don't "staple" more than 5 or 6 pages or it may jam.

I don't know if that is a compatible staple. I ordered the ones from amazon that were compatible. Sorry I wasn't helpful.

I would suggest you go online and google that question or look up that model number to find out because I can't help you with that. I had a heck of a time locating the staples for the stapler I purchased but I'm very pleased with it.

Yes. Mine came with 1" staples I believe but I needed longer staples for the project I was working on.

The short answer is YES. it opens like almost any other stapler...the difference being no latch to release. Just lift the head and you will see the tray to put the staples in. Note that a full stick of staples works best. loading with bits and pieces is likely to cause a jam.

Here is the deal, it says you can use the 1/2" staples, but I tried with the half inch and it will not load! It does load with the 1/4" heavy duty staples. It's not that they don't know HOW to load it, it just wont load which causes confusion.

I use the required ACE undulated staples with my ACE Clipper (pistol grip) stapler. It works perfectly every time. It never jams and the staples hold better than regular staples. Buy one and you will never use any regular stapler again.

Yes you can use 1/4 and 3/8 inch staples made by Bostich. Avoid the Staples brand of staples because the wire is narrower and prone to jams.

This stapler uses industry standard 1/4" staples available in various lengths. You can buy th online, or at most construction related retailers such as Lowes or Home Depot.
