Hi You will need an air compressor; this type has more power than electric.

Sorry, this is only an air compressor. It is an ideal device for use in the office. This model is particularly suitable for dental student's practice purpose.

I would think so, however, here's bad news. I bought this stapler and thought it was fabulous. And, it was, for about one hour. I sent it back for a full refund. In all fairness, I think it had been manhandled during shipping. Because it was in a hard case, it was not packed with buffering foam, etc. So, it worked great but for about one hour!

No this does not have a air compressor.Remember to use a desiccant filter for your air.

No. Just plug it in a wall outlet and it is ready to go. Read loading instructions closely before adding staples.

It depends what you're firing into. For typical upholstery work, I start out at around 80-90 psi. The stapler itself is rated 70 - 120 psi, I believe.

Yes it does need an air compressor. The required operating pressure is 70 to 110 PSI. I run mine at 85 PSI and it works just fine. It does not use a lot of air and a small compressor that shuts off at 125 PSI should work well around the house.

Yes but not much. This is great stapler, I recommend it. But extra staples with it

Yes it's a normal mechanical staple gun. I had a duo-fast before this one and it constantly jammed up on me. This one is much better.

Yes. It's electric. You will need a long heavy cord. I have a large yard, so I will be using several cords. I've already used it, and it does a great job. You have to be careful about the cord. But once it is out of your way there is no way to accidentally cut it.

I don't know. I threw it out and bought a light touch type stapler from Staples (I already had a couple that were excellent). Most of the time I prefer the Amazon product --e.g. the Amszon shredder versus the Staples shredder-- but this Swingline was unsatisfactory, klunky and incompetent.

We have yet to use the compressor due to not having 220V electrical power hooked up yet. We will be using this unit to operate (hopefully) and/or DOP test air powered HEPA vacuum cleaners in a nuclear power station. Sorry that I could not be of more help.

No. It's not electric or mechanical. We had it set up in less than 5 minutes, too!

It uses electric, but it also uses special wrappers! I had not ordered any when I ordered the machine. Did so after I found this out when using it. All in all great machine

I really don't know since mine works great and I have dropped that stapler many times and still works fine. Sorry.

Mini compressor. It is only air pressured tool. I absolutely love this staple gun. Already finished 3 full size couches and 3 arm chairs. Very nice tool! Would recommend to start with mini compressor. This staple gun is easy on your hands and does not get jammed.

It is operated with compressed air. Therefore, it requires an air compressor and air hose.
