is this the lightweight plier stapler?

Hi, Deanna. I got this stapler to do an cockpit cushion project using Naugahyde on my boat. I would say it is at least medium duty although it had no problems going through multiple layers of Naugahyde. It seems well constructed. I have some arthritis in my hands but found this was easy to use. I'll be interested to see how it performs on multiple layers of heavier materials, i.e. Sunbrella, webbing & reinforcing fabrics, the next time I have a canvas project. I have seen others having problems finding the staples but I found them at our local hardware store. Hope this helps.

No, this is a heavy duty stapler; key to use is to staple all the way when you begin by one rapid movement do not half staple or stapler could jam; you will stop using your swingline & bostich staplers

Hi DeannaAs best I can recall, this had been advertised as a heavy duty stapler.In fact, if you surf the net, you will find numerous retailers still calling it that, although the manufacturer seems to have abandoned this, in favor of stressing its "All Steel Construction".I suspect it will hold up fine for light work.Would you like to buy some staples?

I wouldn't consider it lightweight like in the use for stapling papers together although if you had a large amount of paper it would be great for that. My husband used it to staple cardboard and tyvek together. We love this stapler and it works well.

I don't consider it lightweight. Built solidly. I know this is a subjective answer but it isn't flimsy, if that's your concern.

Its actually a very nice stapler and I'm not easy on it and I would buy another one

Yes. It's thin flexible plastic and should work just fine with a staple gun

It might be - it's super thin. If you have a manual press I could see it working possibly. I have only used it for wrapping/packing items.

No. The staples on this stapler are thicker and bigger than the regular ones.

Yes, they are, but the lighter weight (I think they are 3-ply) are actually better, more pliable. Both are great though. You end up using them for so many things.

Yes, this uses standard staples, I bought it for closing paper yard bags and it works well

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.

I would have to say no because without the bottom of the stapler which actually curdles the staple to grab ahold of paper it wont adhere to anything. I believe what your trying to accomplish can be done with another stapler made for the purpose of stapling plastic film to a pallet or another use. I believe there is a hand held stapler that is weighted and can be swung like a hammer for that use.

It's actually rather lightweight. I love mine and use it at least every day because it's so handy.

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.

It's just a stapler ......upholstery grade. I use it daily in my shop. You won't be disappointed .

I have found that you have to set the stapler on your desktop (instead of holding with your hand). Apparently, you apply too much pressure by holding it in your hand. With it on your desk, there isn't as much pressure.

I believe that this is intended only for the lightest of jobs. I am not keeping the one I bought. It just doesn't have enough uumph.

I don't know specifically because I have thrown the packaging away .. but there was a whole laundry list of staplers listed on the back side of the package that these things fit .. so I suspect the TR100 may have been on it ..

It works great when stapling 1 page. My page never separates from itself when I staple it to nothing.

This stapler weighs about the same as an Arrow stapler, but will do a better job at fastening your canvas to wood. The staples are about the same thickness as most of this type of stapler. The difference usually being in the width of the staples. The term "Heavy Duty" refers to the stapler. It has more power than some of the other brands. I used this Duo Fast to staple new seat coverings to some chairs and it did the job without leaving half of the staple sticking out like the Arrow brand did. I would think you would have no problem in using this stapler and seriously doubt you would regret buying one.

This is a standard old fashioned no-frills staple gun like the type your dad might have had in his basement workroom. For a person of light build and medium to light stature it may be a challenge to use the stapler repeatedly and over a period of time. For me, I would say 10-20 staples and I would notice some hand fatigue. If you wanted to do something like upholstery where you would need to staple on a continuing basis, I'd look for a stapler with some sort of power assist.
