The stapler is a compact tool designed for connecting various elements using metal staples. There are two types of staplers - stationery and assembly. Stationery is designed for fastening paper sheets, and assembly ones for connecting solid materials, the density of which does not interfere with the passage of fasteners.
Stationery stapler
Stationery staplers provide through fastening of sheets of paper with staples, followed by folding of their tails. This increases the reliability of the connection significantly. The principle of operation of this device is very simple. A plate with staples loaded into the feed chute is subjected to a point pressure, as a result of which one of it breaks off. She cuts into paper sheets, piercing them through, after which her tails rest against a special rigid plate, which has recesses, which leads to their bending at a given angle.
The standard stationery stapler is designed to work with staples of 6 and 8 mm. Their rigidity is sufficient for punching up to 50 sheets. For more serious tasks, large devices are used, working with high staples made of thick wire. Large staplers are designed for staples up to 26 mm high.
Fasteners for staplers are sold in packs. Each of which contains 20 plates, consisting of 50 staples connected in a row. Thus, a pack is enough for 1,000 fixations.
To achieve a high-quality connection of sheets of paper, first of all, it is not so much the design of the stapler itself that is important, as the use of high-quality consumables. A cheap tool that works with good fasteners will be significantly better than an expensive one that has cheap consumables. Still, it cannot be said that the cost and quality of the tool itself does not matter.
Cheap ones work well at first, but over time they start to jam as a result of the reduced efficiency of the spring that feeds the staples. In addition, the extrusion mechanism can be deformed, as a result of which the effect begins not on one bracket, but on several at once. As a consequence, the tool becomes clogged as a result of the simultaneous release of several fasteners through the narrow feed slot.
In most staplers, the staple is squeezed out directly by a special plate that extends when you press your hand on the device body. Expensive and large devices designed for punching cardboard and a large number of sheets have a more perfect design. They have an additional spring that acts as an amplifier. The special shoulder mechanism increases the force generated by the pressure, resulting in the brace coming out with less stress on the hands.
Additional features of stationery staplers
At first glance, a stationery stapler seems to be a completely simple design, which can hardly have any additional ways of application. This is not true. For example, few people know that the plate, which the tails of the staples rest against before bending, can turn over. It has two mounting positions. In the first, the technological recesses for folding the tails are close to each other, and in the second they are wider. In the first position, the staples are bent inward, after which their tails are tightly cut into the sheets of paper to be joined from the opposite side. In the second position of the plate, when the recesses are wide, the staples are bent outward. Such binding is used in cases when you need to temporarily attach a stack of paper, while in the future it will have to be disconnected. This method of fastening provides a secure fit, but at the same time it takes a minimum of effort to remove the bracket.
Also, many models of stationery staplers can be opened, as a result of which their shape turns from an acute angle into a straight line. Such a technical solution in the design is made with the aim of driving the staples into the surface without bending them, which is necessary when fixing paper sheets to various materials. For example, with a tool in this position, you can attach an ad to a board or tree trunk.
Some types of tools have a protruding pointed blade at the opposite end. It is necessary to remove previously clogged staples. To do this, you need to drive it under the installed bracket and pull the stapler towards you. It should be noted that this method is quite productive, but not the best. It is much more convenient to use a special tool called a staple remover.
Mounting staplers
The mounting stapler is used for nailing various materials with staples. The reliability of such a connection is in no way inferior to small nails, while the nailed material receives a larger clamping area than the head of a stud or screw can provide. This is especially important when you need to fix fabric or plastic wrap.
There are three types of mounting staplers:
- Mechanical.
- Electrical.
- Pneumatic.
Mechanical stapler
It is the most popular. This is facilitated by its low cost, so everyone can afford it. It can be used anywhere as it does not need to be connected to an electrical network or compressor. Its design is very simple and has a lot in common with a stationery stapler. The only difference is that the mounting models have a much more powerful spring, the erection of which is carried out by a special mechanism with a handle to strike the brackets. When the trigger is squeezed with the palm of the hand, one actuation occurs.
It should be noted that a mechanical stapler often fails to cope with the task at hand. The spring used in it wears out over time and becomes softer. As a result, the staple can only enter half of the material. Often, it skews to the side and simply deforms. These problems are especially common in the low-cost segment. As for expensive devices, they last much longer. The disadvantage of all mechanical staplers is that significant forces are required to drive each staple. If you need to make several dozen bindings, then this is not a problem, but when you have to work for a long time, the hand gets very tired.
When working with a mechanical mounting stapler, keep in mind that you should not put more than one staple plate in the loading slot at the same time. Even if some of the consumables were used in the tool, until they are completely exhausted, adding other brackets is not recommended. This is because the optimal stroke width of the feed compression spring will be violated. As a result, over time, it will begin to press worse and worse, which will lead to jamming of the staples inside the tray.
Electric stapler
Also has a spring in its design. Its construction is carried out by the action of an electric drive. Thanks to this, it is much easier to work with such devices, although the tool itself is heavier than a mechanical one. It should be noted that despite the reduction in the load on the hands, such devices have their drawbacks. First of all, this concerns the electrical wire, which constantly interferes. More recently, models have appeared that work on that do not need a network connection. This significantly expanded the range of operation of such devices, but still led to an increase in the weight of the instrument.
Electrical devices are more expensive than manual devices. They have high performance, therefore they are often used in various industries. In particular, they are used in furniture upholstery. Especially this tool fell in love with craftsmen who are engaged in hauling furniture at the client's home. Using such a stapler allows you to work quickly, and there is no need to wear a compressor, which is necessary in the case of more powerful pneumatic equipment.
The electric stapler has an additional degree of protection to prevent accidental release of the staple when the button is pressed. Unplug the electric stapler before refueling. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury. In addition, many models have a locking mechanism that will not allow the plate tray to be opened while the fixture is plugged in. Some devices have a dedicated rev button to put the instrument into safe mode and open the loading tray.
Pneumatic stapler
Squeezes out the staples by supplying compressed air from. It is a fairly lightweight device that provides high clogging speed. Such devices can usually be found in industries. With their help, furniture is hammered together, upholstery is attached, and various items are packed in a crate for transportation or storage. Pneumatic devices have high strength and are therefore capable of punching through very hard materials. In this regard, when working with this type, you must strictly follow the safety rules.
I met two versions of the adjustment staplers, both had to be adjusted ...
I must say right away that all these instructions did not help much, I had to lime about a dozen staples in order to achieve the best result, and then readjust it every 15-20 strokes along the way. Therefore, the adjustment process is a constant action during use.
Another point - one builder advised to relax the spring after work, so that there are no springs on it during storage, this is the reason that it needs to be adjusted before each work.
Option 1
The adjusting screw is located on top of the stapler, inside along the entire length there is a straight spring pressing on the firing pin. If the screw is tightened clockwise, the impact will be stronger and, accordingly, the paper clip will go deeper. By unscrewing the adjusting screw counterclockwise, the impact is reduced.
Option 2
In this version, the stapler is made by means of a leaf spring, it is she who presses on the firing pin and regulates the impact force. The adjusting screw is located under the handle. I don’t remember exactly which way to turn this screw, try it yourself. When you turn it, the plate bends and presses on the firing pin, or the opposite effect occurs.
A furniture stapler is a tool that is used to secure or fasten parts that are not very hard materials. Fastening is done using special staples for a furniture stapler. These staples come in many variations and differ in size, material and color depending on the job. There are also different types of furniture stapler, reviews of each are on the Internet. This tool has many different names (tacker, staple gun, staple gun, etc.). This is due to the fact that this tool is quite popular and widespread among the people.
Furniture electric and manual stapler: device and tips for choosing a tool
Not everyone knows how to choose a furniture stapler. It is worth noting that when choosing such a tool, you need to take into account that it has many varieties. Therefore, you need to take into account the operating parameters and characteristics of the technical parts with which you will work, as well as the device of the furniture stapler itself. Having studied all the nuances, you can go to the store and buy a furniture stapler.
A manual furniture stapler is a mechanical tool that can be used with physical effort. The main advantage of a hand tool is its mobility and independence from electricity, as well as from other energy sources. The requirement of physical effort is the main disadvantage of a hand stapler, since with large amounts of upholstery work, a huge amount of time is spent. This fastening tool can only be used for partial or complete hauling of furniture at home, and not in factories with industrial volumes. These tools are best purchased from firms such as gross, matrix and similar firms.
An electric furniture stapler is a tool that works with electricity or a battery. It is best to use this type of unit for medium-sized upholstery work. The main disadvantages of this type of stapler are: low rate of fire of the mechanism, weak force of impact of the tool, as well as its rather rapid wear.
To work on an industrial scale on furniture upholstery, a pneumatic furniture stapler is used. Because it is fast, durable and strong compared to other types of similar building aggregates.
Furniture stapler video: how to use, how to charge, and what staples are needed
In order not to be injured by a furniture stapler, it is important to thoroughly understand how to use such a tool. If you are using a mechanical stapler, first adjust the screw adjuster. The adjustment must be made on the rough material, turning the regulator from minimum to maximum. If the fasteners are not included in the material from the first blow, then you will need to adjust your furniture stapler again, and if it does, then start working on the "clean copy". It is worth knowing in advance how to charge a furniture stapler. This can be read in the instructions for the unit.
To hammer the staples at the desired distance, it is best to mark such places in advance with a pen or pencil. You can also use a retainer, which must maintain the same distance when driving in fasteners without preliminary marking.
Do not forget to hold the material in the same way when making shots, so that the material cannot move out when driving the staple. Do not forget to also monitor the presence of braces so as not to be left without them at the most inopportune moment for you.
Secure the handle with a safety catch when not in use. This is due to safety precautions. When you follow these simple recommendations, you can easily cope with the upholstery of a sofa or other necessary task related to a furniture stapler, the price always depends on the type of tool and its manufacturer.
Furniture stapler, instructions for use: how to choose staples?
The instructions for the device have data on which you should rely in the choice of brackets:
- The depth of the staples - it can vary from 4 to 14 mm. This parameter is determined by the nature of the upcoming work. For example, a tapestry on the back of a chair can be "shot" with 8 mm staples, and for felt you will need to use a depth of 10 - 12 mm.
- Type - it all depends on the model, the marking on the packaging should be the same as in the description for the device. For example, if the staples are small for a particular device, then they can "shoot" several pieces at a time. In addition, skewing of the staples in the tray is almost inevitable.
In addition, you should be wary of the seller's recommendation to replace one type of staple with another that is similar. Charges that are similar in depth may differ in geometry, which may be imperceptible to the eye, but critical in the operation of the stapler. 
How to choose the right furniture stapler?
Are you wondering how to choose a stapler for furniture? Everything is very simple here: we make the choice based on what kind of work we have to do. So, if you need a device for upholstering a sofa or an armchair, then you can get by with a mechanical device, because furniture frames are usually made of soft wood. The effort given by the hand to the mechanical stapler will be quite enough for work.
If you have to work with harder materials, for example, with chipboard, then mechanics cannot be dispensed with. An electric stapler for furniture will have enough power. Pneumatic tools are even more powerful, but this is likely to be a waste of money. It makes sense to buy pneumatics for use in construction work. 
A quality mechanical stapler, what is it?
A mechanical stapler, furniture, is not difficult. However, its design has features that determine the convenience and efficiency of using the device. Attention should be paid to the following:
- Shop transparency. It is not at all critical for the functioning of the device, but it will be very convenient to control the number of staples.
- Screw for adjusting the force of impact. Different density of wood and thickness of upholstery - regulation here will greatly facilitate the work.
- Narrow working tip of a furniture, mechanical stapler. Provides greater accuracy in staple placement.
- Stopper on the handle. This is a safety issue - you will be protected from accidental "shot".
- Rubberized handle. Greater convenience when working, the device will not slip in your hand.
Electric furniture stapler: cordless or cordless?
The rechargeable furniture stapler is very convenient because the person working with it is not tied to a source of electricity. That is, you can work with the device even in the country, where there is no electricity. As a rule, the battery capacity is sufficient for quite a long time. Such a stapler has no obvious drawbacks, but it is worth purchasing it only if there is a need for wireless access.
In all other cases, it is better to choose a furniture stapler, electric, mains powered. And that's why:
- A network device will have more power than an independent one.
- Even the most capacious battery tends to run out.
- The price for a network stapler is lower.
- The weight of the battery device is higher, which means that it is more difficult for them to work for a long time.
How to use a mechanical stapler: how to charge the device?
How to use a furniture stapler is not difficult to figure out. But let's take a closer look at the charging process of a mechanically driven device.
- We put the stapler on the fuse.
- In the back of the device, we find a flap that covers the hole of the "clip" for staples and fold it back.
- Pull a rod with a spring from the hole.
- We insert a block of staples inside, with "backs" towards the handle of the device.
- We return the rod to its place, clamping the staples with it inside the stapler.
- We lower the sash until it clicks. Then you can get to work.
How to use a furniture stapler: The video provides an overview of the mechanical model.
How to choose a furniture stapler to keep it safe?
For devices with any drive, mechanical or electrical, a button is required - a stopper that protects against accidental operation. Actually, such a stopper is quite enough for a mechanical stapler. But an electrical device, in order to be considered really safe, must also have protection against "idle" operation. That is, the "shot" should occur only when the working part of the stapler is pressed against the working surface.
In addition to human safety, there is also the concept of “quality control of work”. This is a very useful feature that will protect you from undetected flaws in your work. It lies in the fact that the electric stapler will turn off every time the staple is not fully hammered or crooked. So you can spot the defect in time and fix it. 
How to properly fill the pneumatic furniture stapler?
Let's take a closer look at how to insert staples into a furniture stapler. The very first thing to do is to lock the device. So you protect yourself from injury due to an accidental "shot". Further, the sequence of actions will be as follows:
- We find and press the button responsible for opening the boat for staples. After pressing, the tray cover will either "slide off", or the tray itself will slide out of the handle. It all depends on the design of the model.
- We turn the device over, once again make sure that it is locked.
- We put the staples for the furniture stapler into the tray, with their "backs" to the device, and "legs" towards ourselves. Make sure they lie flat.
- We close the tray until it clicks.
- Turn the stapler over with the working side away from you, remove the lock.
After charging, the tester needs to be tested. After that, do not forget to lock the mechanism again.

How to choose a quality furniture stapler
Types of furniture staplers
Furniture staplers are available in different types. Going to the store to make a purchase, you need to clearly understand for what purpose the tool is being purchased. And what parameters it should have.
Before starting to work with the tool, you should understand its functioning. So, before you start working with a mechanical stapler, you should first adjust it. To do this, you can use a rough material on which several test shots are made. By changing the control on the instrument, you should achieve the desired result and only then start work on finishing material.
In order for the staples to be placed at the same distance from each other, the landing sites should be marked in advance with a pencil. The material must be held in place when firing to prevent the upholstery from sliding. Always keep track of the number of staples remaining in the tool.
If the stapler is not planned to be used in the near future, then it is better to put it on a fuse.
Choosing a furniture stapler
The choice of tool is based on the nature of the work ahead. For example, a mechanical stapler is suitable for upholstery of sofas or armchairs... Soft wood is used to make furniture frames. The physical effort applied to fire the shot will be sufficient.
If you have to work with hard material, then mechanics will not help here. For such work, you should get an electric stapler. Sure, pneumatic tool is even more powerful... but it is better to use it when carrying out construction work.
How to choose a quality mechanical stapler?
The construction of mechanical furniture tools is not that complicated. But it has features that affect the usability:
How to choose staples for a furniture stapler?
When choosing staples in a store for a mechanical furniture stapler, you need to proceed from the information provided in the instructions for the device and be guided by certain parameters.
Charging the mechanical stapler
Working with a mechanical tool is easy. However, let's take a closer look at the process of charging a power tool.
Safety precautions when working with a mechanical furniture stapler
In any device, both mechanical and electrical, there must be a stopper. It protects the device from unplanned activation. Accordingly, in a power tool, the design of the stopper is quite simple. Whereas for safe handling when working with an electric stapler, the tool is triggered only when its working part is pressed against the material area.
Besides the security system, the electric stapler equipped with quality control function... She will be able to save from unnoticed mistakes in work. And the fact is that if the staple is not finished to the end or if it bends, the device turns off. Thanks to this, you can see the defect in time and correct it.
Electric stapler
The battery pack can be operated independently of the electrical network. That is, the device can be taken with you to the dacha or to any other place where there is no electricity. The battery can supply electricity to the tool for a long time. Though cordless stapler and has no big drawbacks... but it is still worth purchasing such a tool only when it is not possible to connect an electric tool to the network. The fact is that:
- The mains-powered device operates with more power than the battery-powered counterpart.
- Any battery is discharged sooner or later. Such a tool needs constant recharging.
- The cost of the network tool is lower.
- The cordless stapler weighs more, which means that it is not so convenient to work with it.
Charging the pneumatic furniture stapler
The pneumatic stapler is reliable, fast and powerful. Any task is up to him. However, you need a compressor to work with it... which will create the necessary pressure. Usually it is used only in production, but there are exceptions. If you decide to open your own furniture or construction company, then this choice is for you.
Charging the pneumatic stapler is easy. First of all the device must be locked... to protect yourself from accidental activation.
- Click on the button that opens the staple tray. This will either open the tray cover or slide the tray out of the handle.
- Once again, make sure that the device is on the fuse.
- The staples are inserted into the tray with their "legs" facing you. Check that the staples lie flat.
- The tray is closing.
- The stapler is turned over with the working side to the material, the blocking is removed and you can start working.
It is better to use a mechanical tool to repair furniture in the house. For large-scale work, it is better to choose an electric one. If you are going to open your own production, then you should opt for a pneumatic device.
How to use a furniture stapler: device, work, tips
The furniture stapler is a fairly versatile tool with which you can not only perform the furniture upholstery procedure, but also a number of other construction operations. Today there are several types of such equipment. differing from each other in the principle of operation - pneumatic, electric and manual. Models belonging to the latter type are the most common in the furniture industry due to their mobility and ease of use. Let's take this example and consider the principle of operation, operation and repair of furniture staplers.
However, before proceeding to this procedure, I would like to say a few words about staples and their varieties.
Characteristics and types of staples
The main indicator, which is guided when choosing a bracket, is its depth. Depending on the nature of the work performed, this indicator can vary from 4 to 14 millimeters. So, for example, in order to carry out the procedure for upholstering furniture with fabric, a staple with a depth of 8 millimeters will be enough, while for fixing thicker materials, a bracket with a greater depth should be selected.
Also, depending on the overall dimensions, brackets are divided into the following types:
- 53 is the most common. Staples of this type are 11.4 mm wide and 0.7 mm thick. The depth of this fastener varies from 4 to 14 millimeters;
- 140 - having the following characteristics: width - 10.6 mm, thickness - 1.2 mm, depth - similar to the previous type;
- 36 - this marking means that the stapler can shoot with staples that have a semicircular shape and are used mainly for cable installation;
- 300 are special nails designed for staplers only.
When choosing a bracket, you should also consider the structure of the material from which it is made. So, regular steel staples are perfect for working with ordinary wood. However, if you are dealing with chipboard or plywood, then you should get staples made of hardened steel, as ordinary staples can simply bend.
How to use a stapler
In order to refuel the stapler with staples, it is necessary, first, to push back the spring intended for pressing them. The brackets themselves are placed in a special groove, in which, in fact, they must be placed. After that, the spring is put in place. The tool is completely ready for use.
In order to fix the necessary element, you should firmly attach the device to the place where you plan to drive the bracket. After that, without lifting the device from the surface, you must press the button (lever) of the trigger. In case of successful carrying out of these manipulations, you will hear a characteristic sound and see the bracket included in the material.
In order to protect yourself when working with a furniture stapler, you should adhere to some rules:
- in the case of using a mechanical model of the device, it is necessary to adjust the screw regulator. This operation should be performed on a piece of rough material by rotating the screw from minimum to maximum. If the bracket has entered to the end from the first shot, you can start working on the "clean copy". Otherwise, re-adjustment is required;
- in order to drive the staples at the same distance, you must first mark the necessary places with a pencil or ballpoint pen;
- hold the material with your free hand so that when firing it does not move from a pre-designated place;
- keep track of the number of brackets in the "store" so as not to be left without a single fastener at the most inopportune moment;
- after finishing work, fix the handle with a safety catch to avoid spontaneous or accidental firing.
In addition to all of the above tips, you may also need help repairing this construction tool, since the stapler, however, like any other equipment, tends to break.
The most common reason for a stapler to fail is a broken striker. However, in order to get to it, you must first disassemble the tool. This can be done by performing a number of simple operations:
- dismantle the adjusting screw;
- remove the spring;
- remove the protection cover;
- remove the pins;
- remove the lock washers.
After completing all of the above manipulations, you can see the drummer, which, for the most part, breaks down due to the development of its resource. In order to carry out the repair of this element, you should remove it, install it in a vice and, using an ordinary file, give the drummer its original shape. That's it, the repair is over, and the tool is again on full alert.

How to choose a furniture stapler? Furniture stapler device, instructions for use
October 30, 2015
Modern technologies allow you to independently equip your home with all the necessary furniture elements and decorate the house to your liking. In this case, an assembly such as a furniture stapler is useful. It is important to choose the right brackets for effective fastening of furniture fittings and the right device model. How to use a furniture stapler?
Principle of operation and purpose
What is the mechanism of such a device based on? Furniture stapler device consists of several elements.
Electric furniture staplers are the most popular option. 
Connecting to the mains ensures uninterrupted operation and supply of staples, saving time and effort. In the process of firing, the staples are pierced into a wooden plane and are strengthened through the fabric in the furniture part. This allows the upholstery to be held in place by braces from which only the back is visible - a thin metal strip. The clamping point looks neat, the fabric is firmly and securely fixed in place.
This is a handy tool that can be useful to almost everyone, not just professional builders. It often uses not only brackets, but also nails. Sometimes a furniture stapler is called a construction stapler due to the fact that it is often used in repair and construction work, when assembling furniture in factories.
Varieties
Different tasks in upholstery require specialized equipment. Furniture mechanical staplers are divided into the following types:
- mechanical;
- reinforced - for large and powerful staples;
- electrical;
- pneumatic and others.
Guided by the knowledge of the varieties and capabilities of different models, you can easily navigate how to choose a furniture stapler to achieve specific construction and repair goals. 
Buy a household or professional device on the market or in a specialized store - the choice in this case is determined by the range of problems that this useful device should help solve.
Mechanical devices
This type of construction includes a spring, which is the driving element. The advantages of a mechanical stapler are low, affordable price, as well as lightness and independence from power grids. Hence - and its disadvantages. Manual work involves your own efforts. Such a device can be used in the upholstery of softwood furniture, due to their soft structure, they are easier to process.
High power devices
When working with hard joints such as chipboard or especially dense wood species, it is most effective to use reinforced staplers. They usually require large and strong brackets - to clarify their length, you should look at the characteristics of the unit. If one type of stapler can drive staples up to 8 mm long into furniture, then reinforced staples - from 14 mm or more.
Electrical units
The most convenient electric stapler, which is easy and convenient to use in the home hauling of furniture. Some models allow you to perform work on an almost highly professional level. Disadvantages of such devices: high cost, dependence on power supply, as well as low operating speed (rate of fire). On average, such a stapler feeds about 20 staples per minute. 
At the same time, there are a lot of fakes of well-known companies from China on the market. If the price does not exceed 800 rubles, then this is most likely a fake. A quality product costs at least 2 times more.
Pneumatic device
This is the best choice for many parameters. Pneumatic staplers are the fastest, strongest and most reliable devices in operation. Their high-speed capabilities are practically unlimited, so they are often used in assembly shops of furniture factories.
But the pneumatic unit requires accompanying equipment - a compressor that creates pressure. Therefore, such a model can be considered stationary and used in one work area.
How to choose a furniture stapler? Instructions for use
If the issue with the choice is resolved, then further work with it should begin with learning how to properly handle such a unit.
The furniture stapler, the instruction to which is attached in our article, implies the presence of the main consumable resource - metal brackets. In the process of firing, they connect the fittings to the furniture.
The task of the worker is not only to think about how to choose a furniture stapler, but also to observe safety precautions in the process of work. So, the instructions for work:
1. It is important to disconnect an electrical appliance operating from the mains during breaks and observe isolation from possible electric shock. Use earthing items.
2. The battery should be recharged regularly for trouble-free operation.
3. There are no fuses from the staple stick out inside the stapler. It is very dangerous to get hit by a flying nail that can pierce an arm or leg. As a protection, you can use special brackets that will fix the handle in a safe position.
4. It is necessary to mark in advance a line that sets the location of the fastener. 
This will save time, allow you to accurately aim.
5. Pull out incorrectly hammered staples with a special nailer or pliers.
6. Before operation, the device is charged with a special cassette or a row of staples is inserted - depending on the charging system that is in a particular model.
During work, do not expose your fingers or other parts of the body under the working area of \u200b\u200bthe stapler - this can lead to injury.
Choice of staples
Furniture staplers, including the types of staples that are required for them, are usually made of two materials. It is hardened or normal metal.
In construction markets, in household hypermarkets, specialized stores, you can always find suitable staples for a furniture stapler. How to choose the right option? Pay attention to the characteristics of the device in the instructions. There you will find always the optimum size of the brackets for the respective work and effective fastening.
The size of the staples depends on the density of the material that they will hold together. If we are talking about a thin delicate fabric, then small parts of 10-14 mm in size are enough, and thick and dense fittings, leather are better to be connected with staples up to 16 mm long.
If we are talking about the use of nails, then the thicker the wooden parts are when fastened, the longer the nails are required (14-16 millimeters, and sometimes 32 mm with a thickness of 1.6 mm).
Staples are usually sold in sets - one pack contains approximately 1000-5000 units. In a cassette loading one cassette includes about eighty to one hundred pieces.
In the absence of instructions for the device or in a situation where it was accidentally left at home, the seller in the store will help you choose the right size of staples. It is better to have a spare box of staples in the process - the consumables are wasted quickly enough and may end in the midst of the furniture upholstery process.
Refueling the device with your own hands
The device was purchased, the brackets of the required size were selected. How to fill a furniture stapler with your own hands?
The principle of this operation is similar to the clerical version, which holds paper and cardboard together. The construction stapler differs only in size and purpose. The refueling process is extremely simple. It consists of several stages:
- print the box with staples;
- take out a separate block of stapled staples - get out carefully, they may come loose;
- open the stapler with both hands, holding it in your left hand, pull back the spring;
- put a block of staples in the free groove;
Some models have a different filling principle - they have a retractable chute that slides out when a special button is pressed. This groove must be removed, taken in hand and the staple row inserted with the ends down. Then the filled chute is introduced back into the apparatus until it clicks.
Then a test shot should be taken to check the quality of the stapling. 
This will lock the staples into position, even if they were inserted incorrectly during refueling. If a jam occurs, the device jams, remove the jammed staples, and repeat the refueling procedure. The check is carried out on the material by clicking two or three times on the test of the apparatus. The device is now ready for use.
The optimal model is the choice in the store
How to choose a furniture stapler for your home? For the constriction of one sofa or headset, you can buy a simple electric model on the construction market. If the plans include large-scale professional work with a large number of constrictions in the future, then such a modest unit will not be enough. In this case, you should choose a durable and high-quality machine.
During the purchase process, you should pay attention to the functioning of the main working part of the device, which gives the impact force. It is also recommended to carefully read the type and size of staples that are used in it. It is possible to purchase models with a convenient spout, which helps to reach hard-to-reach areas in the furniture body and carefully fix the upholstery around the entire perimeter, more precisely position each bracket. The quality of fastening directly affects the result - the condition and durability of the furniture.
Sometimes it is not a bracket that can serve as a fastener, but a nail. This is a rather dangerous type of work that requires specialized staplers. The staples are suitable for handling fabrics, leather, and various upholstery materials. If you have to work with chipboard or small wooden blanks, then you can additionally stock up on nails.
After the buyer has read the information on how to choose a furniture stapler, it should be clarified how often the device will be used. Working in the workshop at a professional level or doing home design experiments are different activities that require different investments. Many modern manufacturers supply home appliances with various additional attachments and safety elements that allow you to easily and easily perform various types of construction and repair work in addition to the main function. This is undoubtedly an important point in the daily use of such a useful tool.
When buying a furniture stapler, you should pay attention to one important detail - the presence of a case for storing it. Usually, all expensive models are necessarily accompanied by such a case, which may also contain spare brackets, additional components and instructions, a warranty card for the device. This is important in view of the long-term prospects of using the device - in order to maintain its durability, it must be stored in good conditions.
It is especially convenient to have a case if the tool will be transported from place to place - from an apartment to a dacha, to a construction site. It is best to choose a model with a branded case, but you can buy a special box separately. Often a set of additional fasteners is already included with it.
Furniture stapler - reviews
The popularity of such a device indicates the degree of its prevalence and breadth of application. 
Some users prefer German-made models (for example, Krause), others are content with Chinese inexpensive counterparts or domestic devices.
Experienced users recommend: if you plan to use the device frequently enough, then it is better to give preference to the option with an all-metal case. These models are quite resistant to external damage, will withstand severe tests in the process of working with hard wood species. This applies to Gross machines.
Other owners emphasize the advantages of simple devices for simple decoration manipulations: "If you need to cover small furniture items, benches, chairs made of soft wood or common chipboard, your hand will not get tired holding a simple stapler with a plastic case, it is enough." The most popular model is Presmak.
Most buyers agree that it is important to pay attention to the size of the handle. Whatever the quality of the instrument, if it is uncomfortable to hold it, then half of the work may turn out to be of poor quality due to the uncomfortable position of the hand. The handle should fit optimally to the size of the palm. In this case, the length of the handle should be approximately the width of the palm. This will ensure that the shot is easy to press and the target - the correct and strong fastener - will be reached on the first try.
The most important selection criterion is, perhaps, the price and purpose. For rapid-fire work, a pneumatic option is still required, and for infrequent household functions, a manual inexpensive machine will do.
Independent use
The furniture stapler, the instructions for which always tell you in detail how to work with it, is an excellent tool for implementing any creative ideas in the field of interior design and furniture decoration.
Having figured out how to use this device, the owner of the furniture has unlimited possibilities to decorate his headset or individual interior items at his own discretion.

How to choose, operate and repair a furniture stapler
Types of furniture staplers
Varieties of staplers by type of applied force:
- rechargeable. Convenient in that they are more powerful than mechanical ones and do not need an electric cable. But the presence of the battery increases the weight and cost. And the battery life is limited by the amount of equipment to be driven;
- with a network connection. There is no discharging battery, but there is a cable to carry around. Or connect to an extension cord;
Mechanical staplers are:
- with a coil spring. Has a weak shot. Allows you to work with soft wood only. Gives a tangible return to the hand. Resource up to 12,000 shots;
Coil Spring Stapler
Spring stapler
- household. These are mechanical and cheap low-power electric staplers;
- professional. These include more powerful electric and pneumatic tools.
Types of staplers by type of equipment:
- staples. Used for household work;
- nailing. They are used for professional and household activities. They work with large staples and nails. Tooling length over 12 mm;
- universal. They can work with flat and parentheses, nails and hairpins.
For the optimal choice of a stapler, you need to solve the following tasks for yourself:
- frequency of use of the tool: every day or from time to time;
- places of use: premises, street. Is there electricity;
- do you need the accuracy of hammering the rig;
- materials you plan to work with.
Select the type of stapler depending on the purpose and working conditions:
- for infrequent work with non-solid materials, a mechanical stapler is suitable;
- if you do not need precision in stapling and have the opportunity to swing, then consider choosing an impact stapler. It is lightweight. Attaches to the mounting belt;
- for a large amount of work in places where mobility is needed, take a look at the cordless tool;
- if you work in a room with an outlet and do not want to overpay for the battery, buy a stapler with a mains connection;
- if you need a stationary powerful device, take a pneumatic tool without hesitation.
What characteristics to look for when choosing a stapler:
- the presence of an impact force regulator. A power tool has two types of regulation: minimum and maximum or infinitely adjustable. Electric has up to 6 modes. The setting is done with a program switch. The thinner the material, the lower the impact force, otherwise dents will form;
- double punch. Only electric staplers have it. For hard materials, a large tooling is used that will not clog right away. The double strike mechanism detects this and triggers it a second time. If there is no such mechanism, then you will not immediately see that the nail heads are not completely hammered;
- removing fasteners with a stapler. If there is this function, then to remove a poorly hammered rig you don't have to do it manually or with a nail puller;
- body material. Structural steel staplers weigh more than plastic staplers;
- rubber inserts on the handle. Their presence reduces the recoil of the instrument, and the hand gets tired less;
- battery type:
- nickel cadmium are suitable for low temperatures. But they have a memory effect, so they are quickly discharged. They are used in inexpensive models;
- lithium-ion. They hold the charge longer, but they do not tolerate mechanical stress;
- nickel metal hydride. Lightweight and have a large charge resource;
- number of hits. The operating time of rechargeable staplers depends on this characteristic;
- power of the tool. The number of beats per minute depends on it. With an increase in power, the speed of the device increases;
- type of fasteners. Choose a stapler with fasteners that suits your application.
Staple selection
When shopping for staples, you need to know which staples fit your stapler. The type of equipment is indicated on the packaging, in the instructions and on the tool body. The staples have characteristics that must be considered when choosing:
- the form. It can be U-shaped or semicircular. The latter is used for cable installation;
- sharpened. Less effort is required to drive these staples;
- unsharpened. More often jammed and not always hammered to the end;
- height H;
- width L;
- thickness W.
The most common consumables are U-shaped staples marked "Type 53". They have found their application in the hauling of furniture with textile materials and in the combination of wood products, plywood, chipboard and hardboard. Staples of the 140th type are in second place in demand. They are shorter and thicker. Due to the increased area of \u200b\u200bcontact with the material to be joined, the likelihood of material tearing at the point of attachment to the base is reduced. Therefore, they are convenient when working with thin details: fabrics, PVC film, as well as with wood, plywood, chipboard and hardboard. The semicircular staples are of two types.
Construction staplers are also called furniture staplers. They are increasingly used in construction, furniture production and households. Used for punching and bonding various materials. The tool simplifies many operations. So that the hand does not get tired, in some types a battery, a connection to the network or a pneumatic mechanism is provided. Due to this, the work is significantly accelerated. For many stapler models, nails and round staples are used as consumables in addition to conventional staples for attaching wires. Impact force and penetration depth are controlled by special regulators. This increases the accuracy of the work. To choose and operate such a device correctly, you should know some of the nuances.
The principle of operation and purpose of construction staplers
A stapler is a device for attaching sheet material to a base. The construction stapler looks like a pistol.
Its action is reminiscent of hammering nails. To play the blow, you need to press the trigger or the cocking lever, depending on the type of instrument. And then release the trigger. With the help of a system of springs located in the body of the gun, the clip from the holder is fed into the outlet channel and instantly driven into the material. The moment the trigger is released, the bracket moves to the exit. Therefore, in the passive state of the stapler, the rig is already ready for hammering. In some models, the staple legs are bent, in others they are simply driven in. Not only staples, but also nails can be used as accessories. You don't need to make any special efforts, so the process is easy and fast. It can be used by women and the elderly.
The stapler is designed to perform two types of tasks, which expands the scope of the tool:
And in fact, and in another case, the mount is reliable. To increase its resistance to deformation, a consumable is used in which the sharpening is performed asymmetrically, or the coating melts.
Staplers are used in various industries:
- in construction;
- when renovating premises;
Nailing skirting boards with a stapler
- for the production of furniture;
Padding furniture upholstery with a stapler
- when laying a cable;
- in the production of packaging;
Stapling cardboard with a stapler
- for the manufacture of greenhouses at their summer cottage.
Types of furniture staplers
Varieties of staplers by type of applied force:
- mechanical or manual. Powered by hand. Low power is a disadvantage of such devices. But there are also advantages: light, cheap, compact. Mechanical staplers are reliable in operation, as they consist only of a body, a lever and a spring mechanism. There are two types:
- electrical. There can be two types:
- pneumatic. The most powerful staplers. They work due to the pressure of compressed air. They have a hose for connecting to the compressor, and sometimes an electric cable. Therefore, they are inconvenient for household use. They are used in manufacturing and construction. They have a high cost.
Mechanical staplers are:
Classes of staplers:
- household. These are mechanical and cheap low-power electric staplers;
