Time to replace my old Stanley. Putting up Christmas lights today which always brings out enough colorful language without a “fail to fire” about every third shot.
Any recommendations? Don’t need anything fancy, not looking for corded or battery. Just something that will shoot a basic 1/4-1/2 every time.

Most of them if they shoot at all won’t put a staple through a piece of cardboard

Arrow. Pick the one that uses the size staples you want to use. Cushion handle is nice.

Arrow works for me. You can buy 1/2” staples for it if you want.

I guess I’d go with a rechargeable battery operated if it would keep me from turning into Clark Griswold!

Aarow T50 and T75 (for wire/cable) have always been the best.

Thanks for the replies.
Looked at the Milwaukee and Dewalt battery powered, not worth the $’s for my use.
For <$20, have a T50 inbound.
Kingston - Not seeing the T75, for applications similar to this, the T25?

I bought the Dewalt manual staple gun and really like it. It works.

I see you have it figured out with the T50.
I've got another, Bosch maybe, supposedly "ergonomic" when I bought it twenty years or so ago.
The T50 stays in my range bag if that tells you anything.

IME Arrow T-50... Got mine used over 30 years ago. If they still make 'em I'd buy another one in a minute if mine died.
