does this stapler only works with an air pressure, or I can use as an regular stapler? If so, what kind of parts do I need to buy?Thanks

You do need a compressor, but a small one will be fine. I have a 1-gallon compressor, which could drive this thing all day. (Not literally, but it has more than enough reserve for the rate at which I'd be stapling.)

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.

Only with an air pressure. You will need air compressor not more than 120 psi. It will not work with pressure under 65 psi. I got best results between 70 and 85 psi.

this item works only with a compressor. An electric stapler will never work as good as a pneumatics stapler.

I used Bostitch crown staples and had no issues. I also used finish nails along the outside edges where I couldn't use the stapler and that worked fine as well. Good luck!!!

This is a awesome portable compressor and it will shoot staples but not at a high rate. If you need to shoot several staples per minute than you would need an air compressor with a larger motor. I use this compressor for small trim projects as so I don't have to lug around a heavy one. I hope this helps.

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!

I'd look at a different model of heavy duty stapler. This particular model jams with my every use. I'd spend ten more dollars, and get something that works. Mine will be visiting the recycling bin soon enough.

It will staple about 15-20 sheets with 30 lbs. of force......yet takes little force to use......highly recommended

Its just a nail. It's not a stapler, it's definitely a nail gun. And it works very well. It's a good buy for sure.

It's thin so a hand stapler will work fine . A air gun may be to powerful .i stapled a 50' fence section a few months ago... It's still standing.

That's a good question. I hadn't even tried do that, so I went to my office and spent several minutes with it to see if it had that capability. It does not. At least if it does, I could not find any method for configuring it to allow for stapling things to the wall. Sorry. It really is the BEST stapler I've ever owned - no more stapling over and over to get a staple cleanly through a stack of papers - but if you need to staple things to the wall you'll need a different model. Good Luck!

To load the stapler, you will need to push the endcap at the back and it will loosen from the spring loaded maganism. Pull it out and load the staples.

Regular heavy duty construction stapler & a small hammer, try 1/4 in staples. You may have to tack them in w/hammer, if not secure enough try 1/2 in.

It is a "GOOD" / "Great" stapler. But for 1/4" I would use smaller gage staples or be realistic and Glue down .Best I can do for you

I agree with others suggesting that this stapler does not have enough power for 5/8" flooring. It just barely worked on my 3/8" engineered. I had to up the pressure to 120 psi.

Depends on how thick the cable is. If it is like the flat speaker cable then just be careful to not puncture the cable. It is a nice stapler.

Reducing the pressure of the air compressor should do it. Also reducing how hard you press the staple gun against your project would help.

The air compressor should have a regulator. That's how most air guns set depth of fasteners. Less air, less power shot, shallow shot! More air more depth! Hope that helps Chris. Best stapler I've owned.

Yes it does use regular staples. I changed to the suggested longer staples (I have a CPA office) for tax season. I did not have one jam up the entire season and the stapler was used a lot every day. I am moving to larger office the end of the month and will probably purchase several more of these for each room in the new office because of its impeccable performance since I purchased it. Again the regular staples do work but are not long or strong enough to securely fasten all the pages.
