It won't staple. I loaded the staples multiple times and it will not staple the paper.

Loading staples wasn't intuitive for me either. Look on YouTube for the guy having his 4 yr old demo the proper way. It is simple. Hint. Turn stapler bottom up, slide out the tray, then drop staples point-up into the body of the stapler, close it up. Voila.

When you open the stapler the slide bar should come out a little bit. Pull the slide bar all the way out. Using the standard 26/6 staples lay then into the slot with the points facing you. Push the slide in until it clicks and close the stapler. It should work.

Make sure the staples are the right way ( so the point would go through) and then make sure the back part that slides in clicks. If that doesn't work then maybe yours is defective. That happens.

That is probably because you do not staple trigger properly inserted. The push arm should be inserted between the staples and not as a push rod as is typical with staplers.

Mine broke too. To replace it I bought a $5 standard chepo. Still going strong...

Hi, Meg. I bought this for an upholstery project on my boat & it worked great on 4 layers of Naugahyde. Supposedly it will work on multiple pages of paper too but I haven't tried it. You would need to stick with staples designed for the P22 but I've been able to get them at our local hardware store as they also carry this 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!!!

Here is the deal, it says you can use the 1/2" staples, but I tried with the half inch and it will not load! It does load with the 1/4" heavy duty staples. It's not that they don't know HOW to load it, it just wont load which causes confusion.

It doesn't use any staples at all. It makes a self folding self tab. Don't "staple" more than 5 or 6 pages or it may jam.

If the wood is not hard and you find long enough staples it may work. It is a powerful stapler but it looks like you are taking it to the limit

It does not take any staple. The way it works is as follows: the paper is first cut twice: one like the outline of a belt, another like a slit opposite the first cut. The belt-like section will then be folded and tucked into the slit to secure the papers together. It works well, although performance depends on the number of papers and the paper grade. Obviously, the paper will have a small hole left in it after the operation.

I didn't get staples with my stapler, but I purchased a few different size staples at the same time I purchased the stapler. When I bind thick books around 1/2" I learned to slowly press down on the handle until the staple does its job. Do it fast and it will crush the staple.

mine works awesome... if you are having trouble loading the staples, take it to your local hardware store and they will assist you, or help you find the right staples or brad nails for your nail gun.

When I opened mine, the staple slide opened for reloading. After closing that, it I tried to staple and it worked it the open position. Hope this helps.

Yes it does. You just have to make sure when you stretch it open you need to push the "staple loading channel" back into place. But as long as you know that it's no problem at all.

It does not come with staple, however, it takes standard staples. This stapler is loud but work very well and has not jammed.

We tried that and the cartridges still didn't work. I took it to staples and they said they were no good especially the colored one.

It is not a heavy duty stapler. Its more like a regular desk stapler. I think 8 pages max.

It doesn't use any staples. It punctures the pages and folds over the punctures in such a way that the pages are held together by the folds.

Yes. We have been using it in my CPA office with no problem. We have stapled 2 to 35 pages so far with no problems using regular staples.

You can pull it back to open it to load staples, but as far as I can tell you can't open it to staple something on a wall. I could be wrong but I just played with it and couldn't find a setting to open it so I could staple paper to a wall.
