I fired several staples as I would when sheathing a house, checking on the performance every few staples. The test for construction staplers include a scrap of ¾ inch plywood and construction lumber. I stapled in different locations to see how well the staples would penetrate. I stapled a piece of chair-rail molding to that piece of Douglas fir. Then, I took a piece of scrap leather and stapled it to the lumber with each gun, again, testing the penetration.įor the finish staplers, I used a similar method but with 18-gauge staples. The depths of the driven staples proved valuable when judging their power. With that experience in mind, I was able to come up with a test to challenge these staple guns.įor the manual staple guns, they were each loaded with the same T50 staples and then fired into a piece of scrap Douglas fir construction lumber.
