Tools and Hardware Reviews of Surebonder 9615, Upholstery Stapler with Carrying Case

Customer Review: Good tool, nearly useless instructions
Summary: 4 Stars

This tool is a good value, coming in at about half the price of the others offered on Amazon. It does the job just fine, and while the fit and finish is not equivalent to higher priced tools it will give good service.

My main criticism is the manual: it is obviously written by someone whose first language is not English, important details are left out, loading instructions very ambiguous, and none of the specifications (operating pressure, staple size, etc.) are given in units that an American would understand. This is OK if sold to someone outside of the American market but potentially dangerous for those who are and can't do the conversion. Staple size is obvious because they are standard and Amazon sells the Surebonder staples (which are a good product and value as well - I bought an assortment with the staple gun). Pressure: The maximum operating pressure in the safety warning works out to about 100psi. I get great results with 1/2" staples through loose weave fabric into pine at about 65psi - adjust accordingly.

Loading staples: open the hopper (they call it a "clip", like a gun!) by pressing the lever at the back of the gun and the spring will push it out. Turn the gun upside down, pull the pressure plate all the way out, then put the staples in the bottom of the opening and snug to the front of the gun. Push the pressure plate mechanism back in until the lever engages with a click. It takes a bit of jiggling to get the pressure plate to slide over the staples.

Oiling the gun: they tell you to put one or two drops in the "joint" before operation then fire it a few times without staples in the gun. I think the joint is the opening where the staples come out, what I would call the nose. I assume that this is a once when you first use the gun operation, but maybe I'm wrong. Like other pneumatic guns (nailers and staplers) I put a few into the air coupling at the back every use. HERE IS THE IMPORTANT PART: you need to shoot many (20-30) staples the first time out before the gun stops depositing oil next to where the staple is shot. Glad I found out on a cheap scrap and not $250/yard fabric!!!

Safety nose: this should be no big surprise to anyone but since the manual doesn't mention it I will. The gun needs to be pressed against the surface where you are stapling so that the little metal plate that comes out of the nose is pushed back in. This probably only matters when trying to fire it without staples per the instructions for first time use - nothing happens if you just pull the trigger with the nose not pressed against a hard surface. Note that the safety will easily mar a softwood surface, this should not be an issue with upholstery but I'm telling you now so you don't get an ugly surprise in the rare situation where that would matter.
