How to Load a Stanley Staple Gun

September 28, 2021 By Andrew Morgan Leave a Comment

The Stanley Staple gun is a heavy-duty staple gun that you can use for decorating, upholstery, construction, or crafts. The tool uses Stanley heavy-duty staples from ¼ inch to 9/16 inch long. It has a loading window on the front of the gun that allows you to see when you are almost out of staples. Also, it has a locking handle that prevents staples from misfiring.

You can use the Stanley staple gun for quick, simple, and effective upholstery, light construction, and trimmings. Loading your Stanley staple gun is easy to load. The loading process is not complex. All you need to do is understand the type of your staple gun and you are good to go.

Loading the Stanley staple gun is an easy task. The Stanley bottom loader has a spring-loaded plunger, which you retract by gripping it from the rear of the magazine and you need to pull it back. However, you need to note that the plunger does not come out. You need to pull it out as far as it goes and put your Stanley staples directly into the loading latch with the staple legs facing out.

How to load the Stanley Sharpshooter Staple Gun:

  • Here are the steps to follow when loading the Stanley Sharpshooter staple gun:
  • Make sure that the handle safety is on and that you have locked down the handle. This will prevent misfiring if at all there are any staples left in the magazine
  • Turn the staple gun upside down and locate the lever, which holds the magazine in place. The magazine of the Stanley Sharpshooter staple gun is at the front of the stapler
  • Release the loading latch at the end of the staple gun and pull the side open. Pulling the lever out exposes the magazine
  • Insert your staple strip. Ensure that the legs of the staples are facing up
  • Push the slide until the loading latch clicks and catches. You have to make sure that you hear a definitive click to be sure. Releasing the plunger forces the staples against the front of the loading latch. There is a metal flange on the front of the track that ensures the staples are held in place and do not fall out.

What is a heavy-duty staple gun?

This is a robust staple gun that is designed to offer long-lasting service for all-metal construction. It is also designed to cover your high-volume stapling needs. A heavy-duty staple gun can hold up to 160 sheets.

What staple size do I need for upholstery?

You can use almost any medium wire and fine wire staples for upholstery. However, this will highly depend on the fabric for your project. 20 and 22 gauge staples are very common staples that are used for upholstery. T50 series staples 20 gauge, #8 (80) series staples 20 gauge, and #7 series staples 22 gauge are the most common for upholstery.

What size of Staples does a Stanley tr110 and Stanley Sharpshooter use?

The Stanley sharpshooter staple gun uses 3/8 inch staples. On the other hand, the Stanley tr110 uses Arrow T50 staples or TRA700 Series ranging from ¼ inch to 9/16 inch.

What size of staples does a Stanley tr45 use?

It uses the Stanley TRA200 or Arrow JT-21 light duty staples. These are durable, versatile, and are designed to ensure that you accomplish your tasks efficiently. The JT-21 staples are the smaller version of the T50 staples. They are normally referred to as light-duty but have the same precision and quality as the T50. They use a thinner wire in the smallest staple gun to ensure that they offer great holding power.

Final Thoughts

Therefore, you will understand which staples to purchase for your staple gun. Additionally, you will be able to know how to easily load your staple gun when required.
