Actual Stapler NOT as shown in picture 
2006-12-20
I offered to purchase this for a family member for Christmas and after researching a lot os sites found what I thought was exactly what I wanted here. The PICTURE SHOWS the stapler in a case with the two attachments that I was looking for. The attachments are also listed in the description. My brother already HAS the stapler but I bought the whole package to get the case and the attachments. ALL YOU GET is the staper. Could have bought that at HOME DEPOT FOR THE SAME PRICE. Now I have no gift and look like an idiot because I trusted AMAZON. First time buyer and VERY DISAPPOINTED. PUT THE ACTUAL PICTURE SO WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE BUYING!
It jams... alot 2006-11-22
Ok, I've had nothing but trouble with this stapler, and it quite possibly could be a simple defect in my particular one, but I have to comment, regardless.
I put up with this staple gun for some time before moving on to another (Stanley, actually and hasn't jammed yet), because this one just kept jamming... over and over. Despite using Arrow staples, in all sizes recommended for this model, I just couldn't get more than 3-4 staples in without it jamming again.
Seems that others have had better luck, and that's good. At least my issues are rampant. Just be aware, there could be more out there with the same defect as mine.
Good quality

You can use this for havy duty projects, as well as for delicate projects. Very good qualy. Ezy to use.
Fantastic tool! 2006-05-31
After trying a couple of other manual staple guns I have finally come back to this tried and true beauty. Works as advertised, plenty of power, puts the staples in cleanly and doesn't jam. Great for occasional small upholstrey jobs and odd jobs around the house.
Not bad.

In response to previous reviewers' observations that this tool jams frequently, it is a fairly cheap tool. For the money, I find it to be a value. Although advertised as "Heavy-Duty" this tool is not for contractors requiring a heavy use stapler. But for small jobs, it fits the bill nicely.
I used my Arrow T50 today to secure some indoor/outdoor carpeting to a flight of porch stairs. Throughout the more than 120 9/16" staples (the tool's maximum allowable size), I experienced zero jams.
So get this stapler if you're a homeowner or occational user. Contractors needing a heavy-duty tool for roofing, vapor barrier, or similar applications where many fasteners are needed quickly, get a hammer-stapler or "slap-tacker" like the Arrow HT50PBL. Happy fastening.
Once Quality, Now Junk! 2008-06-14
The Arrow T50 staple gun used to be a simple, dependable tool. I had one for 20 years and never had a problem with it. My staple gun disappeared from the job site, now I know why -- the old ones worked, the new ones are junk! After 2 hours of frustration trying to tack insulation, jams every few minutes with Arrow brand staples -- I took a hammer to it! Save your money and buy something else!
jams and breaks 2008-05-25
O.k, all I was trying to do was build a "cat condo"! I simply needed a staple gun to staple the carpet to some wood. I remember my dad had a staple gun that worked great, and would shoot staples across the garage. So I went to Home Depot to get a staple gun. I found the Arrow T50 that looked pretty familiar, so I bought it along with two boxes of different size staples. I took it home, loaded some staples in, and could not get it to work. I tried to hold it at different angles, and tried everything I could think of. It finally started shooting staples, but only about 1 out of five would work...So back to Home Depot I went. I returned the thing along with the remaining staples, and hoped to find a "better" one. There were not really many other options, so I thought I would try another one! So I bought another T50 along with more staples. I took it home and again immediately had problems. I loaded the staples and it didn't work! I tried to remove the staples, but they seemed stuck. I tried to use it again, and eventually got some stapling done. I tried to load the second round of staples, and it jammed completely, and would not work at all. I just don't know why this thing won't work. I have the correct T50 staples of different lengths, and none seem to work correctly. I believe this is similar to the one I remember from long ago, except I remember the staples being wider. I don't know how Arrow could have made these things this long, and yet they work so badly. Did they change the design? Did they cheapen the parts? So I have to go back to the Depot again for the return. Maybe I'll see what Lowe's has. Stanley also makes a stapler, so maybe I'll give Sears a try too.
Jams about every 4th staple! 2007-11-23
as someone else said, perhaps it is only the particular one I was unfortunate enough to buy, but this is maddening to use this tool. I'm at the Amazon website right now looking for a replacement.
No Staples 
2007-03-01
Would have been nice if this product came with staples or there was an option to buy staples. Guess I'm off to Home Depot with heavy staple gun in tow trying to find some staples. Don't know how it works because there aren't any staples..LOL
good product 2007-01-04
this gun helped me a lot when i needed to put the wire from my tv in the first floor to my computer in the second floor, i put a lot of wire and it worked good, the only con could be as a woman you will probably get tired, you have to press really hard.
