You don't see them on the shelves much anymore but it works well. I had the stapler/nailer and took it back. They disappeared for a while but now they are back on the shelves at HD. Perhaps they improved it. I have the Ryobi One+ Stapler only. You don’t see them on the shelves much anymore but it works well. I had the stapler/nailer and took it back.

Cost me about $30 shipped. Depth control is via regulator pressure so it's simple and the ergonomics aren't as nice as my PC brad nailer. But it works great. I've used 9/16" staples and it buries them. And it's cheap.

This tool is pricey - but drives the Arrow T-50 staples and some that are a bit longer. It'll set you back over $200 without the battery: http://www.tools-plus.com/makita-bst221z.html?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=froogle&utm_term=MAKBST221Z Makita has replaced their older cordless stapler with a new member of the 18V Litium Ion Line.

It works OK (not great, but OK) and uses the same battery as the rest of my tools while being about half the price of this Arrow dealy. I have the Ryobi stapler/nailer that’s part of their one+ line.
