Harbor freight crown stapler-reviews?

I am usually reluctant to purchase items like this thru HF, but I ran across
this and wondered if I should make an exception. It is 18 gauge, 1/4"
crown,-air stapler. Do any of you own this, and is it worth ordering? It
will be for occasional use, but I think it would be nice to have. Another
question, is it hard to get staples for it?

thanks for your advice!

I've got one, light use, and it is fine. I too not a hugh fan of HF, but I had
some drawer bottoms that needed stapled. I get staples at Home Depot. BTW I
have a Portor Cable brad nailer, $135 or so. Great nailer, but after my
experience with the HF stapler, I wish I had tried the HF brad nailer. Get a $4
fishing takle box to store it.

I have one and like Phil, I feel that for light use it is just fine.
Seems like a box of staples of some forgotten size came with it and the
whole shebang cost something like $25. I bought and used some 1" on a
project.

I picked up one of those recently and they're a good deal at
$24. They take standard staples which are available at most
hardware stores, Borgs, etc.

Go for it!
