I got mine years ago as a present. Didn’t have the heart (or the nerve)to tell the gift-giver I couldn’t figure out how to use it. So it’s been sitting in my toolbox ever since. Today, I decided to look it up online before I threw it out. I am so glad I did! DUH!! It’s so simple! But why in the world wasn’t there even a little picture to show how it loads? If not on the product, then on the refill staples box? Thanks so much! It works great and I’m so glad you put this up for us to see!

Thanks, saved us a lot of time trying to figure it out.

Thank you, I was ready to toss the staple gun through a window. The Stanley people should get on board as their manual was illegible.

Under the guise of “crowd control” or some other euphemism I would say it’s an almost certainty that it will be used to record peaceful protests.

Wonder if they will use them at the Occupy protests.

Ack! After a little ‘percussive maintenance’, I gave up trying to figure this out myself and took it to the neighbor’s house to see if they could figure it out. They couldn’t either, but they DID manage to shoot the spring loader across the room. The package says it can take 5/16″ staples, and that’s what I’ve got, but they’re not fitting, no way, no how. Does anyone have a set of pictures for loading this? I’ve only found one set online, and the pics don’t show diddly (waay too small). I appreciate your explanation tho- it’s nice to see that I’m not the only one who had problems with this!

I don’t think anyone answered how you load brads. Here is a site that shows a picture: http://notes.ricochet2200.com/home/other/load-brads-in-stanley-staple-gun

Thank you Soooo much…I’ve laughed so hard reading everyone’s comments. I too was feeling so stupid – glad to know I was not alone. I guess misery loves company!

You little beauty, so easy when you know how! For the lack of any sort of hint the design team should have their b******s nailed to a board, with the sharpshooter of course.
