Fasco 11081F DUOFAST 50 SERIES F1B 50-16 1/4"-5/8" 0260027

It had no weight and seemed to be made of all aluminum and plastic, a product I was skeptical about when I got it. Even so, it is extremely well built. There are probably two types of PA, PA66 and fiber reinforced PA66. Almost everything in this photo is black except for a few accents. This blue body is made entirely of cast aluminum, and the staple slide is made from Overall, this is a really well-made bag, and I like that it has been made lighter. I am able to manipulate this machine far easier than my old electric, which weighed more than ten pounds. It uses Duo Fast 50 series staples (1/2" wide staples, NOT arrow It is a pleasure to use Real Duo Fast staples. This was needed quickly for a project after my electric went out (I couldn't find a half within a short period of time). When I met the minimum line pressure, I got misfires and saw that the line pressure had dropped to just below At 60-degrees, it worked great According to the recommendation, 90 is good. There have never been any misfires or jams. I ran about 300 staples through it to complete the project and I am extremely happy with the result. My ability to aim and squeeze to fire is slower than my ability to fire. There is no surface safety on this trigger (only on the trigger). A bit of an awkward grip was required for the trigger safety. I had to squeeze my middle finger to unlock the safety, followed by pulling my trigger finger to release it. This is the only thing that kept it from being the perfect 5 stars all the way through. Once I got used to it, though, it was fine, except you have to staple upside-down at the end of your On my old electric, there was no safety, so I had to have a better grip. I did not have to deal with those kinds of situations regularly, and I honestly didn't have to be as dangerous as I like this product very much.

A stapler already exists in my possession an Arrow electric stapler. Staples of this quality are great. As a matter of fact, I already have an electric Arrow stapler that should not be mentioned together. However, I still wanted to use it for other projects after learning that professional upholsterers prefer to use the narrower version. The product works great for upholstery, and has the added benefit of being environmentally friendly. This type of staple is easier to pry out than a narrow, fine gauge staple in case you need to remove it. Safety levers, while uncomfortable, become less annoying after you use them for a series of chairs before they finally fall The trigger switch is too poor to take away a star. I have no issues with the stapler.

My favorite thing about this tool is everything about it. Unlike my older, much heavier and bigger Duofast electric tool, this tool is much smaller and lighter. The trigger lock did not work well, but it was more comfortable after cutting it off (a terrible design. The staples don't come out of the furnace when it fires. Over the trigger, there's an air leak that I can see. There is some mention of an O ring that may need replacing in the manual. Are you replacing? Is it safe to use after only a few days? Additionally, there is no information on how to do such a thing, and I can't tell from looking at the tool what to do. In any case, it's now just an expensive blue piece of paper. The Fasco Company has not been able to be reached (it is based in Italy). It would be a great tool if it worked. In the absence of this, it is useless. You should beware! ** Update** A new tool will be introduced by Amazon soon. The prose is simple and easy to read. My review will be updated as soon as I've used the I hope I just got a lemon, since if it works, it's a great tool. ** Update** Thank you so much, Amazon, for shipping the tool very fast. In my opinion, it's a pretty powerful tool for such a small device. I have lowered the stars to 4, only because of the slight uncertainty.

It is a good tool for commercial use although not perfect. This stapler has been in use just under three months, and I've stapled a ton of papers with it. There are no surprises with its power and it is consistent with its I found it to be very A quick-reference guide It's nice to be able to reload staples with the release staples.

The safety trigger guard-thing was really awkward, but luckily it broke and fell off on day two, and now it's much more convenient. I'm docking 1/2 a star for the poor design, and (thankfully? the poor quality of that particular part. The rest of the gun seems to be in excellent condition. A very durable material is used in making this. A stapler prefers to staple full rows of staples If you load your data with a couple of short partial rows, it won't like it. Whenever you load only a few partial rows, you get a few I don't consider this to be a major issue, but other guns we have do not have this issue, so I deduct I had a problem with the pusher blade jamming, and I called Fasco Customer Service who guided me through the fix. For customer service, I would give a 1/2 star, but we don't yet know why it jammed (there is no obvious reason, and we do regularly oil the tool), When you are 3-years-old, Considering this gun costs ten times as much as cheaper ones, I only recommend it if you are able to find it on sale and if you will be using it frequently and/or commercially. It might be better to get a cheaper gun if you only need a gun occasionally.

This stapler is highly efficient and produces a lot of staples. I appreciate its rubber grip and lightweight aluminum housing. It is a powerful and robust tool. We disapprove of the plastic staple guides because they are brittle and may crack or deteriorate with age (we would rather have had metal staple guides). Aside from that, I don't like the plastic safety lever, which is cumbersome and must be moved out of the way to release the trigger. With the aid of a small pin punch, the split pin holding the small safety lever can be removed. I am - It was a very good experience for all A stapler that is durable and of high quality, that will last for a long time.

It is a must have tool for me to have a high-quality stapler like Fasco. We were able to reupholster the dining room chair so easily with it. It has stapled over 4000 staples with not a single jam or misfire. In terms of performance, it is amazing. Buying junk is a waste of money.

It does not perform well with partials. It is very efficient. Staple strips in partial strips do not adhere well to it. We were disappointed to see the staples ( ordered separately ) were in a damaged box and many strips had been broken. The machine became jammed frequently due to them. As I understand it, the problem does not necessarily arise from the tool, but rather from.

It was still great but even better because of that! My job is to work in a set shop and make repairs We have a lot of canvas walls! I'm amazed at how wonderful this has been. Only one thing I did not like was the safety where you had to hold onto it with one finger and then shoot it The bag broke after a couple of months of use, so that was very awkward. My need to be extra careful has now been eliminated, and the tool works perfectly now. It is possible that I will even get another one to use at home. Depending on how comfortable you are with the lack of safety, I strongly recommend it.
