Staple Gun or Hammer Tacker: Which Do You Need?
A standard staple gun such as Arrow's T50 is squeezed by hand and suits controlled, precise fixing such as upholstery or light trim work. A hammer tacker, such as Arrow's HT50 or HT55, is swung and struck like a hammer, allowing much faster repeated fixing across larger areas such as insulation or underlay.
