Manual stapler

[catlad]

Can anyone recommend a stapler that can be used easily with one hand, used mainly for roofing felt. (Not the tack hammers) I have those type. Thanks

Arrow T50 are good quality

Stanley TR75. I bought one this year. Seems fine to me - takes all sorts of staples and pins.

All metal models are better , drop one with plastic parts off a roof and parts can shatter .

What was wrong with it, Catlad? I have a T50, but TBH it only gets used sporadically, so I couldn't say whether it was good or bad - other than it's all metal and I'm less likely to kill it if I drop it (I think)

I used a few cheap staplers first but they didn't last very long, then I bought this from screwfix

and that was a lot better and has lasted about five years so far, it still works but it gets jammed quite regularly now after being left on the roof to many times.
So I decided to buy a new stapler and I thought I would get the best one the builders merchants sold which was an arrow T50 all metal one that cost about £45 it looks solid, almost indestructible, which it probably is! but it feels unwieldy and hard to press when stapling overhead.
