Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bought the hammer tracker to attach straps to leftover deck boards - making a collapsible tabletop for my deck. Hammer tracker is easy to load and use - it takes some practice to get the right amount of effort (I am a woman of a certain age), but the tacks went in well to composite deck board.

Hello, wow impressive job using this on your composite deck boards! We're glad to hear that you like your hammer tacker. Using a hammer tacker does take some getting used to. A consistent swing and contact can help minimize jams.Good luck with future projects! Your Arrow Team

Hello, the HT55 is perfect for projects involving housewrap, insulation, roofing and flooring. Loading the tool is made easy due to the quick-load magazine. In some cases, it’s even possible to reload with just one hand. Enjoy! Your Arrow Team

Fast and no misfires
Used this stapler to fasten some vapour barrier and to skin a wall frame with thin cardboard in preparation for kids to paint a large mural. Worked great and far easier on the hands than a regular squeeze stapler - gotta be quicker too.

Does the job!
I bought this because I’ve used other Arrow staplers in the past. It lived up to expectations up on the roofs. Not having to slam the tool hard to work and no jams made for quicker finish times. Great tool.

I am installing house wrap and roof underlayment and my wrist is very pleased that it does not have to squeeze out 2,00 to 3,000 staples. Such a nice tool

Love this tool
Had one of these for years, never a problem, more than happy with it. Yes I work in construction so the stapler was always well used and abused.

Worked some of the time
It's ok, deployed extra staples way to often, seriously jammed 3 times(only used genuine t50 staples) requiring needle nose pliers to fix and I'm only half done my roof! Bought the mid priced one thinking it would be better than the cheapest, didn't seem to help! Tag told me I'd get a free storage caddy(for staples) for writing a review code number 1117 couldn't figure out where to input this number(when i clicked on the links they didnt work), thinking of lowering my stars this website needs a little work!

Hello, thank you for reaching out. Make sure the staples you're using aren't too long for the application. Here's a link to our staple guide: https://bit.ly/49n2Zwd. Try to keep the head of the hammer tacker straight and level as you strike the surface of the material. Also make sure you're loading it correctly. Here's a link to a video that demonstrates loading: https://bit.ly/ht55-load. Here's a video that demonstrates clearing jams: https://bit.ly/30o1ESv. A member of our team will reach out for more information. Your Arrow Team

Solid Drive
Had a few beers, maybe some vodkas and a topper of wine. Got the urge to start the insulation for the newly finished garage. Got this stapler to make the job a bit easier. Was holding the vapour barrier up with lefty. Hammer tack in righty. Put a little too much gravy on the fries, missed the twobyfour, righty kept going, losses the footin' a bit. Drove a 3/8 T50 through the leggin' into the the left leggy. Slipped on some sawdust and bunk'd my head on the exposed wall. Clean drive in, pair of pliers pulled out the staple np. Solid build quality.

Good quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good build quality. It is easy to use and take apart if you need to clear a jam. I like that it holds 2 strips of staples so you don’t have to keep reloading it.
