Surebonder TriggerFire Staple Gun
For all the Dads who love innovation in tools to make their jobs easier, Surebonder has redesigned the manual staple gun, putting a unique twist on an old standby. The TriggerFire staple gun is here to ensure easy, precise stapling with one hand, with style, and in total comfort. Here’s the twist, it has two stapling modes: Trigger and Normal. In Trigger mode, simply squeeze the handle to pre-set the staple gun, position the tool on the work surface, and then squeeze the Trigger to set the staple. This is perfect for getting into those tight spots, like between studs or overhead. In Normal mode, the TriggerFire functions as a traditional staple gun.
This staple gun is also equipped with an Adjustable Staple Depth mode that adjusts the force exerted to set a staple. This feature comes in handy when using various staple lengths into soft or hard woods. The TriggerFire uses Surebonder #4 or Arrow T50 type staples and features an easy Drop-In-Staple loading design. The heavy-duty construction and easy-to-use design makes even the toughest projects a breeze. Available at your local Lowe’s stores and Lowes.com
