Good staple good, went through thick wood well

This is an excellent staple gun with 500 staples included (5 types, 100 of each!) The build quality feels solid, and the gun is comfortable to hold. There is a clip on one side so you can hook it onto your belt, and you can actually take this clip off and put it on the reverse side if that is more natural for you. This clip is sturdy and is a nice touch I didn't expect. The lever is easier to press down on than other staple guns my partner has used. You need to put the staples at the bottom of the gun, and this took several minutes to figure out - especially with the assorted staple shapes. But once this part is clear, the staple gun is very straightforward to use. My partner was able to punch through thick wood with the metal staples included. They are firmly in place and the "power adjuster" was very obvious and effective. You can see from my photo the staple that went through with low power, next to the high power one. It is very handy to own something that supports many different uses, and we already bigger projects in mind. Other things to mention would be the gun not being wholly made from metal, but it is robust all the same. It comes nicely greased. My gun was made in Taiwan. The price definitely could be more competitive but this is a good staple gun and better than the one we have already!

Versatile, Powerful Stapler that Performs Well

The media could not be loaded.









This staple gun arrived in a plastic retail package that also contains a box of five different staple types (100 of each).My old stapler has seen better days and the difference when using this one was enormous. It’s powerful and drives staples cleanly (see video).To load it you simply pull the slide out, drop the staples into the bottom of the body, push the slide back in and you’re ready to go. Even though it has some adjustment you do need quite strong hands to use it.I do a lot of DIY and the versatility of this stapler in being able to handle so many different types of staple is perfect for me. I’ve already used it to staple a small wire along some wood edging and to repair some upholstery and it performed well.My only criticism is that at £50 it is rather expensive compared to similar items available at the local trade warehouse and that loses it a star.

Good quality

I always find that Kimura branded tools are very good quality. This may not be the cheapest staple gun available, but it is very solidly made and feels as though it will probably outlast me.I got this stapler because I am about to re-upholster an old stool. Stapling down the cloth makes it easier to get the tension correct (pinning tends to pull the cloth unevenly).The stapler is pretty versatile and handles different staple types, as well as some pins. A selection of these is supplied with the tool but you only get 100 of each type, and you will soon run out. All of the sizes are standard, so getting more is no problem. It's not worth going for the cheaper option, if you buy a good tool like this you will only ever need to buy one.

Decent heavy duty ‘6-Type’ staple/tack gun

I normally associate ’Kimura’ with decent quality gardening tools etc, not normally this sort of product. However, when the ‘Kimura 6-Type Staple Gun’ arrived it felt typically robust and well made. It’s worth noting that Kimura products come with a lifetime warranty, if you fill out the form on their website. That said, this is where it gets a bit strange, in that I can’t find any reference at all to the staple gun on the Kimura site. The instructions for use are luckily on the packaging (see photo) but I was hoping for a bit more detail on their website, particularly which staples are more useful for particular tasks etc.Still, the staple gun works well, you get a selection of 500 staples of 5 different types and it’s ideal for the tacking job I needed it for.It was originally priced at about £50, which is pricey compared to some other options out there, but this is one heavy duty staple/tack gun.

Very hard to staple - Kimura 6-Type Staple Gun

Very poor instrucction re: staples loading.When clicking on the QR code it takes me to Kimura Stores website, but not the product and when looking for this stapler on the website, I couldn't find it.I took this gun as my other one is pretty difficult to use in some situations and I hoped, Kimura will provide a btter solution.Now, it is very expensive at £50 but it is very well made and built.Once I worked out the proper position of loading staples, I tried it. Ah, and the U staples don't line up properly sometimes. I shook it and it loaded ok.It is hard to press. Very hard for me. I wanted to try it hoping it will be easier than my other staples gun.Also, it is loud! Adjusting the power, one thing it was hard (for me) to move the slider, and second, I really didn't notice much difference.I used it to staple some covers in the garden to my fence. It can be used for furniture or even stapling small cables, so it is versatile.To me, it is too hard and too expensive.

Professional staple gun

I got this item because I found out a few weeks ago that my rather ancient staple gun has rusted badly in storage out in the garage. I needed to staple a new ironing board cover on and when I used it, I found that it was in a very poor state. Our garage is unheated and rather damp in winter, so clearly the years of being exposed to damp have not done the old stapler any good at all.This one is the same type of design as my old one and will use the same range of “U” and straight staples and nails. However, it feels considerably better made than my old one, being constructed of aluminium for the outer body, with rubber padding on the handle and even a belt clip on the side, which can actually be moved from left side to right side, which is helpful for people who are left handed for example. It also has variable stapling force which my old stapler lacked.The staple gun comes with a small selection pack of staples of various types and since these are standard staples it is easy to get more as needed. The staple drawer on the gun is easy to take out and put back, and the handle has a retaining clip for storage.One thing that puzzled me for a while was how to fit the staples into the gun! There is a graphic on the base of the staple holder indicating which side of the mechanism to put the staples in, but I could not figure out how to get the staples to load properly so they were tensioned against the staple head. My old stapler had a sprung insert in the staple holder that you removed, loaded staples and then put back. On this stapler I could see the spring mechanism, but there appeared to be no way to remove it. Eventually, I realised that I was being dumb and the staples are not loaded from the rear. You unclip the holder and pull it back, then load the staples into the base of the gun while holding it upside down. Once loaded, you press the spring mechanism back in until it clicks and then your staples are loaded and ready to use. Easy when you know how, and to be fair, there is an instruction on the package insert to explain how to load the staples (which of course I had not read before attempting to load the staples).

Works well for upholstery

A really useful little staple gun for jobs around the house. I like that it takes six different staple types, so it’s more versatile than the basic models that only work with one size. It feels solid in the hand and has enough power for general DIY tasks without being unnecessarily bulky.I’ve found it handy for things like securing fabric, upholstery and lighter materials. The mechanism works smoothly and loading the staples is straightforward once you get the hang of it.A practical tool to have in the DIY box, especially if you regularly do small repair or craft projects.

Doesn't jam

Kimura 6-Type Staple GunThis handy little staple gun is great for basic jobs around the house. It feels solid and durable in the hand and is easy to use once you get the hang of the different staple types. I’ve used it for small DIY jobs, securing fabric and fixing a few bits around the home, and it's done the job well without jamming. It can take a fair bit of pressure on harder materials, but it's doable anyway. The instructions aren't beginner-friendly. Overall, at £19.99, I think this is a useful tool to have around if you only need a staple gun occasionally; good value for money given the overall quality.

Kimura 6-Type Staple Gun

Solid, powerful and versatile staple gunThis is a substantial, well-made staple gun that feels reassuringly robust in the hand. It's quite weighty, but not excessively so, and feels considerably better built than cheaper staple guns I've used.One of its biggest advantages is versatility. It accepts six different types of staples and brads, so it's useful for everything from upholstery and crafts to general household DIY and attaching materials to timber. The power is adjustable too, allowing you to alter the force depending on the material you're working with.It's powerful enough to drive staples cleanly into wood, and I like that it comes with 500 assorted staples in five different types, so you can actually experiment with the different options straight out of the package. Loading is fairly straightforward once you've worked out how the staples sit, although the instructions could be clearer about which type is best suited to which job.It does require a reasonable amount of hand strength to operate, particularly at higher power settings, so that's worth bearing in mind.At £19.99, though, I think it's very good value. Interestingly, several earlier reviewers considered it expensive when it was selling for around £50. At less than half that price, the solid construction, versatility and included selection of staples make it much easier to recommend.

Good for DIY and general repair etc

This Kimura 6-Type Staple Gun is good quality. It feels well made and finished to a good standard. I found it sturdy and durable. It feels comfortable to hold and straight forward to use. It can use a good variety of staples and loading them into the gun is straight forward to do. I used it to upcycle a stool for my little ones desk and attach some bunting to her wendy house. The power of the staple gun can be adjusted for the job required. The higher the power, the more power you need to use to press the lever. I googled to find out what was best to use for the chair as I didn't want to damage it with too much power. This staple gun works well for jobs around the home, though I am sure you would need something better for professional jobs. But for what I needed it for, it done the job and done it well!

A good stapler but pricey

This Kimura staple gun appealed because of the varied staple types it's suitable for.It's of a sturdy Aluminium construction and definitely feels rugged. The trigger handle is rubberised so comfortable when using.Will fireType 53 / Type 140 / T-50 / JT21 / T25 / 53/13 Staples and F15 & P15 nailsThe depth/power adjustment makes minor difference, I found that highest the staples are slightly below the surface of the wood I was stapling onto and lowest setting they were slightly proud... Perhaps different materials might make more difference.No jamming while I've been using it, I've only really been using stainless type 140 staplesEasy to load staples into and easy to fire (it is a little stiff). Comes with a small box of staples, it'd have been nice to have a selection of types.I just found the price a little steep despite it's diverse choice of staple options. (£50 at point of ordering)

Chunky professional grade staple gun

I've been helping my son do up his flat and one of the jobs we've had to do is fixing down carpet underlay after having all the floors up for various reasons. This staple gun made the job almost a pleasure compared to my old one. It's all metal and therefore a professional grade tool, which got the job done with no fuss. I like the selection of different sized staples that came with it, and it also accepted a selection of staples that I already had in stock.A little expensive but I think you get what you pay for with tools. And this is a quality bit of kit. Therefore, highly recommended.

works well

This is a good quality staple gun. Its a hefty weight but in a good way, feels quality. Not too heavy to operate easily. Hasnt jammed so far when using it, i did find it a bit confusing regarding what staples would work with this as its the first gun ive used, so maybe thats on me, fitting the staples i found a bit hard too, but again its probably me! however once they were in, it works well, i actually stapled a corner of my tapestry to a wall to see if it worked , sorry landlord... and yes it did work really well. Oops. Its a versatile stapler, works well on bed slats too. Ideal if you need a staple gun.

A versatile staple gun that's handy to have around

I've used a few staple guns over the years, and this Kimura model stands out because of the range of fixings it accepts. Being able to use multiple staple and nail types means I can tackle a variety of jobs without needing several different tools cluttering up the workshop.The gun feels solid in the hand and has enough weight to suggest decent build quality without becoming uncomfortable during longer jobs. I've used it for securing garden fabric to timber and a few general DIY tasks around the house, and it performed reliably throughout.Loading staples is straightforward, and the mechanism operates smoothly with no frustrating jams during my testing. The firing action requires a sensible amount of pressure and delivers staples consistently into wood and similar materials.I also appreciate how versatile it is. Rather than being limited to one staple type, it adapts to different projects depending on what fixing is needed, making it a useful all round tool for occasional DIY work.It is not a professional trade tool designed for daily heavy use, but for household repairs, upholstery projects, crafts and general DIY tasks, it offers plenty of capability at a sensible price.If you like having one tool that can handle a variety of fastening jobs, this is a worthwhile addition to the toolbox. Reliable, easy to use and versatile enough to earn its place on the shelf.

Sturdy manual staple gun for basic household upholstery work

I ordered this manual staple gun to help with some upholstery repairs and basic DIY projects around the house. The tool has a solid metal build that feels durable and heavy in the hand, suggesting it can withstand regular use. Operating it requires a fair amount of hand strength to compress the spring, but the handle is designed to distribute the pressure reasonably well. Loading the staples into the bottom channel is straightforward and does not require any additional tools. I tested it on soft wood and fabric, and it managed to drive the fasteners flush without jamming. The firing mechanism feels consistent, though you need to hold the front down firmly to get clean results. While it does not include many instructions, it is intuitive enough for anyone who has used a standard stapling tool before. It performs the basic tasks well and serves as a handy addition to the toolbox for quick repairs.

A heavy duty and powerful staple gun that can be used with multiple staple types

I often use staple guns at work for tacking down underlay and roofing membrane and this staple gun is ideal for the job. Its a heavy duty tool that is full alloy construction and feels solidly built. It is powerful and easily sinks staples into softwood and even hardwood, which would also make it useful for small upholstery projects.It can be used with 6 different types of staple and brads, which makes it versatile and not fussy with what type of staple you use with it like some staple guns can be. To load it you just squeeze the catch on the rear of the staple gun and pull out the spring loader and then drop in the staples. There is a slider on the top of the gun to allow you to adjust the power. At the higher power setting, it makes the lever harder to press, so its good there is a lower power mode for when you don't need the extra power, although I found both modes easy to use.I have been using it for a few weeks now and its been performing great. I haven't had any jams and it easily sinks the staples into the softwood construction timber I have been using it on. Its fast and easy to reload it and isn't fussy about the staples used. One thing I also like is that its held together with bolts, so if it does ever require maintenance, its just a case of removing a few bolts with a hex key.Overall I am very happy with this staple gun, although I'd say it was a little expensive at the price of £50 at time of order. That said it is a quality tool and should last many years if looked after.

A very clever design that can cope with 6 different types of staples

This staple gun is a very capable and versatile tool, with its standout feature being compatibility with six different staple types. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from light upholstery and crafts through to more demanding DIY and repair tasks. The mechanism feels solid and well engineered, with a positive trigger action and consistent staple penetration into wood, board, and similar materials. In use there is very little misfiring or jamming, and the overall build quality inspires confidence.Loading and changing staples is straightforward, and the magazine design makes it clear when you are running low. The ergonomics are good, with a comfortable grip and controllable recoil, so longer jobs are easy to complete without excessive hand fatigue. My only negative observation is that it is not obvious where to obtain the full range of compatible staple types, and clearer guidance or bundled information on staple supplies would make ownership and ongoing use even better.
