That's good to know! I'll keep my receipt for the return! But for $20 bucks, I'll risk it!
Thanks for the feedback.

I have had one for some time and it works great, but now I am trying to wean myself from Chinese products no matter how good of a deal.
I am struggling because we import so much.

One of these was given to me as a gift. It jammed horribly the first time I pulled the trigger. Had to disassemble part of it to clear the jam only to have it jam on the next brad.

This gun shoots up to 1.5" crown staples or 2" nails. What were you guys shooting when you had your problems with the gun?

I just bought my second one . The first one worked great while I built frames and only shot the staples. Then I assembled some deeps and used the 2" brads with it, now it jams about every 3rd staple. From what I gathered in the trouble shooting section I have a bent driver (very slightly) apparently. I believe it to be from shooting the brads (who knows for sure). I bought the second one to get rid of all my staples I bought with the first one. My next one will be a better one for sure.

I bought this one to use strictly for stapling frames. Haven't decided to use 1" or 1.5" staples yet though!
I will probably get a heavier duty nail gun if I were going to do boxes, bottoms, or tops.
Suggestions on what staple length to use?
