Customer Reviews for Arrow PowerShot 5700 Forward Action Staple Gun

I'm enclosing my tomatoe plants for a little longer growing period as they still have alot of tomatoes on the vine. My old arrow stapler fell apart and now I bought this one a STAPLER TRUTAC to replace.

The PowerShot was great for installing our insulation on the back porch, very easy to use. It has great handling with the finger hole in front and hand grip behind it, just load it and start stapling. When you staple you push forward which makes it much easier to use especially when you have a big project. Would definitely recommend this one particularly if someone has arthritis , much easier to push and not have to grip and squeeze.

The 5700 is easier to use and more powerful than two other brands that I have used over the years. The design provides a more comfortable grip and the power is immediately confirmed with the first staple.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They have made the tool so easy, my wife loves it. It has a very smooth and easy handle. The release is easy and secure. Love it.

Have only used this product twice and now it’s broken and the part you push to staple is broken and won’t reset. This product is garbage.

I purchased this to complete a small upholstery project. Removing the product from the packaging was a nightmare. The staple pusher is difficult to remove and replace. The stapler constantly jammed. After spending an hour on a project that should have taken 20 minutes, I had to spend another hour returning it to the store so I could purchase a stapler that works. The ergonomics of the design are excellent, but that’s the only positive I can find in this product.

Ease of use when installing decorations, and I highly recommend for all daily use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Have used this for both staples and brad nails for multiple projects. love the ease of use with the front trigger. Highly recommend this proguct.

Spend $20 more and get the better one. This broke after only 15 minutes of use. Garbage!

Purchased this to replace old worn out stable gun of the same brand. Had the first one for many years without a problem. This new one is constantly jamming. Do not come at me with the whole "make sure you're using the proper staples" because I've used staple guns for years and know what I am doing. The new one really socks! I do not know what you did but put it back to the older one because I'm tired of having to clear jams after one staple. I have also attempted different staples of your brand with no luck of not having jams.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly the best machine I have ever used. Simple to use and fast. My wife loves it. So easy to use

Don’t buy this model. I’ve had two of them fail on me shortly after purchasing. Fortunately Arrow has excellent customer service and replaced them with a better model.

The worst stapler I have ever used. I spend more time digging out jammed staples than actually stapling things up. Can’t make it through a single sleeve of staples without having to dig out staples multiple times.

I used my power Power Shot stapler to repurpose an old cork board bulletin board into a Wedding photo board for my son’s upcoming wedding

I bought a powershot many years ago and the spring broke after a few years. For some reason I bought another one last week, it was rusty in the package, Luckily the store let me exchange it despite having already thrown the packaging away. This one broke within 10 staples. The lever that lifts the plate that drives the staple doesn't align properly so the handle just flops around uselessly. I will absolutely never buy an Arrow product again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had some repairs to do on dining room chairs, hanging decorations, and hang targets. This product was blessing due to ease of use. It is small, fits the hand well, and love the handle. Have lost grip and power in my hands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good product. Recommend. Does it’s job and does it solidly. Code:1117

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Every time I have to do anything project. I know this product comes in handy and helps me on every job

Poor product….constantly jams.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this tool. I can hold this stapler in place and successfully shoot off the staple with accuracy.

The forward action staple gun is perfect for me. I have strength issues and being able to use the forward action makes staples easier for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect addition to the crafting tools! Easy to load and use! Love that it can be used for staples and nails!

This didn't even make it though 25 staples without breaking, it's all made of cheap plastic.

Seems to be made cheaper than they used to be

Jammed on me so often that I already returned it. Poor quality compared to my older Power Shot

This is a worthless tool. Did about 25 shots then constantly jammed. It jammed to the point I was having to disassemble it and clear jams. Would not even feed one set of staples as the plunger would not go all the way. Finally threw it off a 30 foot roof and low and behold the jam came free. I wish I had read reviews prior to buying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the perfect tool for attaching my wall mural. i needed some light weight tool that was easy to operate and this was it. Staples went in with ease and firmly held my mural. Easy to load and easy to operate. Perfect for home use.

Planned a project in the attic and bought a new staple gun so I wouldn't have any issues. This thing jammed straight out the package. I spent a long time clearing the jam and trying to get my project going. Finally gave up and exchanged this stapler thinking it had to be just bad luck. The second staple gun also jammed multiple times and even started pushing two staples out at a time. This caused a hazard as the second staple had been stapled in place with the points facing out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use the Stapler for a lot of different projects, hanging lights and reupholstering chairs and stools. I was looking for an electric one but couldn't find one! CODE 1117
