I've had this exact staple gun for years in my tool cabinet. Never used it until today to fix an issue. I didn't have the instructions and kept loading incorrectly. After a few frustrating minutes I came to TH-cam and found your video. Got it all working and very grateful for your video!!!!!!
I spent a half an hour trying to figure out how to load the brads into a 2nd hand Stanley tool I bought at a reclaim center. Thanks for showing me how. I never would have guessed that on my own!
I bought a Stanley aircraft aluminum at goodwill, so if course no manual. had to figure it out on my own, but until your video I didn't realize that it also works for nails. I had no clue what a brad was. Yes I'm a 50yr old woman who recently got into refurbishing dressers/,tables etc. Torsl newbie. lol. Ty
I have had mine now for just over 2 years. In that time I have replaced dust covers on a number armchairs and settees using staples. On bookshelves that I have made I fire in brads to hold the backing board in place. I can honestly say that the gun has never jammed on me in all that time. However, I do agree with people that note that the adjustment for the counter-sink doesn't make a great deal of difference. Putting pressure on the rear of the gun as I fire the staples/brads however, does make a noticeable difference to aid in the counter-sinking. On the whole, it sounds like I have been lucky with mine compared to others. For the price, I'm quite happy, to be honest.
Thank you so much for this video it really helped me because I never use a electric stapler/nail gun before. I just received mine today and thought it was not working because it didn't do anything until I thought I better try it against wood and it worked.
When you adjusted pressure, you held the stapler too high so the direction of increase/decrease wasn't in view. That's what I was looking for since I can't see any difference whichever way I turn it.
I love this tool. By the way, thanks for demonstrating the brad installation. Mine works perfectly and I have used it for a couple of projects. Very handy and light weight.
You are awesome great teacher thank you so much love you was having hard time with brad nails without instructions, you saved my ass, God Bless You All The Way To Heaven's door thank you again ten fold😘 great product when ya know how to use it, I posted on my Facebook page what a great teacher you are thanks again, your biggest FAN add of now!🙆🏻♀💁🏻♀as of now, I mean!
Now I wish someone at Stanley would explain why TRA700b staples labeled as being compatible with "TRA700 series" staplers is only compatible with TRA704 and up but not the TRA700 stapler.
The problem with tool reviews as they come out of the box is that they give no info on the life of the tool. Mine had only occasional use and suddenly, just beyond warranty, and without any explanation, died. And Stanley does NOT stand behind this product. No repair parts are available. FORGET THIS PRODUCT!!! And by the way, the control knob for depth of set is not variable, it's only HI/LO, so tool reviewers should be reading instructions BEFORE they shoot and post a video.
I have one of these staplers....Mine is very,very erratic......works 2 or 3 times then stops. Have to shake it a couple of times then it works again for 2 or 3 more staples. Was going to take it apart but it has these crazy Chinese screws....would not buy another one.
Mine worked great, then just refused! I had done enough to justify the purchase. But still felt it should have lasted a little longer. I heard the spring on the safety plunger, becomes detached... I will open it someday...
I like the fact that they are making electric guns, compressors can get noisy, but this gun is not up to par. I'd like to see one at double or triple the price point with the ability to fire 2" brad nails, and staples. I'd pay $100 for that gun. Even for the small DIY'er this doesn't seem like a very viable option imo. As of now a compressor seems to be the way to go.
I have got the same one and for some reason stopped working half way through my work and I wonder if is the fuse that has gone and if so can I change the fuse? I checked the power point is sill working the problem is with the machine. Any advise?
how easy is it to squeeze the trigger? do you have to apply alot of pressure to the gun to staple it in all the way? because its tricky stapling 10ft high walls with insulation and reaching over to use a manual one is a PITA!
Power adjustment? I noticed it seemed like u were unsure what way to turn the knob which I assumed, means it's not marked very well. To up the power did u turn it clockwise? Can u make that more clear and how much more power does that gun have? Thinking of getting one
I have one of these. Sadly it died spontaneously after only a handful of uses. Looking at some of the comments here and reviews elsewhere this seem to be all too common with the TRE550 series. Has anyone done on autopsy on this device ? I took mine apart and strangely nothing stood out superficially - the board looked clean with no burnt or popped components, and when I had used my DMM the solenoid, connecting wires, and fuse were tested ok for continuity. I'm not sure where the problem lies. Any help would be appreciated.
I had to replace this twice(under warranty) its still crap, Have to remove and redo at least 50% of the staples and the ones that do seat still need to be hammered in. I only use it to staple canvas on to pine stretcher bars so it shouldnt be a problem at all.
Can tell you're a good guy, and can tell you know your way around tools. However this video was sorely lacking in so far as the depth adjustment knob on the back side of the stapler. I mean I realize that you turned it and said it wasn't working but then you said something like "let's turn it all the way the other way" or something like that and then you just sort of gave up on the whole endeavor. That is the most important feature to me in a stapler and you sort of brushed over it. Other than that you give great tool advice and great tool introduction and explanation of features just fluid on this one in terms of the depth or the strength knob on the back of this one. Is that fair, or am I being unfair on that?
I am a homeowner with a day job who does not do anything construction related for a living. That being said I am working on framing out my basement and Bought this th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt gun. I have done a few walls already, have probably shot a couple hundred nails through this thing and have yet to have a misfire. It works awesome, good depth on every nail if you have your compressor set right. My literal only complaint is that it is a bit heavy and my arm can get a little tired especially whrn I am nailing at odd angles. That being said I am super happy with it and would buy it again. Hoping the old girl allows me to get my whole basement finished out!
I was just using this gun, and I think it died. It sounds like it's firing staples, but they don't come out. How do I fix it? Still got staples in gun.
You should have got your wife to trial it, as I know for myself I have the trigger on a few so darn stiff after a few nails it starts to tell, or the kick back when the nail enters the wood etc, a lot of women use these things, and naturally a guy tends to have a firmer grip and stronger fingers , just a thought 👍
The adjustment knob cycles 7 clicks. Turning it as much as you did is not correct. There is a + and a - on the knob. If you turn past the - it goes back to +.
Stanley Staple TRA 704 = 1/4 in. 6.3mm. TRA 705 = 5/16in. 7.9mm. TRA 706 = 3/8in. 9.5mm. TRA 708 = 1/2 in. 12.7mm. Brads TRN 120= 1/2inch length. 12.7mm. TRN 580= 5/8inch length. 15.8mm.
I am a whole sale manufacturers of sofa structure still using 🔨 hammer and nails to make structure I am really in need of nail gun but electric nail gun for 50mm nail not pneumatic please guide me
I have the Stanley TRE500. It takes me 10-15 staples before I can get one to actually go in. Even at that I have to hammer it further. The adjustment will never get it to countersink. Poor product.
Never buy a Stanley product that requires consumables unless you expect it to be a limited use tool because you will never know if you'll be able to refill with the exact exact exact same model. I have a TRA 700 model staple gun but despite the staples I bought being called TRA700b n35 18 and 18 gauge they dont fit. So basically if Stanley changes even a single letter or number odds are it's not compatible. Also just because it says they are compatible with your tools series doesn't mean they are compatible with every tool in that series and they won't tell you that until you read the fine print. And you thought the cell phone industry invented planned obsolescence.

No seriously 😂😂 almost 2 hours for me thanks to this video it sped up the process ‘ 🗣️😂✅
Thank you so much for showing us how to insert the Staples and how to use the stapler. We truly appreciate it!!
Only video I found that actually showed how the staples are put into the gun. Thanks
Really appreciate this excellent demo, bought one at a yard sale and had no idea how to load brads. Thanks
Thanks, this video taught me more than the paper instruction that came with the Bostitch BTE550Z.
I bought a Stanley aircraft aluminum at goodwill, so if course no manual. had to figure it out on my own, but until your video I didn't realize that it also works for nails. I had no clue what a brad was. Yes I'm a 50yr old woman who recently got into refurbishing dressers/,tables etc. Torsl newbie. lol. Ty
Saved me a lot of time, I was loading them from back and getting dry fire. I just needed to load them correctly from bottom front. Thanks for help!
Thanks for this video, just what I was looking for!

Thanks for your help. I received this stapler as a gift over 10 years ago. I’m just using it now and couldn’t figure out how to load the staples
Thank you so much for this video it really helped me because I never use a electric stapler/nail gun before. I just received mine today and thought it was not working because it didn't do anything until I thought I better try it against wood and it worked.
Love this tool!!!! Purchased about 5yrs ago, no problems!!!
When you adjusted pressure, you held the stapler too high so the direction of increase/decrease wasn't in view. That's what I was looking for since I can't see any difference whichever way I turn it.
l was given this used with no manual thanks for posting this video on how to use it
I love this tool. By the way, thanks for demonstrating the brad installation. Mine works perfectly and I have used it for a couple of projects. Very handy and light weight.

Very useful, thank you

nice, though I wish you'd used tougher material such as plywood.
Thanks for showing how to load brads
Thanks, but I would liked to have seen how it performed with 9/16" staples.
Can you direct me to a trouble shooting my Stanley tre550?
Mine worked great, then just refused! I had done enough to justify the purchase. But still felt it should have lasted a little longer. I heard the spring on the safety plunger, becomes detached... I will open it someday...

Did i miss what size nails to use or are they the same size as th staples?
Very nice

Nice

Thanks dude.
will this work in upholstery......stapling thick fabric like velvet to wood?
Where did he find a staple gun ?
Good
Seems like this product is better then dewalts 5 in 1 cordless model.

It's exactly the information I was seeking
Hey there. I just got one of these and it's firing multiple staples at once. Any ideas why it would be doing that?

Thats what they cal M O

I've turned the nob all the way both ways but my staples only go in about 1/8"
How do I fix aping in the Stanley staple gun
Will this staple a plastic tarp on a piece of wood and keep the tarp from tearing ?
If possible to use longer nails than recommended?
Thank
how to prevent the stapler from jumping when I pull the trigger? Jumping does not make for a good staple.
Do you think its powerfull enough for russian plywood?
Not sure. You might need to tap them in with a hammer if they don’t go in all the way.
HowToWith GEO Thanks! I'm may try it then
I was just using this gun, and I think it died. It sounds like it's firing staples, but they don't come out. How do I fix it? Still got staples in gun.
can you change the length of the nails or is it only for one size?
Hi I just purchased one of these today and the instructions say they use 10mm 12mm 15mm brads. I hope this answers your question
I'm from Pakistan I want to buy this machine from where i get this ?? Plz tell me
I looked everywhere for a picture of the inside of this staple. my spring came out and I need to put it back together?
Same here
Will this work for window and door moulding trim?
You should have got your wife to trial it, as I know for myself I have the trigger on a few so darn stiff after a few nails it starts to tell, or the kick back when the nail enters the wood etc, a lot of women use these things, and naturally a guy tends to have a firmer grip and stronger fingers , just a thought 👍

What air compressors to get to work this, give me the name brands ?
hello joi where find that machine please gave me a link
The adjustment knob cycles 7 clicks. Turning it as much as you did is not correct. There is a + and a - on the knob. If you turn past the - it goes back to +.
but all + and all - don't seem to make any difference at all.
Thats because you kept turning it, like loads so you would not know what level you were on. As ricqik said there are 7 levels
Procedure to get one for personal use
Can you tell the EXACT staple width size in mm? I see only the staple length, but not the width.
Stanley Staple
TRA 704 = 1/4 in. 6.3mm.
TRA 705 = 5/16in. 7.9mm.
TRA 706 = 3/8in. 9.5mm.
TRA 708 = 1/2 in. 12.7mm.
Brads
TRN 120= 1/2inch length. 12.7mm.
TRN 580= 5/8inch length. 15.8mm.
Mine won't sink the staples? Worthless for upholstery.
You really need to press down on the stapler or it will only half sink them. Plus, make sure to turn up the pressure knob.
Where is Budden's gun?
I want to buy this machine ,
Could any 1help me how to place my order
how many watts has this stapler?
It's a bit hard to use two hands to use stapler when you also need a hand to hold up insulation or other materials. Not practical.
Guess who didn't read the instruction manual before trying to demonstrate it.
