Have you ever felt so dumb you didnt know what to do with yourself? This is how I felt using the Stanley TR45. This staple gun is mind numbing. I had to wait until my anger subsided to describe the hatred that I feel for this product.
I recently moved and could only locate one of my two staple guns. I could not recollect why I had two staple guns, but I remembered that the this one was not my favorite. Too lazy to look for the other one, I decided to make do with what I had. When I opened the back of the gun I could not figure out how to load it. Puzzling...what to do?
Google it. There had to be some other like minded individual out there that could not figure out how to load a simple staple gun. Yes! My results produced a myriad of responses out there from similiar users like myself who perhaps were not as smart as a fifth grader. One user wrote: If you are asking this questions then perhaps you should't be using it." LOL. This was indeed funny in the first fifteen minutes of my challenge, but not in the last. After reading all of the post my staples still wouldnt load! Frustrated I jammed the staples in manually, but still no luck. Duh.
After failing over and over again, the only thing left was to admit my defeat to Mr. Patrick and ask for help.
I was given the look at first. You know the one that I'm talking about....The Are you SERiously asking me this dumb question? Mr. Patrick removed my jammed staples and then told me that I probably had the wrong size. "Why don't you just buy a new gun?" Nope. Too cheap to invest more and too lazy to look for my other gun. I proceeded to venture to Target to get replacement staples. When I returned the staples still wouldnt load! Frustrated I decided to sleep it off like a bad dream. I questioned my mental capacity. Maybe I still had pregnancy brain. Who knows...anything is possible.
The next day I went to Home Depot for help. The associate gave me the same look I received the night before. He proceeded to show me how to load the gun, and look perfectly satisfied in his achievements once loaded. The staples then flopped in and out and came out of the back end. "This never happens!" he stated. He looked completely humiliated. "There must be a defect in YOUR gun." Right. I happened to glance at the shelf and noticed that this gun was marked at 7.99, about ten dollars cheaper then the other guns. THIS must be why I bought the thing to begin with.
Later on I realized that other people have had this same problem. There is no defect in my gun, this is a common problem. Nex time dont waste your 7.99, because it will cost you more in the long run. As my mother-in-law always says "Cheap things not good and good things not cheap". I will never learn.
Yes. I DID just spend a perfectly good twenty minutes ranting about a staple gun. Hopefully you wont make the same mistake.
