It looks good well made but it should mention in the description that adapter is needed for Australian power points I’m hoping that it will work well

I bought this with one thing in mind-- fixing the plastic fairings on my motorcycle. My bike is old and, although it doesn't look like it's ever been laid down, some of the fairings had mounting tabs that had cracked off. Vibration, heat, and years of UV will do that to plastic. I had already fixed one with fiberglass and epoxy but holding it in position until the resin dried was a bit of a pain. I had a couple more tabs to do and coincidentally saw a video of someone using a hot stapler like this one. It didn't take long for me to start searching for an inexpensive one to try out. When I bought it, this was the cheapest hot stapler with decent reviews. It cost $23 and at that price I expected it to help me fix a few fairings and then maybe burst into flames or electrocute me. Well, I haven't been electrocuted or lit on fire (at least not by this tool). In all I sunk maybe a half dozen staples into the fairings, then used epoxy and fiberglass cloth to reinforce the areas wherever I could. Even without the fiberglass, the repairs were pretty strong. After the epoxy dried, the mounting tabs were at least as strong as they were from the factory, probably stronger. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to use. The price was low but it works fine and doesn't feel cheap. The position and depth of the staples was easy enough to control, which was a relief because the fairings are thin and I was afraid of blowing a staple out through the other side. This tool paid for itself in a single use. The sub-$25 I spent wouldn't even buy a single fairing for my old bike (assuming I could even find any) so I'm dollars ahead already. This is a great entry-level tool if you want to fix a couple of things quickly and inexpensively. It's also a good starter tool if you're on the fence about how useful it will be. It does a good enough job to earn a spot in my toolbox. I'll keep using it until it either breaks or I run out of things to fix.

Works great used for repairing old ATVs

I bought this to repair plastic attachment tabs on the interior trim of my son’s BMW. The trim isn’t available anymore and very hard to find used with hood tabs. This worked great! I had some of the broken pieces and was able to fuse them back together with the straight staples - this was easy to use - heats up in SECONDS and the hold is STRONG! I like that the heat is variable based on how much you pull the trigger - this is helpful with some thinner, softer plastic. I was a bit hesitant to purchase the lower wattage, less expensive version of this tool, but was glad I did! It gets plenty hot enough to do the job. This seems well made, the finish/quality of the tool is good and it “feels” good in your hand - not cheap and flimsy. It performs better than one my buddy paid $90 for. As any other tool, it takes a bit of practice to get the feel of it - I did burn right through a few practice pieces before I got the hang of it; but once I did, it was easy. It also works with the .6mm refill staples that are readily available on Amazon. The .8mm work also, but don’t quite fit as well in the elements. Don’t hesitate to buy this product - it works great.

Tool its self is not too bad so far. What I did not like is that they show one think in the add and send you smaller number of staples.
