meite MT7116LN Pneumatic Upholstery Stapler 22 Gauge 71 Series 3/8" Crown 1/4" to 5/8" Length Long Nose Stapler

This staple gun turned out to be perfect for my application if stapling electronic wires (18-22 gauge) to plywood. It took a bit if adjustment to get the air pressure right. Too high, the staple cut the wire. Too low, the staple didn’t come out. Once I got the air pressure set right, this works like a champion! The long neck allows me to get into tight places and fasten wires so they won’t catch on other components. The only feature I wish it had was some kind of trigger safety. Care (safe tool usage) must be used around the stapler because if it’s connected to air, a staple will come out if the trigger is pulled! I knew this before purchasing, so it was not an issue for me. If you are looking for a narrow crown, light in the hand, long neck, reliable (no jams yet!) and reasonably priced pneumatic stapler, this is a great choice. Definitely worth 5 stars!

Be careful to buy the exact staples for this. This doesn’t take normal staples you’d find at a standard hardware store (I checked three big name hardware stores in my city and none had the staples). I had to order them online. This staple gun is very well built and functions as intended. Highly recommended for reupholstering furniture

I wanted a long nose small size, 3/8 head stapler for upolstry for a bit. All of my tools are high end, very little room in my heart for crappy tools. I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY THIS. This is now welcomed to my arsenal or nailers and staplers. It is small and light weight and very versatile no jamming at all and very consistent!! Love it!!

This review is for the Meite MT7116LN, long nose stapler that shoots very thin, 71 series, 22 gauge staples. I used 3/8" long staples to finish this project. Disclaimer; I am not an upholsterer. However I have done upholstery. But this chair was by far the most difficult thing I've recovered. I initially stapled all the fabric with an Arrow T50 pneumatic stapler that worked just fine. It uses big, fat 18 gauge T50 staples. But... when it came time to install the double piping, (sewn on my hand cranked, Singer model 28, manufactured in 1894, with a special foot made just for piping!), those big, fat staples were making a mess of things. And there were places I just couldn't reach with the snubnose Arrow. So I was making lame excuses why the chair was taking so long, and how badly it was turning out, and the wife asked me why I wasn't using a long nose staple gun with thinner staples? Because I literally have nearly every tool known to man. Well, uh, I didn't have a long nose, fine gauge staple gun. Heck, I didn't even know these things existed. I mean, I never saw one at my local hardware store. But she watches those silly design shows that fill your head with insider knowledge. So she educated me in the esoterica of the upholsterer's art. So I hopped onto algors amazing internet, clicked open Jeff's gift to online shoppers, and found a plethora of staplers. (That's also where I got that nifty double piping sewing foot that I also didn't know existed. But I discovered that all by myself! Amazingly, you can still buy brand new accessories for these antique,19th century machines!) Back to staplers, now! Whoa! There are so many staple guns! Many of them are cheaper. Many of them include staples. Many of them have huge heads. This particular Meite is none of those. It's kinda pricey for a hobbyist, it doesn't include free staples, and it has a really compact body. And, it also has really, really good reviews! What really hooked me was I read a review that compared this stapler to BEA. I've never used BEA, but that guy had, he staples lots of stuff, and liked this one just as much as the BEA. Well, that review is what steered me towards this stapler. Sure, I wanted to save money and get the cheaper offerings, but I also wanted to get this chair finished with a minimum of hassle or issues! Amateur workmanship is one thing. Constant mechanical failure is another! And I gotta say, it probably does work just as good as a BEA, because it worked perfectly for me. Granted, I've only shot less than 1000 staples through it, and I'm finally finished with the chair, so I can't give a longer term review. But I can say that for me, it performed flawlessly! And the compact dimensions made it really easy to maneuver around tight spaces! Also, it has rear exhaust by the air input, so no issues with blowing compressor air on your project. Overall, it's a big win for performance, if you don't mind the extra coin to cover the higher price. If you made it this far, you're a trooper! Or really bored!

Terrible quality pneumatic staple gun. Stopped working on day 2 of use. Company refuses to help me out. Searched online for ideas to fix problem but nothing worked. If I could I would give it 0 (zero) stars. Buy another brand. I do not recommend.

Use alot and works well but every so often slide hangs up and you have to turn upside down than tap on counter to continue so a little annoying

I'm in the process of redesigning/repairing our ailing sofa. When it came time to put the fabric back on, I tried using my hand stapler with no success. After some searching I decided on a long-nose upholstery staple gun for my air compressor. WOW! This Meite gun is fantastic. Easy to load. Easy to use. I did have a number of misfires the first time I used it. Not sure if was the gun or my learning curve. I was firing like a pro very quickly. I really did hate to have to buy a tool that I might not use very often, but it was well worth it. I'm using Senco 3/8 x 3/8 staples, simply because they had a 5k box and I knew I wouldn't need more than that for my projects. The different brand works great.vI'm using the gun with my Porter-Cable Pancake air compressor. I'm very pleased with this Meile long-nose upholstery gun and highly recommend it.

Oh my gosh! If you do any type of upholstery, you need to consider a pneumatic staple gun. I took a chance when I purchased this one because there was no rating on it. I am THRILLED beyond compare! I have never used a pneumatic staple gun and I have to say that it CHANGED MY LIFE! I will NEVER go back to the old staplers. In fact, I have them packed up and ready for donation to some other poor soul. I used this gun to reupholster a sofa. It was the first large upholstery job I had ever worked on. I have absolutely no training and have been teaching myself how to do this as I go along. After completing stripping this couch down to the bare wood, I had to rebuild it. After struggling for literally hours and hours with a manual stapler, I broke down and bought this. Wow! What a difference. I was able to EASILY get in hard to reach places with the 2" nose. I was able to move fast along the staple line and the staples shoot in snug and securely. The gun is well made and can handle a little bit of roughness. It fits in the hand nicely and it is super easy to reload the staples. So far, I have had absolutely NO staple jams which was a constant source of contention with the manual staple guns. I can't say enough good things about this gun. Also, the company was kind enough to point out to me that I had ordered the wrong staples after I placed the staple order separately. After getting the order correct for the staples, I was able to return them for a full credit. Be careful when you order because I ordered based on the information on the side of the staple gun which simply said to order "22GA" staples. There are TWO series of staples. Make sure you get the right series (71) for this gun. Would highly recommend. See pics below of the project I used this item for.

Works great 👍

Muito bom

Super ware

Très bien je recommande

I purchased the longnose 71 series staple gun as a specialised tool to get into those hard to reach places when upholstering. I used it for a full day when i first received it and it seems to be great quality and really consistent when firing. I’m happy with the purchase.
