Stapler Recommendation

I had been seeking an adequate staple gun for attaching grips and butt caps. My regular staple gun did not penetrate grips well and although it used narrow crown heavy-duty staples, they were still pretty wide. After searching around, I found a powerful stapler that uses the same width staple as those used by racquet manufacturers: 3/16-inch crown, 5/16-inch length. So far I have not run into a handle that the staples will not penetrate.

It is the Craftsman Electric Stapler — the regular corded model — Sears item #00927231000, manufacturer model #27231 (list $119.99). The staples are Sears item #00927209000, manufacturer model #27209.

There is a cordless version that might be convenient, but I wasn’t aware that it existed when I bought mine. The cordless/battery version is actually a bit cheaper than the corded model. The Sears item number is #00927235000, manufacturer model #27235.
