Best Product: Arrow T-25 Stapler & Wire Tacker

Tie me up, Tie me down. There are just a few tools that you need in a your apartment, and the T-25 Stapler is one of them.

What does it do?

The T-25 carries the larger staples with rounded tops that allow you to quickly and easily pin phone wires and TV or computer cables to your walls or baseboards. You hold it against the wire, pull the trigger and the staple goes right in around the wire, binding it tightly. We use this to clean up cordage from phones, stereos and even television cables.

You can get various size staples for various thickness of cable. If you get really carried away, you can try the bigger T20 or T50! But the T25 is the multipurpose solution that works well in homes. Available for @ $29 at most hardware stores and online.

So, I'm not about to use this for stapling wires. BUT I do have a question about staple guns, because I've been dissatisfied with 2 different models from at Home Depot for use reupholstering a chair. I bought the heavy duty kind, but it barely goes into the wood frame of the chair (and it's not particularly hard wood and the fabric is thin) and it's clear that if I stick with it I'm going to need a hammer to get most of the staples all the way in. What is the best staple gun for upholstery that will go all the way in? And are there any that have the velocity to shoot into a crevice? On the back of the chair in question there is a groove about 1/4 inch deep where the staples are supposed to go (and where there are the old staples, so I know that they were able to get in there somehow), but with the guns I've tried so far, you have to hold it right up against the surface. Any info on better upholstery staple guns would be much appreciated!
