None of the Staples needed hammering flat, though I'm not sure whether this will be the case with hardwood. The staple gun itself is all metal which gives it a reassuring weightiness, and suggests it will be durable. It is easy to load Staples when you know how (the instructions could have been clearer), and the trigger mechanism doesn't require too much pressure which makes it comfortable to use for longer periods. There are cheaper staple guns, but I'd be surprised if they performed consistently as this one. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rapid Heavy Duty Manual Staple Gun PRO R23 for No. 13 Staples, Upholstery Staple Gun with Ergonomic Handle, All-Steel Construction, and Easy Loading System, Made In Sweden (10600521), Silver - Rapid High-Performance Staples for Textiles, Finewire No. 13, Leg Length 6mm, Staple Gun Staples, Galvanised Steel, 5000 Pieces, Boxed (11830700) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48640144-pro-r23-heavy-duty-manual-staple-gun-professional-upholstery-staple](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48640144-pro-r23-heavy-duty-manual-staple-gun-professional-upholstery-staple) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
