The Cleaning InstituteWhen working on projects and tough jobs, one of the most important tools to have on hand is a pneumatic stapler. Ideal for any type of job, whether you’re performing woodworking or handling upholstery. With our years of experience, our team took the time to test a variety of pneumatic staplers and deliver you our top suggestions.
Testing categories are necessary to ensure we can rate and compare each stapler we examined. Our categories included Durability, Ease of Use, and Design.
Durability – We checked out how durable and strong each pneumatic stapler was to ensure it would hold up well with frequent use.
Ease of Use – The comfort provided and how secure the stapler felt in our hands allowed us to determine its ease of use.
Design – The overall design and construction of each stapler determined how many points we awarded it.
As an air-operated stapler, the Surebonder Stapler has a quick release magazine with a rubber cushion handle. It can get a variety of jobs done professionally and is easy to use!

The body has a powder-coated finish to prevent scratches from forming to maintain the quality and look of the stapler.
Biggest downsides: The stapler doesn’t include extra bells and whistles compared to other staplers on the market, but it still has a high value due to its price tag.
