Ozito SNG-2050

Does an excellent job for my purpose and cost – I bought this on special to reupholster 8 dining room chairs. This involves using many staples to attach the new vinyl sheeting over the foam cushion to the plywood base. I tried out the staple gun on various types of scrap timber as practice beforehand and was pleased to see the supplied staples driven fully into even hard timber. Doing the… Read more

chairs was a breeze as a result with the staples supplied (it comes with 1500 staples and 100 nails) so would recommend this staple gun for this and similar light duty work. The only problem I found was the staple spring feed slide would stick sometimes when feeding in so needed a jiggle or a wack.

I wonder if some of the other reviewers who complained that the staples would not go fully in pushed hard enough on the stapler when operating to stop backlash pushing the stapler back away from the job as the staple went in. I found that when the material was very hard the staples would buckle hard against the surface rather that stick out indicating the staples were too thin and weak to penetrate the hard material rather than lack of impact from the stapler.

Underpowered until I modified it☺️ – Works great now after I dismantled it and expanded the drive spring. It now drives the staples flush. It was very average before. Packs a decent punch now. Highly recommended  Show details

Very good for the price – While it was a little under powered to drive the staples into my hardwood joists, they went in far enough to hold underfloor insulation in place. Anyone going to get one needs to make sure they get the T50 staples. Bunnings didn't have any when I bought the stapler so I bought some from a hardware store across the road. 5000 staples were close to… Read more

the same price as the stapler but they worked very well so worth it. So it did the job I needed it to do very well.

Two so far... both rubbish – The first one wouldn’t work so was replaced under warranty late late year ... just opened the new one now to upholster some chairs and it won’t even turn on .. absolute rubbish ... taking it back to Bunnings for a refund not interested in the 3 yr replacement warranty would rather one that actually works... was all ready to start my project and now instead have to waste my day running around to get a new one Show details

Ozito SNG-2050 Staple Gun – This staple gun is for hobbyists only . I am a leatherworker,mainly making belts, bags etc out of leather, obviously, but I was asked to a re-upholster a M/C seat, something I rarely do. I already had the Ozito stapler from a previous job, ( that I should have learnt from) . The material was vinyl . The base was hard formed molded plastic.… Read more

While making the template, cutting, sewing & fitting the vinyl cover was easy, the staple gun gave me nothing but frustration. Its fine on soft woods like pine and on a flat surface, but trying to staple into hard formed plastics and around corners & curves , tight areas etc. was impossible. I destroyed just about every single staple, and pulling most of them out with a pair of pliers.Only on a flat section would a staple sometimes actually go in. It's simply just not powerful enough for anything outside soft woods. So for framing, and small & light jobs it would be great, but for anything else, forget it . As more upholstery jobs are now coming in, I am now considering buying a good quality pneumatic stapler/ bradder . I am now looking at either a Ryobi or a ' Spear & Jackson' bradder/ stapler ,but leaning more towards a S & J.

Hope all this helps.

It’s a toy – I have an old Bosch PK14 stapler that no one stocks staples for anymore so they have to be ordered in, they are Bosch specific and of course pricey. I bought the Ozito as a replacement as the staples are cheaper and readily available. Pretty disappointed. I was doing some vinyl upholstery work. It couldn’t drive home staples in pine… Read more

plywood and I had to finish them all with a hammer. I tried some Brad nails into pine and same problem. Ended up finishing the job with a hand stapler. Probably okay for cardboard and corflute but all in all I thought it was pretty useless as a stapler.

I returned it for a refund and ordered Bosch staples and justified the price of them by the performance of the Bosch.

Not as good as the old version – I had used a previous Ozito model (slightly different shape) of this staple gun for many years and it was absolutely fantastic. I fired thousands of staples perfectly. Eventually it died and bought this one to replace it. Unfortunately this new model doesn't seem to strike as hard as the old one and the staples are not driven all the way in. Even… Read more

when stapling into particle board, the staples sit at least 2 mm proud of the surface. The old one would staple dead flush into seasoned hardwood. Will be returning it, but there's no alternative that doesn't involve shelling out serious cash. Might be OK if you were just working with paper, cardboard and foam though.

Nice electric staple gun - highly recommended – Bought this to staple some shade cloths under my pergola. Tried using a manual staple gun but it was not safe doing it on a ladder. Finding an electric staple gun is pretty difficult in Melbourne with not much choices. I was a bit apprehensive about the Ozito brand but at $39 (which is cheaper than some of the branded manual staple gun), I thought… Read more

why not.

Wow was I surprised. The quality of the staple gun is quite good. It comes with 1,500 staples and 100 nails. It punched the staples in quite easily into the battens. Pretty powerful. You can get a cordless one but I prefer the corded version as I don't have to worry about batteries dying on me.

Highly recommended product. Works well. Very light and easy to hold. Easy to use. Good quality. At $39, its a good buy.
