Hot staple gun

Unread post by moizeau »

Just dropped my Makita from a scaff, the plastic halves didn't like it.
Anyone got one and any recommendations?
Cheers

Yes I have a hot staple gun and it has been used to great effect. So far I have repaired a wheelie bin which had split right down the corner, a snow shovel split right up the middle, a hand brush handle and a few other things. Most documented on the DIY with Function over Finesse thread!! :-D

This is the one I bought and I added an extra 1000 staples:

When you've got a sec, no rush. That's high, how much was it?

It's high because it's wrong!! That is the one in the link I put at the bottom. :? I've just checked my order and it was 70W and cost me £11.03 in March 2024. :-D
