Ok, so I had the same problem, my stapler didn’t work and I did all this research, but nobody had the solution. Eventually I worked it out for myself and I will share it with you. After years of good use my stapler started jamming. I tried oil, and filing the hammer. It wasn’t that! The constant percussion of the stapler had fractionally compressed the joints where the staples come out. I looked carefully at the exit of the staples and realized that the staples were not flowing freely from the exit. With a screwdriver I LIGHTLY reopened the passage so that the staples could be pushed more easily by the spring and hey presto 🎉 the staples aren’t blocked and work perfectly as new!!! Years of frustration ended. I hope this helps you. DK👍
Me too so loaded right now. Still doesnt shoot the staples. Problem is not made in USA. And of course no instructions at all. hubby can try. Will return for refund if he cant get to work. Stanley used to be a quality product.
The firing plate doesn’t retract enough to let the next staple load. Take the loading carriage out, turn it upside down and squeeze the handle a couple of times. You can see the firing plate moving. Now file it down a bit, half a millimetre is plenty. Now it won’t miss any more.
Hey bro nice video. I fluffed around with one too not working and the logistics to take it back cost more than the product What I noticed on mine was the spring thing that pushes staple in had a notch at the other end that needed to be twisted so it was pushing on the staples in the right way rather than angled. Could do with pliers
For what it may be worth after all this time. Your staples are too narrow, that it why you had to force it closed. So they cannot slide freely to feed properly. The sizes you showed refer to the depth of the legs, not the distance between the legs. As shown on the box it takes Stanley 1-TRA200 but the box of staples says 1-TRA705T.
I had same problem today and I found the solution for it by myself. the staples I was using are for it okay but they were bad quality, very thick as the one he’s using in the video. I found a different kind I bought before and they look thinner even tho they’re same size.
Obviously you need the right sized staples, but for those of us who have the right staples, there can still be a log jam. Keep your apertures free flowing and all will be well.😅
Are you serious right now? You have A type staples stapler, but trying to use G type staples in it. LOL. It's crearly visible that stapler chamber is wider than staples.
The steamples are too tight they dont have enough place to mouve ( slise) it should move inside very easy so that you can shoot the steamples out . Wich Bauhaus is that ? In US ore Germany ? Or sommwere ellse ?... good luck budy 🤞🤞🤞
You probably bought it from Walmart, which buys its tools and pretty much everything else from China. Stanley making its stuff in Mexico and China now, so don't expect good workmanship from their tools anymore as they hire very, very cheap labor which results in very, very poor workmanship. If it don't say, made in the USA or Germany, throw it in the garbage.

Thank you! BIG TIME !
Thank you sir! You are a legend!
This is really nice, first time I look for a video and find the problem, not the solution. Good job
Your definitely not alone good sir. Thanks for the info
Cool. Glad this video pops up to waste my time and offer no solution.
Same problem here, turned out the staples were at fault. I went to my local diy and got the right ones! Now tis working👌🏼
I can’t believe how more often these staple guns DONT work than they do. I have bought at least 1/2 dozen over the yrs
Thank you for the video, very helpful
This video was very helpful I have been loading the staples in all wrong

Thank you! Your demo showed that I was loading the staples wrong

I couldnt understand how to file down😔
NOW THATS GOOD ADVICE!!

Bought 1 from Walmart last week it worked 3 whole staples before it would not work at all

Did you ever find out why? I’m having the same problem.
I need to know
Mine is not working
Incase you're still trying to get your stapler to work you put the staples in the part that pulls out of the back of the stapler
@@ronaldblamble8206 thanks
@@ronaldblamble8206 Finally! Thank you!
Hey bro you put the stables in first at the the top when you slide it down
I am about to cry . I am redoing an old ironing table halfway my stapler stops working 😢😢😡.
Mine was made in Taiwan 2006. Doesn't say to load staples from the bottom.
You have to put staples on the sliding metal that you inserted
Literally says to not load from there on that piece of metal
Omg i can’t believe im here lol ! 😂 i hope this work for me.
Yep brain teaser i tasked Yt to solve. TY!
Are you serious right now? You have A type staples stapler, but trying to use G type staples in it. LOL. It's crearly visible that stapler chamber is wider than staples.
It's because they are selling it next to each other, probably bauhaus doesn't even know that It's the wrong kind
Nice expertiese
It works on parkside 8mm staples :]]]
Hello, you are using the wrong staple. This tool is an LD stapler and you are using an HD staple.
Thank you! I thought it was broken
I did too. Lol
@@stacyarrington340 me too!
Como funciona la pieza que empuja las grapas de engrapadora marca apex
Put the staples in from the bottom, as you showed, and the staples started coming out! Thanks!
