Ugh! A tOoL rEviEw vIdEo? Booorrrrring. Maybe, but for those of you that think you might need a staple gun one day, you'll want to watch the video. I picked up my first stapler nearly 10 years ago & since then my upholstery projects have become more & more advanced. Which Staple Gun is right for you? I made this video to help take the guess work out of choosing your beginner, mid-level & advanced stapler purchases. What you can expect from each & a full review of my newest tool The MEITE Long Nose Stapler. I also give you all a little advice on how to use a staple gun in general. To make this tool review a little more interesting I through a chair makeover in as well. This is my longest sitting, incomplete project. I've moved this little cane back chair around with me for 6 years. I didn't have the heart to give up on the dream of give it a makeover. Another project of my list & a pretty chair ready for it's new home. Upholstery DIY can feel overwhelming but it's nearly as complex as you might think. You can check out other MEITE tools on their @MEITEUSA UA-cam Channel & Website.

Great video. Your air compressor should have a regulator where you can adjust the air pressure. Which will allow you to adjust how deep the staple drives into the wood.
Came to say the same. Thank you.
Heed the comment!!! Regulator on the air compressor!!!
And please please wear safety glasses/gloves (emergency room recommendation)
I've never upholstered anything. Do you, or should you wear goggles? I'd be concerned about staples breaking and flying into your eye.
I’ve been using landscape fabric forever. So cheap at garage or estate sales. Love the idea of using old rugs for covering stools that you used. Making me take a second look at damaged rugs and piano scarves, etc. when I see them at sales.
Agree
Thank you so much for this video. I can no longer use the stanley hand held stapler due to lake of strength in my hands as I grow older.
Love the chair with the black linen fabric!
Thanks so much for the review! The black was a perfect choice, it turned out beautiful
Yes, I remember using the starter stapler as a beginner on upholstering small pieces. If you look amateur up in the dictionary, you would see my picture, but amazingly my items always sold really fast. Unfortunately, I no longer have a vintage booth, but I miss it so much. Thanks for all the great tips.
That’s funny ☺️
Thank you so much for all the great information you did a beautiful job on the chair
Thanks!! Exactly what I needed right now. Keep up the good recommendations Amanda😊
Thanks so much for sharing this tool info it was much needed
There should be a tension adjustment dial on all staple guns to minimize or maximize the force of the staple firing. Also, there is a range of psi that you can turn your air compressor that will help with firing force. Usually, it’s 60-90psi. So turn to your lowest psi and adjust your staple depth on your stapler. Works for me. 🤷🏼♀️
Thank you so much for posting this video. I'm slightly turning my hobby into a potential business through word of mouth. I'm currently searching for more advanced staplers and your tutorial is just what I needed for my research.
Oh hey Amanda…Cheryl in Ruckersville here……yes please more tool reviews/how to/ unboxing. I got stuff in my garage still in the box, I’m a lil scared. Un-intimidate me/us !! 😬😘.
Okay I wanted this video! I’ve been looking into upgrading from a power shot and this was so helpful. Thanks Amanda!😊
I love watching you AND I have learned SO much! The way you shop and display your booth. Keep up the great job:)
The only thing I wish for on staplers like the Stanley is they would come up with a grip assist(like they have for spray paint cans) that minimize hand strength fatigue. Maybe they do? Idk. I just insulated our basement ceiling using a similar brand to the Stanley and Aye-chihuahua!! Sore hands and arms.😳
Very thorough tutorial - love your channel!
Great, informative video! Upholstery (except the simplest kind) has always intimidated me. You make it look easy!
Great reviews
I just might do the fabric recovering like you did for the cane chair that just sits on my to-do shelf!!
I absolutely love the chair! It will sell in a jiffy!
Yes, I started with the manual Stanley, but my hands are so small that it was a struggle. I upgraded to a manual easy touch stapler and loaned it to a friend and never got it back! So, I bought an electric Aarow and love it (also didn't tell anybody I had one). Since I don't have a business anymore this one works for my few projects, but if I ever go back in business - this is great review! I also didn't know about the web stretch comb. Thanks Amanda!
i love all of your videos! i’ve had a stanley gun for a few years but i feel like i just learned so much in this one video. i am on my 8 month of owning a booth and it is so much fun!
Ive been using the BEA 71/16 guns for years and they are fantastic for all upholstery work. Worth every penny !
Do you know how empowering this video is for women!? Do you know that I have wondered about staple guns for a while, turned projects down at estate sales cause I wasn’t sure about the staple gun game. I just LOVE that you help us demystify tools, like I can’t say ENOUGH how awesome you are for doing this!
Next question, I have a kitchen table that the top is now destroyed from my husband leaving vegetables on in bags. Anyone remember the show where she used some goop to take the finish off? What goop is that?
I should mention I’m 51 years old so maybe my comment doesn’t apply to all women, hope I don’t offend anyone.
Love that chair 😍
your good upholstery work I like 👍 because I am also sofamaker upholsterer
Just watched n enjoyed the learning process.. have two side chairs that I'll be covering.. but I'm new to this process so.. hand held borrowed from my son's tools is the way to go for me.. on the fabric choice you made , it will appeal to broader audience.. so best choice for resale...but that being said.. I can see blue velvet would be breath taking!!thanks for all your teaching generosity
You're hilarious and awesome! Thanks for the tips, can't wait to try my amateur hand at the two chairs sitting in my basement! :)
Check your compressor pressure (air nail/staple guns work best at 90 psi), most air compressor have an adjustable pressure regulator and if set too high it will over penetrate. It also will wear out air tool if continually run at too high pressures.
So interesting!
Like a bat outta hell love it! Chair looks great. ❤️❤️❤️
I love ALL your videos! Even if they’re about silly ole staplers!
Love the long nose but getting the pressure correct for the type of wood is tricky.
I was going to say its not the gun that packs a punch really its the gun mixed with the psi setting for the air compressor and the softness/ hardness of the wood on the project. Just takes some time and tweeking to get to know the sweet spot with the gun compressor combo.
I just got an electric one. It can be expensive to buy the air stapler and then the air compressor. If you do many projects I can see the advantage of the air stapler and looks easier to use for example a dinette set of chairs would be much easier to complete with it. Thank you for sharing. It was informative.
Another great video and I agree with a earlier comment be safe and wear safety glasses. I would hate to see one of those flying bat-out-of-hell staples shoot your eye out.
Great job! Make sure you adjust the air pressure so you’re not applying too much and making it harder on yourself. Also, get used to using the safety.
I think you can decrease the psi so it isn’t shooting the dang staple so deep. Glad you did this, I will be considering this one!
Velvet would be beautiful! BTW I watched MEITE’s video and I heard may-tea.
Love the video Amanda! It almost looks as if the name of the Meite air stapler can be pronounced like mighty. Not sure about that but that’s what it looks like to me? Have an awesome day😊
An electric meat knife is great for cutting foam and you can usually find them cheap at thrift stores and estate sales.
You can dial down the pressure on your compressor so it doesn't shoot the staples so deep.
Wow, so definitely make sure you don't have kids or pets around when you hook up the air hose to that crazy staple gun! That's nuts that it just randomly fires out a staple like that!
i just join your channel . please guide me which MEITE stapler fun i shuld buy .there is so many. and also which air compresser i should i should i get. please answer.e i will appreciate. thank you so much.
Hello. I am looking for an advice for the right kind of stable machine for a project. Basicly i am polstering a half car tire, for a boxing bag project. And because the clams, will not sit as tigh in the rubber, as wood, i really want a stable machine, that bend the clams, on the other side of the rubber, so its close around it. Been looking on the rapid classic model, witch should work, but i dont think it has enough pressures to shoot throu the tire, as its mean for paper work, right? So i am looking for some solution for this. I want to attach 8 layers of towels, throu the rubbertire, all in all about 2 cm thickness. Perhaps there is a model of a tool, i dont know about. I hope you can help me with an advice. Kind regards
I have a Sailrite long nose and it’s perfect for me. I have 6 chairs from France that I inherited from my Aunt, and need to get my butt in gear and cover the seats. You’re videos are so fun and give me the boost I need to get going on these chairs. Love your booth videos! Have a wonderful week!
Turn your air compressor down to 40 or 50 psi.
Beautiful chair .. you kept it around because you know classy taste when you see it ( black linen was a sophisticated choice -- goes w/ high or low decor) sidebar : what is hanging on the wall behind you ... ? Looks like some kind of animals .... ( and the middle sofa leg was crooked ?...?) Sorry , I'm in a goofy mood today !!
so I guess what you are saying is don't use the "Meaty" one for staple gun wars?😁🤣😅 thank you for your review
Thanks for the info, but I’m not into the tools and upholstery, just the picking and selling at your booth
Love your channel but please next time you use your staple gun or nail gun please use safety eye goggles. Remember safety first 😉
It’s mighty just spelled differently
